Software Engineer, Camera Systems

At Meta, we're building cutting-edge camera systems and algorithms that enable high-quality media capture and AI features. We're a team of engineers developing and shipping innovative hardware, software, and content that push the boundaries of what's possible in AR, VR, and MR products. As a Camera Software Engineer, you'll drive the architecture, development, and productization of end-to-end camera pipelines across our devices. You'll own complex, ambiguous technical problems spanning on-device perception, image quality, ISP pipelines, and sensor calibration, while partnering across hardware, algorithms, and product teams to ship high-quality camera experiences at scale.

Design and develop end-to-end camera pipelines and features for AR/VR and wearable camera devices Research, design, implement, and verify complex camera systems and HW/FW tasks, including AI sensing, ISP, 3A, IQ algorithms, and IQ tuning tools Develop platform-agnostic algorithms that scale across variable hardware and product configurations Optimize and drive improvements in performance, latency, and power efficiency across the full camera stack Ensure that quality, system performance, latency, and power metrics are met Partner directly with sensors, algorithms, and IQ teams to ship performant, reliable features across the full camera system
