Research Engineer, ML, AI & Computer Vision

Research Engineer, ML, AI & Computer Vision at Oculus VR (Meta Reality Labs Research). The Surreal Spatial AI group seeks high-performing research engineers to build machine perception technology allowing AI agents and systems to perceive and understand the 3D world around them. The aim of this role is to develop, advance and integrate ML and computer vision models and software for full-stack, real-time machine perception prototypes for egocentric devices such as Meta's Project Aria, including 3D environment and object reconstruction, semantic understanding, and estimation and understanding of user motion, actions and activities.

• Implement and prototype advanced research systems and technologies spanning device and cloud, in the domain of AI and machine perception
• Collaborate with team members throughout the lifetime of a project, from early research through technology and experience prototyping
• Play a critical role in the definition and execution of system research roadmaps in partnership with cross-functional organizations in computer vision, machine learning, graphics, sensors, optics and silicon
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering and research teams from Reality Labs and FAIR in computer vision, machine learning, and graphics

• Bachelor\'s degree in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Robotics or a related technical field
• Experience in one or more of the following areas: Deep Learning, Computer Vision, AR/VR, 3D Vision, Robotics, Machine Learning or artificial intelligence
• Experience developing computer vision algorithms or computer vision infrastructure in C/C++ or Python

• Experience with distributed systems or on-device algorithm development
• Industry experience working on projects such as real-time Simultaneous Localization and Mapping and 3D reconstruction, sensor fusion and active depth sensing, object and body tracking and pose estimation, and/or image processing
• Experience in deep learning and PyTorch
• MSc or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robotics or related technical field

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 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.
