RESEARCH

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 creative, skilled and motivated 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 fast-paced multidisciplinary environment.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• 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-group and cross-culture collaboration

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with joint hardware-software development and associated rapid prototyping.
• Experience transferring technology from research in computer vision, machine perception or machine learning into a shipping product.
• Demonstrated software engineer experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub).
• 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 similar.
  For those who live in or expect to work from California if hired for this position.

• 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
