Summary（岗位介绍）

At Facebook Reality Labs (FRL), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences.

We are looking for an Optical Engineer, Design Validation with passion for creating new technology to join our team. Our team mission is to deliver beyond state-of-the-art near eye display technologies for consumer devices at our research and development facilities. We are specifically looking for a candidate with experience in optical design, nano-fabrication and metrology. In this role, you will collaborate with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers, designers and process engineers. You will be empowered to both establish the fundamental understanding of as-built physical waveguide-based-displays, to identify and rectify the source of design-to-fab performance gaps. You will receive full support from the management and leadership team to grow your technical skills.
