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 user experiences with augmented reality devices, influence hardware design decisions, and develop new models of human visual perception. The ideal candidate will bring deep knowledge of human visual perception, particularly in color vision, to help the team address issues of color uniformity and binocular color vision, thereby 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, verifying with empirical data.
• Plan and conduct psychophysical studies with human subjects in compliance with all regulations.
• Research, develop, and facilitate the 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.
• Conduct literature reviews on selected topics in Vision Science relevant to 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 environment.
• 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).
• Scientific background on human color vision (including models of color adaptation, chromatic contrast sensitivity, etc.).
• Experience in leading projects and working with cross-functional teams.
• Proficiency 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++.
