Job Detail

Computer Vision is a key ingredient in developing great virtual reality technology. We are currently seeking exceptional engineers with a proven track record in a computer vision (e.g., segmentation, detection, recognition, tracking, SLAM, visual-inertial odometry, structure from motion and/or 3D reconstruction) to join our Computer Vision team in Zürich. As a computer vision engineer at Oculus, you'll be solving challenges at the forefront of computer vision that transform virtual reality from dream to reality. We're looking for a creative engineer to usher in the next era of human-computer interaction by solving hard and exciting computer vision problems. The position requires a PhD in computer science, robotics, computer engineering, or similar areas, and a strong background in software development, modeling, analysis, and system building.RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop creative computer vision and tracking software for a variety of Oculus products

• Plan and execute cutting-edge research to advance Oculus product development

• Develop novel real-time 3D scene reconstruction techniques and delivering accurate visual odometry systems

• Apply machine learning to computer vision problems

• Perform research that enables modeling and tracking the human body

• Research and prototype techniques and algorithms for object detection and recognition

• Develop robust software for integrating multiple sensors and tracking systems

• Collaborate with HW and SW engineers to develop prototype solutions for tracking, detection and modeling

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree or postdoctoral assignment in the field of Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Computer Graphics, Robotics or similar

• Must be able to start employment on or after January 1, 2018

• 5+ years experience with computer vision – specifically real-time tracking (e.g. of objects, hands, bodies, faces) or 3D reconstruction

• 3+ years of experience engineering in C++

• Experience with computer vision/machine learning libraries such as OpenCV, Matlab, or Torch

• Knowledge in machine learning, Bayesian filtering, information theory, and 3D geometry

• Prototyping skills

• Interpersonal skills: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration

• Able to obtain work authorization in Switzerland beginning in 2018
