Computer Vision Engineer

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., * 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

• 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

Preferred Qualifications:

• 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
• Publication track record at conferences such as CVPR, NeurIPS, ECCV, ICCV, ICML
