Reality Labs (RL) teams bring together a world-class R&D team of researchers, and engineers to build innovative photo, video, and AR/VR experiences. We work on technologies that ship across all Meta surfaces ranging from Facebook to Instagram to the AR/VR Oculus products. We work at the intersection of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and Machine Learning. The aim of this role is to develop and advance the state-of-the-art in computational photography. The goal of the internship is to contribute to a research project and contribute to new methodologies that can be experienced by billions of people around the globe.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
