Meta AR/VR Job | Research Scientist, Advanced Optics Design (PhD)
Job（岗位）: Research Scientist, Advanced Optics Design (PhD)
Type（岗位类型）: Research
Citys（岗位城市）: Redmond, WA
Date（发布日期）: 2022-2-1
Summary（岗位介绍）
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. 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 interface, 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.
We are currently seeking innovative Research Scientists with experience designing and modeling advanced optical systems for near-to-eye display applications. To be successful in this role, our research scientists must be comfortable working in a dynamic, cross-functional team and have experience in optical system design and fabrication.
