Research Engineer, Robotics & Embodied AI

Job description

Meta Reality Labs Research (RL Research) is a team of researchers and engineers pushing the frontier of AI, robotics, and AR/VR technology. Within RL Research, our team is building the next generation of foundation models (VLAs, WAMs) for robotic manipulation. We are looking for a skilled Research Engineer to take those models onto real hardware in our lab. This role covers the full robotics stack: hardware bring-up, teleoperation, data collection, and running learned policies on real robots. It involves building prototypes together with research scientists and engineers, running the experiments that show whether they work, and finding the problems that only appear once a model has to act in the physical world.
