AI Research Scientist — Agentic AI for Materials Discovery

This role sits within Meta's Reality Labs Research, in the Material and Systems Innovation team, which develops advanced materials for two of Meta's most ambitious hardware frontiers: lightweight, all-day wearable AR glasses and next-generation sensing and actuating materials for robotics. The AI Specialist will design and build LLM-orchestrated multi-agent systems that autonomously drive materials discovery pipelines — from computational screening and simulation through synthesis and characterization — across both domains. By closing this loop with agentic AI, we aim to compress discovery timelines from years to weeks, directly accelerating Meta's ability to ship breakthrough AR/VR and robotics hardware. This position bridges two of Meta's highest-priority investment areas — frontier AI and the physical systems underpinning the metaverse and embodied intelligence — and will contribute both production systems and published research at top-tier venues.
