Microsoft Principal Software Engineer- Mixed Reality Team 

United States, Washington 

352936212

is responsible forego motion tracking, localization,and navigation across a wide range of mixed reality devices. These devicesin various challenging environments and operating conditions. While there is significant academic progress in these areas, the challenge of reliable and robust operation in a plethora of operating conditions while running on a minimal power budget presents exciting opportunities forcutting edgetechnology building.

In Mixed Reality, people—not devices—are at the center of everything we do. Our tech moves beyond screens and pixels, creating a new reality aimed at bringing us closer together—whether that’s scientists “meeting” on the surface of a virtual Mars or some yet undreamt-of possibility. To get there,incorporating diverse groundbreaking technologies, from the revolutionary Holographic Processing Unit to computer vision, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and more.
