Come join our team as a lead system engineer to make a significant impact on the future of AR display technologies. As part of the Display and Optics organization at Meta Reality Labs, you will be responsible for overall design and development of core optical modules for future products, and will have the opportunity to be part of a team composed of some of the best engineers, scientists and leaders defining the field of AR/VR. There will be a strong emphasis on maturing optical designs and productization of first generation optical modules, as well as working with internal and external partners to lead product development, and ensuring successful integration with the rest of the system to guarantee customer-facing performance.
Optical Systems Engineer Responsibilities
Lead the definition of hardware specifications and assess overall hardware performance through rigorous modeling, tolerance analysis and characterization. Drive critical optical module/system trade-off decisions prioritizing customer-facing requirements
Create plans for design validation, learning cycles and module builds, and manage execution for the evaluation of prototype optical systems. Track plans with internal team members and communicate with stakeholders and leadership
Collaborate with internal teams and external industry partners to develop and mature state-of-the-art technologies (e.g. optics, material, process, metrology, and design)
Influence cross-functional teams to drive the development and delivery of first generation optical systems to life
Build predictive optical models, validate designs and models with measured data to close the loop
Support module build and system integration activities at external suppliers
Support design validation, lab characterization and failure analysis of optical modules and systems
Minimum Qualifications
Experience with one or more of the following optics domains: imaging optics, lens design, illumination, radiometry and photometry, geometric or physical optics, projector design, polarization optics.
Experience with tolerance analysis of optical modules, and specification of optical tolerances for manufacturability.
Experience working with optical design software such as Zemax, CodeV or Light-tools. Experience using scripting languages and data analysis tools such Matlab, Python or JMP.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing and modeling optical systems using tools such as Zemax, Code V or others
Familiarity with display technologies such as OLEDs, LCDs, LCOS and uLEDs.
Experience with multiple full life cycle product launches.
Manufacturing and failure analysis experience for high-precision optical components and modules such as cameras, sensors, or illumination/projector systems.
