Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
General knowledge of optics including imaging, illumination, radiometry and colorimetry, physical and geometric optics, and polarization.
Description（岗位职责）
Design optical components for next-generation AR/VR displays, with an emphasis on application and development of novel optimization and simulation methods. This will involve formulating optical design as a large scale optimization problem and applying or adapting internal capabilities to find solutions.
Collaborate with optics researchers and engineers to identify opportunities for novel designs, relevant design constraints, and suitable optimization methods.
Collaborate with AI researchers to evaluate and scale emerging design methods that address critical needs in AR/VR.
Additional Requirements（额外要求）
Experience working and communicating cross-functionally in a team environment.
Experience with mathematical and practical aspects of integrated photonics, optical metamaterials, nanophotonics, semiconductor physics, or similar fields.
Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as OSA, SPIE, IEEE, SIGGRAPH, COSI, and SID.
Experience with optical simulation algorithms such as FDTD, RCWA, or DGTD, and commercial or open-source simulators such as Lumerical and Meep.
Demonstrated software engineer experience via an internship, work experience, coding competitions, or widely used contributions in open source repositories (e.g. GitHub).
