As a Research Scientist in Wearables Voice AI, you will have the opportunity to perform ground-breaking research to advance the device-driven AI Assistant effort at Meta – e.g. RayBan Smart Glasses and future Wearable devices. You will build state-of-the-art LLMs to support on-device and on-server use cases, optimize for natural voice interaction, deliver knowledge-grounded, actionable, personalized AI through a unique voice user interface. You will collaborate closely with Meta GenAI and FAIR orgs to produce SOTA research and results.

AI Research Scientist, Language – Wearables Responsibilities

• Be a leader in our efforts to understand and synthesize speech, translate between languages, and/or extract intents, concepts, or other relevant features from speech and link them to downstream tasks.
• Independently design and implement algorithms, train state of the art models on large data, and optimize their performance together with our team and partners.
• Perform research to tackle unsolved real-world problems and advance state of the art research by developing internal tests and mapping them to external benchmarks.
• Develop machine learning models for both server-based and embedded systems.
• Contribute and publish research that can be applied to Meta product development.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Has PhD in the field of Artificial Intelligence, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
