Facebook Reality Labs Research is looking for an exceptional systems engineer to help create and maintain state-of-the-art motion-capture systems to revolutionize photorealistic telepresence in virtual reality, thus enabling the ability to interact with anyone, anytime, anywhere. We have made some important advances, but it will take a team with a wide spectrum of skills to fully realize this goal. We need to harden our systems and processes so we can repeatedly capture at high volumes. The ideal candidate is a person with demonstrated experience in the full life cycle of systems development. A qualified candidate will shatter silos by working across multiple disciplines, diverse teams, suppliers, and adopters to ensure all aspects of the project are covered.
- Accountable for quality, stability and system output by monitoring system and infrastructure effectiveness
- Integrate new captures systems or confirmation changes into existing operations
- includes concept vetting, understanding the use case(s), impact of change, integration and test planning, verification and validation
- Lead issue review and prioritization process
- including designing and implementing tests, debugging and defining corrective actions
- Performs technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, risk analysis, and supportability and effectiveness analyses for total systems
- Performs functional analysis, timeline analysis, trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate researcher requests into hardware and software
- Collect system level requirements and drive the derivation of sub-system level requirements for new motion-capture systems
- Produce and present informal status briefings to project management
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering
- 5+ years of experience of complex system design
- Experience in working with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Research, Product Design, etc.
- System design and test experience with one or more subsystems or disciplines outside of Systems Engineering (e.g., Electrical, Mechanical, Software, etc.)
- Experience in fault analysis or failure mode analysis
- Experience in integration planning
- Experience in systems engineering processes, system architecture principles, and/or systems integration into development program life cycle activities
- Experience taking a system from concept to deployment
- 8+ years relevant experience
- Technical experience in full life cycle development of hardware or software including design, integration, and test
- Experience building sensing systems which include cameras, depth sensors, IMUs, microphones, etc.
- Experience with software development, including but not limited to C, C++, or Python
- Familiarity of computer and networking architectures, server development and deployment
