[Remote] Research Scientist Intern, Multimodal Learning for Robotics (PhD)

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Meta is a technology company focused on building immersive experiences through augmented and virtual reality. As a Research Scientist Intern, you will engage in research on robotic control and machine learning, developing algorithms for dextrous manipulation tasks.

Responsibilities

• Conduct collaborative research on developing CV and tactile based algorithms for both human and robotics data
• Develop robotic data pipelines for robotic dextrous manipulation, train models, and benchmark different algorithms
• Collaborate with researchers and cross-functional partners including communicating research plans, progress, and results

Skills

• Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, or relevant technical field
• Experience in computer vision, with active contributions in at least one subdomain (3D reconstruction, hand pose estimation, object pose estimation) and strong familiarity across all
• Understand state of the art in robotic manipulation control policies, with experience in physics based simulators like Mujoco
• Experience with Python, PyTorch or JAX, or other related languages
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
• Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as Robotics (RSS, ICRA, IROS, CoRL, T-RO, IJRR), Machine Learning (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI, JMLR), and Computer Vision (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, TPAMI), or similar
• Experience with multimodal learning including but not limited to tactile data
• Experience working with robot manipulation
• Experience with building pipelines with foundation CV models, for example, CLIP, DinoV2 or SAM2
• Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment
• Intent to return to the degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op
• Availability for minimum 16 consecutive week internship
