Meta Reality Labs is seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to drive the productization of gesture recognition models for our AR/VR devices. This role bridges research and production—you'll take ML models from development through deployment, collaborating across teams to ship gesture-based interactions on Quest and Meta Glasses. This is not a pure research position; we're looking for someone who thrives at turning cutting-edge ML into real products that reach millions of users.
Job Responsibility
Own end-to-end development of gesture recognition ML models from prototyping to production deployment on AR/VR devices
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including research, hardware, product, and platform engineering to integrate models into shipping products
Optimize ML models for on-device performance, balancing accuracy, latency, and power constraints
Partner with Reality Labs Research (RL-R) to translate research breakthroughs into production-ready solutions
Define technical direction and mentor engineers on ML productization best practices
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Machine Learning, or equivalent practical experience
Experience shipping ML models to production
Background in computer vision or machine learning, with focus on areas such as gesture recognition, pose estimation, or object tracking
Experience with model optimization for edge/on-device deployment
Track record of cross-functional collaboration to deliver ML-powered features
Nice to have
Experience deploying ML models on edge devices
Experience with gesture recognition, hand tracking, or human pose estimation
Background in real-time inference, model compression, or quantization techniques
5+ years of industry experience in machine learning or computer vision
MS or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or related field
Publication track record at conferences such as CVPR, NeurIPS, ECCV, ICCV, ICML
