Research Intern - Machine Learning Acceleration (PhD)
Sunnyvale, CA
Meta
Giving people the power to build community and bring the world closer together
Reality Labs (RL) focuses on delivering Meta’s vision through Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Virtual and Augmented Reality require custom silicon. Meta Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with breakthrough work in computer vision, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body. Our chips will enable AR and VR devices where our real and virtual world will mix and match throughout the day. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistor, through architecture, to firmware and algorithms.
You will use your background in Digital IC design and Machine Learning to enable efficient hardware acceleration of ML algorithms for Computer Vision, Image Processing, and new AI models in AR and VR devices. You will also have an unique opportunity to optimize production systems, by using AI to improve quality and efficiency of silicon design, as well as help future-proof our silicon and software, by proactively understanding state of the art research and develop hardware or software solutions to mitigate inefficiencies. To be successful in this role, you should possess strong software development skills, familiarity with ML algorithms and framework/toolchains and hands-on experience in software and hardware co-design, especially in the context of ML.
Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long, and we have various start dates throughout the year.Research Intern - Machine Learning Acceleration (PhD) Responsibilities
