Summary（岗位介绍）
Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities — we're just getting started.
The Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) Research Team brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of AR and VR, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today.
Our team in FRL Pittsburgh research group is looking for exceptional interns to help us explore hardware aware model optimization to pave the way for deploying real-time and low latency telepresence in virtual reality where you can be with anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Our work covers both short term verification with off-the-shelf SoC platform and long term research on custom accelerators. In our intern project, you will dive deeply into software and hardware codesign for model optimization. If you have expertise in neural network quantization and architecture optimization (for both NN model and hardware accelerator) with a solid background in computer architecture and machine learning, we expect you will find the work here highly intriguing.
Come join us as we make photorealistic telepresence in VR happen!
