Computer Vision Engineer Intern, Advanced Manufacturing (Reality Labs)

About the job

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.

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.
