About the role

Research Scientist role focusing on embodied artificial intelligence for robotics, with emphasis on system design, modeling, fabrication, prototyping, and collaboration within a focused incubation team at Meta.

Responsibilities

  • Perform fundamental and applied research to push the scientific and technological frontiers of embodied artificial intelligence
  • Invent/improve novel data-driven paradigms for robotics, leveraging a variety of modalities (images, video, text, audio, tactile, etc.)
  • Investigate paradigms that can deliver a spectrum of embodied behaviors - from simulated characters to real robots, and from short-horizon, low-level to long-horizon, high-level intelligence
  • Develop algorithms based on state-of-the-art machine learning and neural network methodologies
  • Define, build and benchmark new functionality needed for the next generation of AI
  • Conduct research towards long-term product goals while identifying intermediate milestones
  • Lead, plan, and execute novel research based on long-term objectives of the organization

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • PhD degree in Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Language, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Experience with robotics, motion planning, embodied AI, human-robot interaction, sim-to-real transfer, learning from demonstration, reinforcement learning, dexterous manipulation, digital agents, vision language models, computer vision, egocentric perception, and/or Large Language Models
  • 5+ years of industry experience in relevant robotics related research areas, such as: Vision Language Models robot learning, reinforcement learning, imitation learning, action-conditioned world models, task and motion planning, sim-to-real transfer robotic control, manipulation, navigation, or embodied AI
