Job Description

Back to All Jobs Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities — we're just getting started. 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.
RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop advanced manufacturing-ready test stations and accompanying software infrastructure for AR/VR products.
• Develop end-to-end camera calibration test environment, including algorithm test sequence, motion stage/robotics control, image capturing/processing and data transaction interface to defined IT infrastructure.
• Analyze, evaluate, design, integrate and test first article fixture to meet specification and proof of concept.
• Develops camera intrinsic and extrinsic test specifications, procedures, and debug guides for test solutions.
• Lead functional technology groups and drive cross-functional decisions on test development and architecture.
• Validation of test SW releases, including repeatability and negative testing, and coordinate SW upgrades with fixture integrator and CM/JDM partners.
• Troubleshoot and debug test systems and automation solutions from a software and hardware perspective in full autonomy.
• Oversee rollout and validation of SW/FW releases at manufacturing partner.
• Coordinates third-party vendors in designing, fabricating and developing test systems.
• Support failure analysis on systems returned from the field and use data to improve test strategies and processes.
