The Opportunity

As a Human Vision Scientist within our Quantified Experience group, you will work closely with 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 leverage their deep knowledge of human visual perception, particularly in color vision, to advise the team on mitigating issues of color uniformity and binocular color vision, 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 verify models with empirical data.
• Plan and conduct psychophysical studies with human observers in compliance with all human-subject research regulations.
• Research, develop, and facilitate integration of color calibration algorithms (including white balance correction, color mixing, etc.).
• 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 data exchange.
• Perform literature reviews on selected topics in Vision Science relevant to XR.
• Conduct statistical analyses of experimental and sensor data.

The Experience You Bring

• 8+ years of professional experience in Human Vision Science in a technological or academic environment.
• PhD degree or equivalent in Human Vision Science, Psychology, Color Science, Neuroscience, or related fields.
• Working knowledge of colorimetry (including display calibrations and standard color spaces).
• Scientific background in human color vision (including models of color adaptation, chromatic contrast sensitivity, etc.).
• Experience working with cross-functional teams, providing leadership and expertise for new projects.
• Fluency in Matlab and/or Python, digital image processing, and statistical analyses.
• Excellent 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++.
