Job Description

The Reality Labs (RL) Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. The Surreal Vision team is looking for research interns to tackle the most ambitious problems in machine perception. In this internship, you will not only work on the forefront of research topics present in academia and industry, but beyond you will work with a team invested in building the complete stack from sensor design to state estimation and tracking to 3D reconstruction to novel scene representations. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty four (24) weeks long and you have the option to start at various dates throughout the year.

Research Scientist Intern, CV, AI and Machine Perception (PhD) Responsibilities

  • Research, develop and prototype advanced software technologies in the domain of machine perception, machine learning/deep learning based object and scene understanding (e.g., detection, segmentation, recognition) from 2D and/or 3D data
  • Solve challenging problems in the domain of SLAM, tracking, 3D reconstruction, localization, calibration automation, large scale optimization, state estimation, etc.
  • Analyze and improve efficiency, accuracy, scalability and stability of currently deployed systems
  • Design and execution of algorithms
  • Prototyping, building and analysis of experimental systems
  • Collaboration with and support of other researchers across various disciplines
  • Communication of research agenda, progress and results

Minimum Qualifications

  • Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in the field of Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robotics, Physics or related field
  • Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
