Meta is hiring a Research Scientist Intern, CV and Machine Perception (PhD)

The Reality Labs (RL) Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. The Surreal Vision team is looking for the next generation of scientists and engineers to tackle the most ambitious problems in machine perception.

In this internship, you will not only work on the forefront research topics present in academia and industry, but beyond you will work with a team invested in building the complete stack from sensor design to state estimation and tracking to 3D reconstruction to novel scene representations.

Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty four (24) weeks long and you have the option to start at various dates throughout the year.Research Scientist Intern, CV and Machine Perception (PhD) Responsibilities

• Research, develop and prototype advanced software technologies in the domain of SLAM, visual localization, tracking, 3D reconstruction, SFM, Machine Perception, state estimation etc.
• Analyze and improve efficiency, accuracy, scalability and stability of currently deployed systems
• Design and execution of algorithms
• Prototyping, building and analysis of experimental systems
• Collaboration with and support of other researchers across various disciplines
• Communication of research agenda, progress and results

Minimum Qualifications

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in the field of Computer Science, Computer Vision, Robotics or related field
• Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
• Experience with statistical analysis of data and mathematical modeling
• Experience with developing 3D geometry, optimization, or information theory
• Experience in Python or C++
• Interpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration

Preferred Qualifications

• Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship
• Experience with SLAM systems e.g. monocular, stereo, visual-inertial, LIDAR, or RGBD
• Experience in geometric computer vision, including tracking, visual-inertial odometry, SLAM, relocalization, sensor/display calibration, large-scale structure from motion, probabilistic graphical models, or information sparsification technologies
• Experience working with cameras and advance imaging sensors, IMUs, Magnetometers, and other sensors that can be used in the context of localization and mapping
• Broad understanding of the full machine vision pipeline from sensors to high-level algorithms
• Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as CVPR, ECCV/ICCV, BMVC, ICRA, IROS, or RSS
• Demonstrated software engineer experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub)

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.

Meta is committed to providing reasonable support (called accommodations) in our recruiting processes for candidates with disabilities, long term conditions, mental health conditions or sincerely held religious beliefs, or who are neurodivergent or require pregnancy-related support.
