The Generatlve AI Org at Meta builds industry leading LLM Foundation models to enable many Meta products and open source. As an Applied Research Scientist in Generative AI, you have the opportunity to help push state of the art research, build industry leading foundation models, and bring them to products to impact billions of users. GenAI Audio 's mission is to build industry leading Speech & Audio foundation models, to enable Meta products. Our current focus is on controllable generative speech synthesis, to give our AI agents human-like voices. The current status: We have built a Speech foundation model that is capable of generating high quality voice given 10 - 20 seconds of target speaker voice, and can support deep cloning with 30 - 60 minutes voices.

Independently design and implement algorithms, train state of the art speech recognition models on large data, and evaluate their performance.

Perform research to tackle unsolved real-world problems and push state of the art speech recognition.

Develop machine learning models for both server-based and embedded systems.

Contribute research that can be applied to Meta product development.
