The Opportunity

As a Human Vision Scientist within our Quantified Experience group, you will collaborate with other scientists and engineers across various teams to optimize users’ experiences with augmented reality devices, inform hardware design decisions, and develop new models of human visual perception. The ideal candidate will utilize their deep knowledge of human visual perception, specifically in color vision, to advise the team on mitigating issues related to color uniformity and binocular color vision, ultimately making a direct impact on the development of cutting-edge augmented reality products.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and apply models of human color vision and corroborate models with empirical data.
• Plan and conduct psychophysical studies with human observers while adhering to all human-subject research regulations.
• Research, develop, and facilitate the integration of color calibration algorithms (including white balance correction and color mixing).
• Characterize, model, and analyze the performance of displays and imaging systems based on color metrics.
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to bridge communication gaps, clarify requirements, identify risks, and support transparent exchange of data.
• Conduct literature reviews on relevant topics in Vision Science concerning XR.
• Perform statistical analyses of experimental and sensor data.

The Experience You Bring

• 8+ years of professional experience in Human Vision Science within a technological or academic setting.
• A PhD or equivalent in Human Vision Science, Psychology, Color Science, Neuroscience, or related fields.
• Working knowledge of colorimetry, including display calibrations and standard color spaces.
• A scientific background in human color vision, covering models of color adaptation and chromatic contrast sensitivity.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, providing leadership and expertise for new projects.
• Proficiency in Matlab and/or Python, along with digital image processing and statistical analyses.
• Exceptional communication, presentation, organization, and documentation skills.

It’s Exciting If You Also Have

• Published work in an area of human vision science.
• Knowledge of C#/C++.
