Meta Health Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Meta is seeking a Visiting Researcher to join Meta Superintelligence Labs. Individuals in this role are proficient in identified research areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and embodied AI, particularly including areas such as transfer learning, learning from demonstration, reinforcement learning, action-conditioned world models, perception, representation learning, robot control, navigation, mobile manipulation, dexterous manipulation, and vision-language models. You should have a keen interest in producing new, open science to make embodied agents more intelligent.
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
• Build and benchmark new capabilities needed for the next generation of AI
• Conduct research towards long-term research goals while identifying intermediate milestones
• Execute on novel research based on long-term objectives of the organization
Minimum Qualifications
• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta
• 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
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
Preferred Qualifications
• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Master's or PhD degree in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Language, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Experience with deep learning frameworks (such as PyTorch, TensorFlow) and Python
• Demonstrated research and software engineering experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub)
• Experience building systems based on machine learning and/or deep learning methods
• 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
• Experience working and communicating cross-functionally in a team environment
• Experience with manipulating and analyzing complex, large-scale, high-dimensionality data from varying sources
• Experience with robotics frameworks like ROS, along with experience working with robot simulations and real-world hardware
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.
