The Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) organisation at Facebook is helping more people around the world come together and connect through world-class Augmented and Virtual reality (AR/VR) products. With global departments dedicated to research and development in computer vision, machine learning, haptics, social interaction, and more, FRL is committed to driving the state of the art forward through relentless innovation. The potential to change the world is immense - and we’re just getting started. Our XR Tech team explores, develops, and delivers new cutting-edge technologies that serve as the foundation of current and future products. From mixed reality and human interaction to natural inputs and beyond, XR Tech is focused on taking new technologies from early concept to the product level while iterating, prototyping, and realising the human value and new experiences they open up. This role is part of XRTech’s AI Acceleration team. The team tackles system performance challenges and empowers XR Tech to bring heavy algorithm modules into product, taking into account hardware and software constraints. This is achieved by leveraging accelerators such as DSPs and NPUs, delivering performance optimisations and providing end to end solutions for teams to iterate fast and assess key algorithm metrics such as resource footprints (e.g. CPU, battery).Software Engineer, System Performance (Zurich) Responsibilities
