This job posting has expired and no longer accepting applications.

The Meta Reality Labs Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including computer vision, graphics, body tracking, robotics, perception science, and true telepresence. The Virtual Humans team in Sausalito, CA, Redmond, WA and Zurich, CF work on cutting-edge research and development focusing on virtual people and robotics. We are currently seeking innovative interns with a passion for technology to develop the next generation of virtual humans and robotics. Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16) to twenty four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year. Research Topics: * Physics-based simulation for body, cloth and hair * Physics-based simulation for robotics and interactions with deformable objects * Deformable object modeling, volumetric representation * Non-rigid registration * Differentiable simulation * Applied machine learning

Investigate, design and develop novel algorithms in areas such as full body, cloth and hair modeling, simulation and animation, surface and volumetric reconstructions, for avatars, digital humans, virtual try-on applications and robotics applications for soft-body interactions

Prototyping, building and analysis of experimental systems

Design and execution of algorithms

Collaboration with and support of other researchers across various disciplines

Communication of research agenda, progress and results

Minimum Qualifications

Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a PhD in Computer Vision, Graphics, Machine Learning, Robotics, or related field

Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

Interpersonal skills: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration

Experience with computer vision, 3D geometry, character animation and/or linear algebra

2+ years of experience with C, C++, and/or Python

Preferred Qualifications

Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship

2+ years of experience with one or more of the following areas: developing models for physics-based simulation, 3D geometry reconstruction, robotics, non-rigid deformation, shape representation, numerical optimization, deep learning

Proven track record of achieving results as demonstrated in accepted papers at top computer vision, graphics, machine learning or robotics related journals and conferences such as SIGGRAPH, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, etc

About 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.
