Summary:
Reality Labs (RL) focuses on delivering Meta's vision through AI-first devices that leverage Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Mixed and Augmented Reality require custom silicon. Reality Labs Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with highly integrated SoCs that leverage breakthrough work in computer vision, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body. Our chips will enable AR & MR devices that blend our real and virtual worlds throughout the day. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistors, through architecture, firmware, and algorithms.We are seeking Performance Architecture Interns with a background in Performance Modeling, Performance Simulation Methodologies, and/or Computer Architecture to improve our performance modeling collateral and use those models to guide the architecture of AR/MR silicon.Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks long.
