About the role

Research Scientist intern in Meta Reality Labs Research (Surreal Vision) focusing on 3D-grounded generalist models for robotics, with goals including improved 3D/spatial understanding, development of generalist robotics policies, and validation in simulation and on real robots.

Responsibilities

  • Plan and execute cutting-edge research to advance the state-of-the-art in generalist robotics policies, as well as data pipelines and curation for large-scale 3D foundation models.
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers across robotics teams at Meta to develop experiments, prototypes, and concepts that advance robotics policy training and evaluation.
  • Design, set up, and run practical experiments and prototype systems to validate and demonstrate generalist robotics policies based on large-scale 3D foundation models, both in simulation and on real robots.

Qualifications

  • Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in computer vision, robotics, machine learning, computer graphics, or a related field
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
  • Demonstrated knowledge of and hands-on experience with robotics policy training
  • Demonstrated knowledge of and hands-on experience with large-scale 3D data pipeline & curation for robotics or foundation model training
  • Hands-on experience implementing large foundation models and generative architectures (e.g., LLMs, VLMs, video diffusion models, world (action) models, VLAs, and reinforcement learning)
  • Experience with Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch
