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. 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. 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.

Join the Display Systems Research (DSR) team, whose work spans next-generation VR headsets, new types of computational displays, complex experimental systems, and AI-driven graphics. We are seeking a scientist to work at the intersection of basic and applied science. Members of our team have the opportunity to collaborate with academic institutions and publish their work. Projects can be studied with a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach thanks to internal resources in mechanical, electrical, optical, and software engineering.

We are currently seeking a Research Scientist with a passion for technology to help develop next-generation optical components for world-leading AR/VR technologies. The focus of this role is on the exploration and development of novel components (such as micro-optical, nano-optical, electro-optical, or electro-mechanical components) that will enable new optical architectures. This scientist will take a lead role bridging between an exploratory system prototyping team and other specialty teams at Meta, as well as external vendors. This role requires experience in optics, device modeling, fabrication, system prototyping and metrology and an eagerness to explore new and technologies and skills.
