Summary:
Reality Labs Research is seeking a research intern to help develop the next generation of interactive physics simulators for VR interactions. We are seeking candidates with experience in physics simulations, computational mechanics, and computer graphics, as well as knowledge of machine/deep learning methods to devise acceleration strategies for high-fidelity simulations in real-time.
The intern will be part of a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers working on breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interface, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence.
Work with researchers to help enable their work across the following research disciplines: - Interactive Physics Simulations- Interface Physics
Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. Some projects may require a minimum of 16 consecutive weeks.
Required Skills:
Research Scientist Intern, Interactive Physics Simulations (PhD) Responsibilities:
Develop, implement, and test novel numerical methods for the interactive simulation of soft deformable bodies, fluids, and physics-based sound to enable realistic virtual interactions.
Implement and develop numerical methods for numerical optimization, numerical linear algebra, numerical PDEs, and AI/ML, as well as performing analysis on these methods.
Implement and optimize the methods devised in a larger software infrastructure and collaborate with research scientists and software engineers to build demos and experiences based upon the developed tools.
Design and build integrated devices for novel AR/VR experiences.
Collaborate with the larger Reality Labs team and provide creative solutions to challenges in soft robotics and active material technologies.
Communicate or publish research activities and findings to collaborators across a variety of disciplines.
