AI Research Scientist, Robotics
Meta • Oklahoma City, OK • Posted July 01, 2026
About the Role
**Summary:**
This is a unique opportunity to join a full-stack robotics R&D group where your work will influence materials, sensors, actuators, low-level control, and foundation models for robot learning. The ideal Research Scientist candidate will leverage their practical expertise in robot foundation models, tactile sensing, multimodal learning, and robotics systems to innovate on full-stack systems. This role requires a systems-oriented researcher who can drive technical direction, define strategy for scaling tactile data, and influence how foundation models are built for robotics. You will work in an applied research team and collaborate with robotics researchers, ML engineers, and a wide range of scientists across the organization.
**Required Skills:**
