Meta AR/VR Job | Optical Scientist Intern, Display Optics (PhD)
Job（岗位）: Optical Scientist Intern, Display Optics (PhD)
Type（岗位类型）: Engineering | Hardware, Research
Citys（岗位城市）: Redmond, WA
Date（发布日期）: Before 2021-12-14
Summary（岗位介绍）
The Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) Research Team 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. 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. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interfaces, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. Some of those will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR that are so compelling that they become an integral part of our lives.
Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16), or twenty four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD degree in the field of Optical Science or Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Material Science, or a related field.
3+ years experience with computational, modeling or experimental aspects of geometrical optics, polarization optics, optoelectronics and photonic devices.
Demonstrated ability in optical simulations (e.g., proficiency with Zemax, Code V etc).
