Description
The XR Audio team at Meta is helping people around the world come together and connect through world-class Augmented and Virtual Reality hardware and software. We are developing the future of AR and VR, bringing products to consumers that transform entertainment and social experiences. These roles are focused on developing the next generation of speech and audio enhancement algorithms for wearables in various acoustic environments. Our team is a multi-disciplinary group with expertise in digital signal processing, machine learning, wireless systems, software architecture and distributed systems, and simulation/modeling, sound synthesis, music, audio and speech compression, and much more. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
Research Scientist Intern, Audio (PhD) Responsibilities
  • Research, model, design, develop and test novel audio and speech processing algorithms using a combination of machine learning and signal processing to tackle unsolved real-world problems and push the state of the art in audio and advance AR/VR experiences
  • Lead and contribute to cutting-edge AI model research that leads to publications on top-tier Audio/ML conferences
  • Independently design and implement algorithms, train advanced AI models on large datasets, and evaluate their performance
  • Develop novel deep learning 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 audio use-cases
  • Communicate the experimental results and the recommendations clearly, both within the group as well as to the cross-functional groups
Minimum Qualifications
  • Currently is in the process of obtaining a PhD in the field of Artificial Intelligence or related field
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
  • Research experience in one or more of these areas: machine learning, deep learning, audio/speech processing, ML model compression, or related fields
  • Experience building novel computational models in audio or speech application domains using machine learning and/or signal processing
  • Experience with Python/shell scripts/Matlab/C/C++ or similar
  • Experience working with machine learning libraries such as Pytorch, Tensorflow
Preferred Qualifications
  • Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship
  • Proven track record of publications at ICASSP, Interspeech, WASPAA, IWAENC, IEEE TASLP, Neurips or similar
  • Demonstrated software engineer experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. Github)
  • Experience solving complex problems and comparing alternative solutions, trade offs, and diverse points of view to determine a path forward
  • Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment
  • Strong background in one or more areas in Machine Learning such as: 1) Experience with developing scalable machine learning models that can evolve with newer device generations with minimal additional data, 2) Experience with techniques for model compression and/or deploying ML models on MIPS/Memory/Power constrained devices, 3) Experience with large scale model training, implementing algorithms, and evaluating performance with objective or subjective audio metrics
  • Deep subject matter expertise in one or more areas in speech/audio signal processing such as: 1) Audio playback signal processing algorithms (such as compressors, limiters, EQs), 2) Adaptive system identification, noise reduction, sound source localization, beamforming, adaptive filters (such as echo/feedback cancellation), 3) Spatial audio and room acoustics

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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
