Summary:
Meta Reality Labs brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect. At Meta's Reality Labs Research, our goal is to make world-class consumer virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. Come work alongside industry-leading scientists and engineers to create the technology that makes MR and AR pervasive and universal. Join the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world. The Optics, Photonics, and Light Systems (OPALS) Research Team is looking for a Research Scientist with a proven track record for innovation and scientific rigor in the characterization of optics and optical materials. Our team mission is to innovate and prototype immersive augmented reality (AR) display technology concepts towards beyond-state-of-the-art near eye displays for consumer devices. You will also have cross-functional duties with materials development, systems engineering, integration, design, and opto-mechanical teams for custom optical system tool development as well as facilitating the development of test plans for various leading-edge optical device concepts. You will join a highly cross-functional team tasked with concept innovation, design, development, and prototyping of optical components to support future AR optics productization. This role requires close collaboration with internal cross functional partners and external vendors to define and deliver complex solutions to support process development, quality control and performance optimization. You will receive full support from the management and leadership team to grow your technical skills.
Required Skills:
