Meta, Redmond, Washington, United States, 98052
AI Research Scientist, 3D Machine Learning & Computer Vision
Meta Reality Labs Research (RL Research) brings together an industry-leading R&D team of researchers, developers, and engineers with the shared goal of developing AI and AR/VR technology across the spectrum. The Surreal Spatial AI group is seeking innovative research scientists to build machine perception technology that allows AI agents and systems to perceive and understand the 3D world around them. The aim of this role is to develop, advance, and integrate machine‑learning and computer‑vision models and software systems for advanced, real‑time machine perception on egocentric devices such as Meta’s Project Aria, including 3D environment and object reconstruction, semantic understanding, estimation and understanding of user motion, actions, and activities, and learning of predictive, causal world models for embodied AI agents and egocentric devices. Base pay range
$147,000.00/yr – $208,000.00/yr Responsibilities
Research, develop, and prototype state‑of‑the‑art ML and software in the domains of world models/VLA, long‑context & consistent 4D scene understanding, 3D environment and object reconstruction, estimation and understanding of user motion, and related areas. Build and integrate real‑time prototypes for advanced, real‑time 3D machine‑perception systems as part of a fast‑moving research and research‑engineering team. Collaborate with team members throughout the lifetime of a project, from prototyping to deployed products. Deliver research results that have a direct impact on Meta and Meta’s AI‑enabled products. Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a PhD in computer vision, machine learning/AI, robotics, or an equivalent field. Track record of state‑of‑the‑art publications in the field at top conferences. Experienced in advanced computer‑vision and ML, with a thorough understanding of 3D geometry fundamentals, state‑of‑the‑art ML/AI models, mathematical background, numerical optimization, linear algebra, probabilistic estimation, and 3D geometry. 3+ years of C++/Python experience with mastery of modern language features. 3+ years of experience with modern ML frameworks. Strong interpersonal experience: cross‑group and cross‑functional collaboration. Must obtain and maintain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire. Preferred Qualifications
Proven track record of achieving significant results demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, and first‑authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as CVPR/ICCV/ECCV, NeurIPS/ICLR, ICRA/RSS/CoRL/IROS, or SIGGRAPH. Demonstrated software‑engineer experience via internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open‑source repositories (e.g., GitHub). Broad understanding of the state of the art of ML and AI model architectures and training paradigms. Experience working on real‑time, high‑performance systems in robotics, world models, AR/VR, or related areas. Experience working in a Linux environment. 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 beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers 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. Meta is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affidative Action employer. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, transgender status, sexual stereotypes, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
