• Experience with robotics frameworks like Robot Operation System (ROS), along with experience working with robotic simulations and real-world robots.

• Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment.

• Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as publications at leading workshops, journals or conferences such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ICRA, IROS, RSS, CoRL, CVPR, ICCV and ECCV.

• Experience solving complex problems and comparing alternative solutions, tradeoffs, and different points of view to determine a path forward.

• Experience with research areas such as Vision Language Models, Egocentric Perception, Large Language Models and Natural Language Processing.

• Demonstrated research and software engineering experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub).

Company:

Meta is a social technology company that enables people to connect, find communities, and grow businesses. Founded in 2004, the company is headquartered in Menlo Park, California, USA, with a team of 10001+ employees. The company is currently Public Company.
