We are seeking a robotic controls researcher to work with a collaborative team within Meta's Reality Lab Research. This team is leveraging recent advances in robot embodiments, tools for data collection, and modern control policies, to advance robotic dexterous manipulation. The chosen candidate will work with a highly interdisciplinary team of researchers, engineers, and designers, and will have access to advanced technology, resources, and testing facilities.Conducting collaborative research on developing control algorithms for a wide range of robotics platforms Development of model predictive control approaches mapping robot observations and target references to low-level actuation control signals Development of robotic data collection sets and evaluationsBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or in a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or relevant degree and 5+ years experience in robotic control systems 5+ years experience with both traditional reflexive controllers (PID, LQR, OSC) and modern predictive controllers (MPCs) Experience with generative AI models such as transformers, LLMs, VLMs, VLAs, and diffusion models A track record of research contributions with your work published in top conferences and journals such as Robotics (RSS, ICRA, IROS, CoRL, T-RO, IJRR), Machine Learning (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, JMLR), and Computer Vision (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, TPAMI) Experience with robotic data collection for training autonomous control policy models Experience with physical systems, including interfacing with novel sensors and actuators Experience working with robot manipulationMeta 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.
