Our team, within Reality Labs at Meta, brings novel experiences to life on Meta’s AR and AI devices. We were closely involved in the development of multimodal Meta AI on Orion, and we are currently working on the next gen AR glasses. We are looking for upcoming scientists and researchers with great interest in real-time embedded software development and hardware acceleration to enable on-device AI within the performance, power and form-factor constraints of AR glasses.
Within the vast domain of on-device AI, we are currently focussing on three key areas: computer vision, audio interaction, and large language models. As a Research Scientist intern, you will help us advance the SOTA in one or more of these areas.
Responsibilities
Build and characterize experimental HW+SW systems on AR devices and device prototypes Develop embedded firmware and software in RTOS and mobile operating systems, e.g. AOSP Collaborate with other researchers and engineers across various disciplines
