About the role
ByteDance's Pico unit seeks a PhD-qualified researcher to advance a vision system for VR/AR hardware. You will develop ML-driven perception pipelines, train data generation workflows, and optimize mapping to FPGA/accelerator hardware while collaborating with cross-functional teams on cloud-edge workloads. The role emphasizes research in ML/algorithm design, strong C/C++, Python skills, and a passion for innovative AR technology. Los Angeles area work is expected with a competitive package.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
