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.

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.
