Job Description

Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started.

Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) focuses on delivering Facebook's vision through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The FRL team is driving the state of the art forward with breakthrough work in computer vision, speech, virtual assistant, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body among many others.

The On-Device AI Research team in FRL brings together a world class team of researchers working on a range of problems in Image/Video processing, 3D Reconstruction and Real-time Graphics using Deep Learning. Our work is at the core of enabling future AR and VR products. We are seeking exceptional interns with a background in Deep Learning for Real Time Graphics to join our team.

For this position, research focus is on novel graphics pipelines that implement algorithms for scene reconstruction, differentiable and inverse rendering, and machine learning-based image synthesis. You will get exposure to the full stack, from algorithms down to how these algorithms map to the target device. You will work with the research mentors to understand the challenges and build state-of-the-art networks to tackle them and then work with the software/hardware team to deploy these solutions on-device. Our internships are twelve (12) or sixteen (16) weeks long.

Responsibilities

• Research and develop novel Deep Learning based methods in the area of Real Time Graphics for Augmented and Virtual Reality Devices.
• Prototype the techniques to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy within the constraints of on-device and real-time execution.
• Collaborate with other research scientists and software engineers to develop innovative deep learning techniques for Lightfield Rendering, Spatio-temporal Reconstruction, etc.
• Present the outcomes of the research findings as papers in top tier conferences in the area of Computer Graphics.
  

Minimum Qualification

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD degree in Computer Science, Statistics or related field.
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
• 2+ years experience or equivalent graduate research experience in developing machine learning solutions for Computer Graphics, Neural Rendering, Lightfields, etc.
  

Preferred Qualification

• Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship/co-op.
• Proven track record in publishing papers in machine learning and/or computer vision conferences such as SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH-Asia, CVPR, etc.
• Interpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration.
