Meta Reality Lab’s Codec Avatar Research team is building technology to enable immersive, photorealistic social presence. Codec Avatars are real-time live-drivable representations that match the appearance of their users. As part of the Lab’s Instant Codec Avatar group, you’ll work to scale up Codec Avatar technology by modeling the diversity of human appearance and applying that model to the process of rapidly generating new avatars. This role is primarily centered on the generation of our codec avatars from images or videos captured in real-world scenarios. This involves training large-scale universal prior models using over a billion images and videos, and then applying these models to any new image or video to swiftly generate realistic codec avatars. As part of this role, you will collaborate with a team of research scientists, research engineers, and software engineers to pioneer research in the field of digital humans. You will work with some of the largest machine learning training datasets in the world, supported by an advanced cluster of thousands of GPUs. You will be responsible for designing and conducting research experiments, contributing significantly to our mission of digitizing every individual globally using a single image or video.
