Meta's Fundamental AI Research lab is looking for a Research Scientist to advance physical AI capabilities through foundational research. The role involves software engineering, large-scale data manipulation, and simulator integration, focusing on robotic hardware, mobile vehicles, and novel semiconductors.

• Research experience in reinforcement learning, representation learning, self-supervised learning, multimodal learning, robotics policy development, computer vision (3D), egocentric perception, embodied AI, control theory, or optimization algorithms
• Experience in C/C++ and Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow)
• Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

• Explore and develop novel post-training paradigms for LLMs using reinforcement learning
• Explore and develop novel LLM post-training recipes using 3D data
• Integrate large-scale simulation into LLM post-training
• Explore mechanical, aerospace, civil, and other engineering disciplines and how to enable LLMs to solve key problems in these domains

• Employees at Meta are often offered comprehensive benefits, including medical/dental/vision coverage, mental-health resources, family planning support (fertility, adoption, surrogacy), and caregiving programs. Financial benefits typically include a competitive retirement plan, equity awards, life insurance, and access to financial coaching and legal support. Time-off benefits commonly feature generous PTO and holidays, unlimited sick time, various paid leaves, flexible “Global Travel Days,” and a 30-day paid break every five years.
