About the role#
As a Research Scientist Intern, you will join the Surreal Vision group at Reality Labs Research. You will work on egocentric machine perception to help build contextual AI and robotics. This role involves tackling research challenges at the intersection of computer vision and natural language to contribute to intelligent systems.
What you'll do#
- Plan and execute research to advance machine learning and large-scale training.
- Collaborate with researchers and engineers to develop experiments, prototypes, and concepts for contextual AI and robotic systems.
- Design, set up, and run practical experiments related to high-quality sensing and machine reasoning.
- Develop unified predictive models that integrate language, vision, human motion, and actions.
- Investigate techniques for long-horizon, consistent, and physically grounded generation.
- Benchmark models against current approaches in world modeling, video generation, and vision-language-action models.
- Use multimodal generation to help accelerate robot learning and control.
- Build contextual and embodied AI models using large-scale egocentric multimodal datasets.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in or pursuit of a PhD in Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, 3D Machine Perception, Deep Learning, or a related field.
- Knowledge of deep learning, computer vision, graphics, generative modeling, LLMs, and VLMs.
- Hands-on experience implementing deep learning algorithms, large-scale training, benchmarking, and evaluation.
- Proficiency in Python, PyTorch, and Unix environments.
- A proven track record of research results, such as patents, grants, or first-authored publications at conferences like CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, SIGGRAPH, ICLR, or NeurIPS.
- Demonstrated software engineering experience through internships, work, coding competitions, or open-source contributions.
- Experience communicating and working cross-functionally in a team.
- An intent to return to your degree program after the internship.
- Ability to obtain and maintain work authorization in the country of employment.
Location & details#
- Locations: Sunnyvale, California or Redmond, Washington.
- Work Modality: On-site.
- Term: Rolling, with durations between 12 and 24 weeks.
- Employment: Full-time paid internship.
