On January 4, Xiaomi held the annual technology award ceremony in the park on the first day of work in 2022. Lei Jun wrote that this year's million dollar technology award list of Xiaomi is full of weight. Among the 68 participating projects, the iron egg quadruped bionic robot team won the highest award. According to Lei Jun, there are two fresh master graduates recruited by the school in 2020 in the team. They won the highest technical award of Xiaomi in only one year after joining Xiaomi. In addition, Xiaomi 12's new computational photography technology "all things focusing" function comes from iron egg's "master tracking technology". Lei Jun reiterated that Xiaomi will unswervingly continue to increase R & D investment, and the group's R & D investment will exceed 100 billion yuan within five years; We will continue to recruit 5000 engineers in 2022. (quiet) The following is the full text of Lei Jun's social media post: On the first day of the new year, the group held the annual technology award ceremony. First of all, we should warmly congratulate all the winning teams! Every time I participate in the selection of Xiaomi million dollar Technology Award, I am particularly excited. This year is the third year. Seeing that this year's award list is full of weight and a gathering of heroes, I am particularly proud of Xiaomi's engineers! The 68 participating projects in this award are excellent and of high standard, especially the cyberdog iron egg quadruped bionic robot team, the winner of this year's highest award. The team gave me three super surprises: First of all, there are two fresh master graduates recruited by the school in 2020 in the iron egg team. The two students joined Xiaomi for only one year and won the highest technical award of Xiaomi. They are really heroes and teenagers. It's amazing! Here, I strongly suggest that all departments should boldly appoint young outstanding talents and include the training and appointment of "young heroes" in the evaluation indicators of organizational capacity-building of all departments in the future. Second, the iron egg project brings together the technologies of many R & D teams of the group, and these technologies will soon be applied to our core products. Xiaomi 12's highly praised new computing photography technology "all things focusing" function comes from iron egg's "master tracking technology". Third, the iron egg project represents Xiaomi engineers' bold pioneering spirit, amazing self drive and imagination of future scientific and technological life. Iron egg is the work of engineers who spontaneously organize and independently project by virtue of their pursuit of very cool technology. With such a small team and such achievements in such a short time, it is really far beyond our imagination. "Technology-based" is the iron rule that Xiaomi will never change, and the engineer culture is the background color in Xiaomi's gene. Ensuring the achievement and happiness of engineers is the top priority of the group and the hope for the sustainable development of the group in the future. First, we will unswervingly continue to increase R & D investment, and the R & D investment of the group will exceed 100 billion yuan within five years; At the same time, we will continue to promote the "equity incentive plan for young engineers" to provide the best remuneration for excellent engineers; We will continue to provide more training, job transfer, innovation and pre research projects, give our engineers more room to play, and give every crazy idea a chance to try; In addition, we will strengthen the construction of our engineer team. In 2022, we will continue to recruit 5000 excellent young engineers. At present, Xiaomi is at the critical moment of starting its journey in the new decade. We are faced with a series of major propositions that determine the future and destiny of Xiaomi: winning the first place in the world in mobile phones in three years, officially benchmarking apple in product experience, aiot ecology in full swing, smart car related undertakings ready to go, etc. This is the vast space for Xiaomi engineers to show their skills. We should firmly establish self-confidence, continue to struggle, and never live up to the expectations of rice noodles. Millet engineers come on! (Xinhua News Agency)
