We are looking for a Applied Research Scientist to join the Meta AI Speech team. The AI Speech team creates spoken language technology to make it faster and easier for people to build community and connect with others around the world. Our mission is to conduct product-motivated research in ML/AI and design, develop and deploy state of the art models to the rest of Meta. We work in all aspects of AI for speech and audio processing, including speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker identification, keyword spotting, and acoustic event detection. Our work is largely focused on the areas of voice interfaces, including speech technologies for RayBan Meta, Oculus VR headsets, the Metaverse, Family of Apps (Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp etc) and video understanding, including transcription, captioning, and content understanding. As a Applied Research Scientist, you will help us develop innovative models and algorithms and apply them to large-scale production speech tasks. We are looking for a research scientist with a focus on automatic speech recognition. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in automatic speech recognition, end-to-end ASR, acoustic modeling, machine learning, or related areas, and have a passion for speech technology and voice interfaces.

Knowledge of deep learning and neural networks.

Familiar with scripting languages such as Python and shell scripts.

Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.

Preferred Qualifications

* Experience with developing scalable machine learning models in at least one of the following areas: automatic speech recognition, end-to-end ASR, unsupervised/semi-supervised training, on-device modeling, acoustic modeling, or relevant areas.



Experience with developing machine learning models for both server-based and embedded solutions.

Experience with large scale model training, implementing algorithms, and evaluating ASR systems.

Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by publications at leading workshops, journals or conferences such as ICASSP, INTERSPEECH, or similar.

Experience taking ideas from research to production.

Experience solving complex problems and comparing alternative solutions, tradeoffs, and diverse points of view to determine a path forward.

Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment.
