About The Position

The Meta Reality Labs Research Team brings together a team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AI devices. The Surreal Vision group at FRL Research is seeking exceptional Research Scientists to research and help build the egocentric machine perception functionalities for VR and contextual-AI-enabled AR devices; building and leveraging 3D-capable foundation- and expert models that can understand, reason and predict forward the environment and the wearers interactions with it. We do this by developing - and leveraging - Project Aria. This role focuses on core research and model training to understand, reason about, and predict forward the wearer's interactions with the environment, other people around them, etc.
