Form of workThe Meta Reality Labs Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR. The Surreal Vision group at FRL Research is seeking exceptional Research Scientists to research and help build the egocentric machine perception functionalities that will underpin future VR and contextual-AI-enabled AR devices. We do this by developing - and leveraging - Project Aria. This role focuses on researching and formulating a new generation of end-to-end, real-time, egocentric methods for identifying objects the wearer interacts with and why, as well as building 3D maps of relevant objects around them.
- Help Advance the science and technology of intelligent machines
- Work on projects, strategies, and problems of moderate to high complexity and scope. Can identify and define both short & medium term objectives
- Design policies, processes, procedures, methods, tests, and/or components, from the ground up and with the understanding of how to put together end-to-end systems
- Independently lead projects and work cross-functionally to bring research advancements to production teams and Meta Products
- Plan and execute cutting-edge research and development to advance the state-of-the-art in machine perception, mapping, reconstruction and localization, as well as 3D scene understanding across optical/inertial/wireless sensing systems
- Collaborate with other researchers and engineers across machine perception teams at Meta to develop experiments, prototypes, and concepts that advance the state-of-the-art in AR/VR systems
- Work with the team to help design, setup, and run practical experiments and prototype systems related to large-scale long-duration sensing and machine reasoning
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- PhD in the following fields: Computer Vision, Robotics, State Estimation, 3D Reconstruction, Object Tracking, Physics based models, or a related field
- Experience leading a team in solving modeling problems using AI/ML approaches
- Experience communicating research for public audiences of peers
- Proven publications in machine learning, AI, computer science, statistics, applied mathematics, data science, or related technical fields
- Experience with real world system building and data collection, including design, coding (C++) and evaluation (C++/Python)
- Hands-on experience implementing 3D Computer Vision algorithms, Sensor Fusion, Reconstruction, Object Tracking, Mapping, and Image Processing
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience holding a faculty, industry, or government researcher position in a role with primary emphasis on AI research
- Strong track-record of published research in the fields of Object Tracking / Detection / Segmentation or 3D semantic scene understanding.
- Experience in developing and debugging in C/C++, Python, or C#
- Experience working in a Unix environment
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
About Meta:
Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
