Redmond, WA
At Reality Labs Research (RL-R), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are driving research towards a vision of an always-on augmented reality device that can enable high-quality contextually relevant interactions across a range of complex, dynamic, real-world tasks in natural environments; to achieve this goal, our team draws on and fundamentally advances methods and knowledge from artificial intelligence, multimodal machine learning, computer vision, and signal processing. We are looking for a skilled and motivated researcher with expertise in multimodal machine learning and large scale multimodal representation learning. More broadly, the chosen candidate will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers and will have access to cutting edge technology, resources, and testing facilities.
AI Research Scientist - Multimodal Machine Learning Responsibilities
  • Lead, collaborate, and execute on research that pushes forward the state of the art in multimodal reasoning and generation research.
  • Work collaboratively with other research scientists to develop novel solutions and models in service of contextualized AI for augmented reality.
  • Working on curation of large datasets across many modalities (e.g., vision, audio, IMU, sEMG).
  • Leading experimental design, implementation, evaluation, and reporting results to enable new capabilities for multimodal LLMs.
  • Mentor other team members. Play a significant role in healthy cross-functional collaboration.

About Meta
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 by building with us 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.
