Research Scientist Intern, MSL Infra Kernels & Optimizations

Meta’s Meta SuperIntelligence Labs (MSL) Infra Kernels & Optimizations (K&O) team is looking to hire PhD Research Scientists interns in 2026 to join our Research & Development teams. Our teams’ mission is to explore, develop and help productionize high performance model, software & hardware technologies for MSL’s mission to build superintelligence. We achieve this via concurrent design and optimization of many aspects of the system from models and runtime all the way to the AI hardware, optimizing across compute, network and storage. The team invests significantly into model optimization on existing accelerator systems and guiding the future of models and AI HW at Meta. This drives improved performance as compute multipliers, new model architectures and reduces cost of ownership for all key AI services at FB: Recommendations and Generative AI. This is an exciting space that spans exploration and productionization, coupled with close collaborations with industry, academia, Meta’s Infrastructure and Product groups. Collaborating closely with TBD Labs, the team's mode of operation is going from ideation and rapid prototyping, all the way to assisting productization of high leverage ideas, working with many partner teams to bring learnings from prototype into production.
