At Meta Reality Labs, we're developing the input technologies that will define the future of the virtual and augmented reality computing platforms. We are looking for a Research Scientist to join our machine perception team in advancing the state-of-the-art of human understanding, action recognition and statistical text decoding. You will work with research scientists, software engineers and hardware engineers to design technical solutions in a multidisciplinary environment.Contribute to and apply research that advances Meta products by developing novel input technologies for VR, MR and AR systems based on computer vision and machine learning Design and prototype interactive experiences and evaluate them through user research Design and prototype data collection systems to accelerate machine learning Collaborate and work across teams to develop concepts that advance the entire product pipeline (hardware, software, data collection, machine learning, etc.)Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience PhD in Computer Science or a related field with published projects in the fields of machine learning, deep learning and/or computer vision Proven experience in designing data collection protocols and quality control, manifested in solid contributions in constructing high quality computer vision and machine learning datasets Technical knowledge across a range of topics including machine learning, optimization, Bayesian statistics and state estimation Experience innovating or extending research ideas for new problem domains or for fitting new constraints Interpersonal experience: cross-functional and cross-team collaboration Demonstrated software engineer experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub) Experience transferring technology from research in computer vision, machine perception or machine learning into a shipping product Experience with joint hardware-software development and associated rapid prototyping Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at AI conferences such as CVPR, ECCV/ICCV, SIGGRAPH, NeurIPS, ICLR, ACL or similarMeta 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.Meta is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.
