About the role#
Meta Superintelligence Labs is looking for a Research Scientist Intern to join our team in Menlo Park. You will work on fundamental and applied research to advance embodied artificial intelligence. This role involves creating new ways for agents to interact with the world and developing systems that bridge the gap between simulation and real-world robotics. Internships last between 12 and 24 weeks.
What you'll do#
- Perform research to push the frontiers of embodied AI.
- Collaborate with scientists and engineers to design and implement AI algorithms.
- Invent and improve data-driven paradigms for robotics using images, video, text, audio, and tactile data.
- Investigate behaviors ranging from simulated characters to real robots, and from low-level control to high-level intelligence.
- Develop algorithms using machine learning and neural network methodologies.
- Build and benchmark new capabilities for the next generation of AI.
- Define and work toward long-term research goals while identifying intermediate milestones.
What you'll need#
- Current enrollment in or pursuit of a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or a related STEM field.
- Experience in areas such as motion planning, sim-to-real transfer, reinforcement learning, dexterous manipulation, or vision-language models.
- Proficiency with machine learning frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Experience working and communicating in cross-functional, cross-cultural team environments.
- Ability to obtain and maintain work authorization in the United States.
- A track record of research results as demonstrated by papers in top conferences like NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ICRA, IROS, RSS, CoRL, CVPR, ICCV, or ECCV.
- At least 1 year of experience in robotics or an advanced degree with equivalent experience.
- Experience designing robotic systems, platforms, or infrastructure.
- Ability to analyze complex, high-dimensionality data from various sources.
- Experience solving problems by comparing alternative solutions and trade-offs.
- Intent to return to your degree program after the internship.
Location & details#
- Location: Menlo Park, California.
- Modality: On-site.
- Employment: Full-time internship.
- Term: Rolling start dates.
