Meta Reality Labs is looking for PhD-level interns to join our world-class team advancing imaging and computer vision technology for the next generation of AR/VR systems. In this role, you will work on cutting-edge research and development of novel algorithms, architectures, and tools to solve real-world problems in imaging and computer vision that integrate with specialized hardware. As a Research Scientist Intern, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams of researchers, engineers, and hardware specialists to design, prototype, and optimize innovative computer vision models and algorithms. You will play a key role in evaluating image and video quality, pushing the boundaries of machine learning models, and developing techniques that interact seamlessly with custom hardware to drive state-of-the-art performance. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long, and we have various start dates throughout the year.
Research Scientist Intern, Imaging and Computer Vision (PhD) Responsibilities
- Develop novel algorithms for image processing, computer vision, and multimodal data fusion.
- Design and prototype new architectures for real-time image and video processing in AR/VR systems.
- Develop machine learning models that interact efficiently with specialized imaging hardware, optimizing for performance, energy efficiency, and scalability.
- Perform image and video quality evaluations using both objective and subjective methods.
- Build new tools and workflows for evaluating and improving visual quality and computational efficiency of vision systems.
- Collaborate with hardware teams to co-design algorithms that leverage specialized accelerators or custom silicon for optimized performance.
- Conduct cutting-edge research to publish at top-tier conferences and workshops in imaging, computer vision, and machine learning.
- Communicate results and progress to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Minimum Qualifications
- Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, machine learning, computer vision or related field.
- Experience in developing and implementing advanced algorithms for imaging, computer vision, or machine learning applications.
- Experience in Python and/or MATLAB, and C++.
- Familiarity with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or other related tools.
- Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship/co-op.
- Proven track record of achieving significant results, as demonstrated by first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences in imaging, computer vision, or machine learning (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML).
- Experience with designing computer vision algorithms optimized for specialized hardware such as GPUs, DSPs, or custom ASICs.
- Strong understanding of image and video quality metrics and evaluation methodologies.
- Experience with software-hardware co-design and developing models that interact with low-level system components
- Ability to design new tools for data processing, visualization, and performance evaluation.
- Familiarity with state-of-the-art techniques in computational imaging, video compression, 3D reconstruction, or AR/VR applications.
- Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment

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.
