Research Scientist Intern, Multimodal Contextual AI (PhD)
About The Position
At Reality Labs, our team brings novel experiences to life on Meta’s AR devices. We are seeking upcoming scientists and researchers with great interest in real-time embedded software development and hardware acceleration to enable on-device contextual AI within the performance, power and form-factor constraints of AR glasses. Within the vast domain of contextual AI, we are currently focusing on three key areas: computer vision, audio interaction, and large language models. As a Research Scientist intern, you will help us advance the state-of-the-art in one or more of these areas. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
