Asic Engineer Intern, On-Device Contextual AI on Orion and Next Gen AR Glasses

Our team, within Reality Labs at Meta, brings novel experiences to life on Meta’s AR devices, e.g. Orion. We were closely involved in the development of multimodal Meta AI on Orion, and we are currently working on the next gen AR glasses.

We are looking for upcoming engineers with great interest in embedded software development and hardware acceleration to enable on-device contextual AI within the performance, power and form-factor constraints of AR glasses.

Within the vast domain of contextual AI, we are currently focussing on three key areas: computer vision, audio interaction, and large language models. As an ASIC engineer intern, you will help us advance the SOTA in one or more of these areas.

Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks long.” at the bottom of the description above the responsibilities sectionAsic Engineer Intern, On-Device Contextual AI on Orion and Next Gen AR Glasses Responsibilities
