Meta Reality Labs (RL) is the world leader in the design of virtual and augmented reality systems. The RL Silicon Research Team is looking for exceptional interns to help us create the next-generation experiences in virtual and augmented reality. Our Silicon research and development focuses on exploring new circuit design techniques, architectures and technologies for future AR products. We are looking for students interested in architecting custom or semi-custom hardware to implement speech and voice detection models that maximize performance under fixed power and resource constraints. The ideal candidate will have a full stack understanding of machine learning systems from architecture down to hardware implementation and technology. Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
