Research Engineer, Language - Wearables Voice AI

As a Research Engineer in Wearables Voice AI, you will have the opportunity to perform innovative 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 Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) orgs to produce high-performance research and results.

Responsibilities

• Apply relevant AI and machine learning techniques to build speech/LLM technology that will improve Meta Wearables products and experiences
• Develop novel, accurate AI algorithms and advanced systems for large scale applications
• Directly contribute to experiments, including designing experimental details, developing reusable code, running evaluations, and organizing results
• Work with large data, and contribute to development of large scale foundation models
• Design methods, tools, and infrastructure to push forward the capabilities and performance in large language models
