Summary（岗位介绍）
At Meta’s Reality Labs Research, our goal is to make world-class consumer virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. Come work alongside industry-leading scientists and engineers to create the technology that makes VR and AR pervasive and universal. Join the adventure of a lifetime as we make science fiction real and change the world. We are currently seeking innovative scientists with experience designing, modeling, and prototyping advanced optical systems for near-to-eye display applications. This is a full-time position and requires an advanced degree in optical engineering, physics, or similar, and a strong background in optical system design and innovation. Successful candidates must be comfortable working in a dynamic cross-functional team.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta.

Description（岗位职责）
Develop novel concepts and technologies for next generation Near-Eye Displays (NEDs) and sensors.
Explore the co-design space between display, optics, and sensors.
Implement proof-of-concept hardware prototypes that redefine the state-of-the-art in AR/MR.
Engage cross-functionally with researchers and engineers to explore innovative concepts that advance the entire pipeline (hardware, software, integration, infrastructure, and applications), and create compelling future AR/MR experiences.
Additional Requirements（额外要求）
Experience with diffractive optics, holography, or computational optics.
Experience with display and sensing components, such as near-eye displays and sensors.
Experience developing complex systems involving optics, mechanics, and automation.
Knowledge of one or more optical modeling tools (e.g., Zemax, Code V, LightTools, FRED, or Lumerical).
Proven track record of achieving results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at workshops or conferences (e.g., OSA, SPIE, IEEE, SIGGRAPH, COSI, and SID).
Experience developing prototypes and collaborating in a team environment across a diverse set of disciplines including Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, and Optics.
