Steven Lansel is a Software Engineering Manager with 12 years of experience building cutting-edge imaging and graphics technologies for Meta’s Oculus headsets, combining deep research roots and product-focused engineering. With a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford and prior senior research roles at Olympus, he blends algorithmic expertise in image processing with practical system design for cameras, microscopes, and AR/VR platforms. He has led teams since 2019 to turn novel imaging research into ship-ready foundation technologies for next-generation headsets. Based in Menlo Park, he hires and mentors engineers with strong graphics and image-processing backgrounds and is comfortable navigating both academic collaborations and product timelines. A less obvious strength is his track record of initiating open-innovation partnerships that accelerate research-to-product transitions across industry and academia.
