AR/VR Test Development Engineer - Camera Tracking Calibration Facebook
Redmond, WA

Job Description

The AR/VR Test Development Engineer - Camera Tracking Calibration applies the highest level of skill and knowledge of Computer Vision domains in designing test architecture and developing calibration algorithms. You will drive conceptual hardware test design with technology groups in early product exploration stage and validate first article design in the lab. You will lead the end-to-end development of software and hardware calibration environment integration, includes test sequence, robotics-motion control, data capture and process, and integration of advance algorithms with third-party partners. You will be leading in documenting and troubleshooting station hardware/software issues on test equipment and systems and bridge to production. The ideal candidate is a self-driven individual working in a cross-functional team environment and will be responsible for planning the design, development, and implementation of factory test systems. You will enforce manufacturability, testability and ensure cost-effective designs are implemented for testing and automation systems, software, and equipment. This position will have responsibilities for NTI and NPI test development and bridge to sustaining support of production. You must be responsive, flexible and able to succeed within an open collaborative peer environment. We are looking for someone with a productive mindset who can apply their expertise to solve problems in creative, insightful ways.
