Software Engineer (ML, Python)

Job Title: Software Engineer III (ML, Python)Duration: 12 Months (potential for extension based on performance)Location: Redmond WA or Burlingame CAW2 contract onlySummary: At Client’s Reality Labs (FRL), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Software Engineer to join our team.We are specifically looking for a candidate with experience in C++ and who can work with a team of researchers who are building prototype research devices. More broadly, the chosen candidate will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers and will have access to cutting edge technology, resources, and testing facilities.The ideal candidate will be someone who likes to learn constantly, dive into new areas with unfamiliar technologies, and embrace the ambiguity of AR/VR problem solving.They will also be someone who likes to collaborate in a team environment across multiple scientific and engineering disciplines, making the architectural tradeoffs required to rapidly deliver software solutions.Key Projects/Day-to-Day Responsibilities: Helping ML researchers take ML models that they develop, lot of reducing ML models, evaluating them, tuning them. Working with device, researchers, experimenting. Lot of Python, c C ++ and firmwarePurpose/Size of this team & where does this position fit within the team?Team of 50+ in Solaris and Key team of 5How will performance be measured? Delivery, ability to work with other engineers and researcher, productivityWhat makes this role interesting? Working on next version on wrist band that launched recently, working with cutting edge technologyValue added or experience gained:Experience with cutting edge machine learning models, electro myography with wearable device development.What are some difficulties that the candidate should be aware they may face in the role and need to be able to handle to be successful?
