At Meta, we’re building the future of human connection and the technology that enables it. This means continuously inventing and developing technologies for the next generation of experiences. To continue our efforts in the path to AGI, and as we move closer to a future with intelligent robots and advanced AI models, we're hiring talent across a broad range of disciplines from robotics hardware to system software and artificial intelligence.
Requirements
- Experience with any of the following research areas: 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 LLMs
- 2+ years of industry experience in relevant robotics related research areas, such as: VLM, robot learning, reinforcement learning, imitation learning, action-conditioned world models, task and motion planning, sim-to-real transfer robotic control, manipulation, navigation, or generally embodied AI
- Experience working with robot simulations and real-world hardware.
- 5+ years of industry experience in relevant robotics related research areas, such as: robot learning, reinforcement learning, imitation learning, action-conditioned world models, task and motion planning, sim-to-real transfer robotic control, manipulation, navigation, or generally embodied AI.
- Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as publications at leading workshops, journals or conferences in Machine Learning (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR), Robotics (ICRA, IROS, RSS, CoRL), Computer Vision (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV).
- Experience with manipulating and analyzing complex, large scale, high-dimensionality data from varying sources.
- Experience building systems based on machine learning and/or deep learning methods.
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 functionalities 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
Other
