META
Summary:
Join Reality Labs on an exciting journey to pioneer cutting-edge virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. Collaborate with top scientists and engineers to develop technology that transforms science fiction into reality. Our Optics, Photonics, and Light Systems (OPALS) Research group is seeking a passionate Optical Scientist dedicated to innovation in next-generation near-eye display technology. Your mission will be to envision, design, and model advanced combiner components and systems essential for future Augmented Reality display architectures.
Required Skills:
As an Optical Design Research Scientist, your responsibilities will include:
Optical design and modeling of critical component technology for near-eye display combiners.
Collaborating with diverse teams across domains such as Computation, Optics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Process Development, and Integration to explore innovative combiner designs.
Minimum Qualifications: To be considered for this role, you must meet the following criteria: Currently holds, or is in the process of obtaining, a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field. This degree must be completed prior to joining Meta.
Currently holds, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in optical sciences, physics, electrical engineering, or a related area. This degree must be completed prior to joining Meta.
At least 1 year of experience in optical design using software such as Lumerical, Virtual Lab, FRED, LightTools, Zemax, or CODE V.
1+ year of experience with scientific programming and data analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Pytorch, C++, etc.).
1+ year of experience in light propagation methods in wave and ray domains, as well as mixed models.
1+ year of experience with electromagnetic modeling of nanoscale structures, metagratings, anisotropic materials, films, or holographic elements.
Preferred Qualifications: The ideal candidate will have the following qualifications: 2+ years of experience in the design and modeling of diffractive/holographic waveguide-based near-to-eye display systems with coherent and incoherent light sources.
2+ years of experience working with electromagnetic theory, modeling optical structures, and developing software tools for simulation on distributed systems and parallel computing infrastructure.
2+ years of experience in utilizing machine learning or deep neural networks for novel nano-optics inverse design.
2+ years of experience in the design, fabrication, and testing of novel optical structures including metastructures, holographic elements, and beam steering elements.
2+ years of experience using optical metrology tools, such as interferometry, image quality testing, and polarization testing.
