Software Engineer II - The Mixed Reality Group
Overview: In Mixed Reality, we are building the next generation of devices and infrastructure for training and in-field deployment of in-field scenarios like project IVAS (Integrated Visual Augmentation System). To get there, we're incorporating diverse groundbreaking technologies from sensors, computer vision, machine learning, human-computer interaction, AI, and more. We're a growing team of talented engineers and artists putting technology on a human path across Holographic devices.
As a Software Engineer II on the Mixed Reality Team, you will work on the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS). The United States Army has contracted Microsoft to prototype hardware, software, and cloud solutions for IVAS.
