Summary:

Meta Reality Labs Research is looking for emerging scientists and researchers with interest in full software-hardware co-design of always-on algorithms being deployed on form-factor constrained AR/VR devices. The main objective of this research is to explore methods to push the boundaries of what is possible on our constrained platforms. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
