Research Engineer - Computer Vision & Machine Learning

Welcome to the Surreal team in Reality Labs Research! Our team is dedicated to advancing the state-of-the-art in computer vision, machine perception, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. We are a diverse group of researchers, engineers, and technologists who work together to develop cutting-edge technology that pushes the boundaries of what is possible.

One of our flagship projects is the Aria device, which is a wearable device that enables us to collect data about the world around us. With Aria, we can gather information about the environment, people, and objects, and use this data to develop new algorithms and models for machine perception and advance artificial intelligence research.

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to work on exciting projects that have the potential to make a real impact on the world. Whether you are interested in developing new algorithms for object recognition, creating novel approaches to scene understanding, or exploring the intersection of machine learning and robotics, there is something here for everyone.

We are looking for talented individuals who are passionate about computer vision, machine perception, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. If you are excited about the prospect of working on cutting-edge technology and making a difference in the world, then we encourage you to apply to join our team.Research Engineer - Computer Vision & Machine Learning Responsibilities

LocationsAbout Meta Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics. Meta is committed to providing reasonable support (called accommodations) in our recruiting processes for candidates with disabilities, long term conditions, mental health conditions or sincerely held religious beliefs, or who are neurodivergent or require pregnancy-related support. If you need support, please reach out to accommodations-ext@fb.com. $117,000/year to $173,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits
