Computer Vision Engineer Intern, Advanced Manufacturing (Reality Labs)

Summary:

The Reality Labs Prototyping team builds the physical hardware behind Meta's XR and wearables research: CNC-machined, 3D-printed and molded parts, made in-house on fast turnarounds. We're looking for a computer vision intern to bring perception into the lab. That means catching defects before parts ship, confirming a part matches its CAD model, spotting trouble on a machine before it crashes, and giving the team a live view of the shop floor. You'll work with manufacturing engineers, machinists and software engineers, and your work will run on real machines and real parts.

Required Skills:

Computer Vision Engineer Intern, Advanced Manufacturing (Reality Labs) Responsibilities:

• Build and train models that detect anomalies and defects in machined and printed parts from camera images.
• Develop methods that match captured images or 3D scans of physical parts to their source CAD models, to identify parts and compare what was built against what was designed.
• Prototype camera monitoring for CNC machines and 3D printers that catches setup errors, tool or fixture collisions and failing prints early enough to stop the machine.
• Deploy and maintain networked camera systems across the lab, covering capture, storage and the pipeline from camera to model.
• Build tools that generate and augment training data, including synthetic images rendered from CAD and automated capture rigs.
• Measure how the models perform on real lab data and share the results with the team.

Minimum Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics or a related field
• Computer vision or deep learning experience from coursework, research or projects (detection, segmentation, anomaly detection, pose estimation)
• Experience programming in Python with a deep learning framework such as PyTorch
• Experience with image processing libraries such as OpenCV
• Intent to return to a degree program after the internship
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment

Preferred Qualifications:

Preferred Qualifications:

• 3D vision experience: point clouds, depth cameras, multi-view geometry, or aligning scans to CAD models
• Experience deploying cameras on a network (IP cameras, RTSP streams, edge devices such as NVIDIA Jetson) or running models in real time
• Experience generating synthetic training data (Blender, rendering from CAD, domain randomization)
• Experience with anomaly detection when there are few or no examples of defects
• Projects in industrial inspection, robotics or machine monitoring
• Comfortable working across disciplines, including hands-on with machinists on a shop floor
• Familiarity with CAD tools (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, NX) and 3D file formats such as STEP and STL

Public Compensation:

$6,688/month to $11,880/month + benefits
