General Summary

At Qualcomm XR labs Europe, we’re a passionate team of engineers who want to change the world through virtual and augmented reality products and technologies. We develop state-of-the-art computer vision, deep learning, and graphics solutions to deliver ultra-optimized, power-efficient software and hardware to enable the intelligent perception of the world around us.

Our XR Labs engineers work on data acquisition and deep learning and computer vision models for self-perception including head tracking, hand gestures and tracking, as well as world perception where we apply 3D reconstruction and understanding of objects and environments including mapping and navigation. These algorithms allow intelligent head-worn XR devices to perform high-level perception functions. We design, prototype, optimize for Snapdragon XR2 and AR2 SoCs, and productize these algorithms through Snapdragon Spaces platform.

Qualcomm XR Labs Europe is rapidly expanding and seeking innovators who will create the new digital world. We have state-of-the-art facilities in Austria, France, the Netherlands, and Spain.

This position can be based in Amsterdam, Paris or Bordeaux
