Role summary

Meta Superintelligence Labs is seeking a Visiting Researcher to conduct fundamental and applied research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and embodied AI. The role involves inventing and improving data-driven paradigms for robotics, developing algorithms using state-of-the-art machine learning and neural networks, and building new capabilities for AI. Key research areas include transfer learning, reinforcement learning, action-conditioned world models, perception, representation learning, robot control, navigation, manipulation, and vision-language models. The goal is to advance embodied AI and produce open science contributions.

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
  • 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 with robotics frameworks like ROS, along with experience working with robot simulations and real-world hardware
  • Experience building systems based on machine learning and/or deep learning methods
  • Experience working and communicating cross-functionally in a team environment
  • Experience with manipulating and analyzing complex, large-scale, high-dimensionality data from varying sources
  • 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
  • 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
