About the role#
As a Research Scientist Intern, you will work at the intersection of robotic control, machine learning, and human-robot interaction. You will join Reality Labs Research to focus on developing computer vision and tactile-based algorithms for robotic control learning in dextrous manipulation tasks. You will collaborate with researchers and mentors on projects that explore interfaces for virtual, augmented, and mixed reality.
What you'll do#
- Conduct collaborative research on developing computer vision and tactile-based algorithms for human and robotics data.
- Build robotic data pipelines for dextrous manipulation, train models, and benchmark different algorithms.
- Communicate research plans, progress, and results to cross-functional partners.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in a Ph.D. program in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, or a relevant technical field.
- Experience in computer vision, including 3D reconstruction, hand pose estimation, or object pose estimation.
- Knowledge of robotic manipulation control policies and experience with physics-based simulators like Mujoco.
- Proficiency in Python and frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX.
- Ability to obtain and maintain work authorization in the United States.
- Intent to return to your degree program after the internship.
- Availability for a minimum of 16 consecutive weeks.
- Preferred: A track record of research results through grants, patents, or first-authored publications in relevant conferences.
- Preferred: Experience with multimodal learning, robot manipulation, and building pipelines with foundation computer vision models like CLIP, DinoV2, or SAM2.
Location & details#
- Location: Burlingame, California.
- Modality: On-site.
- Compensation: $7,650 to $12,667 per month.
- Term: Rolling start dates with a minimum commitment of 16 consecutive weeks.
