Job Summary:
“Any sufficiently complex technology is indistinguishable from magic.” - Arthur C Clarke
The Team
In a time where children carry devices with AI in their pockets, robots deliver fast food meals, and other science fictions have become mundane reality, we need new magic: New ways to connect with our guests, to surprise them, make them smile, and open their minds to magic - not just in our parks and resorts, but everywhere in the world.
At Disney Research Imagineering this emerges from the application of bleeding edge science to everything from enabling new guest-facing experiences in the parks to assisting cast members and transforming critical business processes.
At Disney Research, we focus on new ideas and ways of thinking, working to solve the biggest challenges that are otherwise unsolvable without deep understanding of both the complexities of the Disney business, and the opportunities afforded by bleeding edge scientific exploration and application.
