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. Optics & Display Research (O&DR) is looking for an Optical Scientist with passion for innovation in novel near-eye display technology to join our team. Our team mission is to identify, execute and mature immersive augmented reality (AR) display technology concepts towards beyond-state-of-the-art near eye displays for consumer devices at our R&D facilities. We are looking for a candidate with experience in optical design, fabrication, and metrology for novel photonic devices (Example: waveguide combiners, metastructures, etc). You will collaborate with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers, designers and engineers to further our understanding of AR displays. Your focus will be design validation for waveguide combiners ensuring that the combiner performance achieves the desired functionality in the final product. You will be holistically evaluating the combiner-based display encompassing multiple interdependent modules including the light engine, eyepiece optics, human vision, graphics pipeline in order to identify high-level technology risks, and effectively collaborate across areas of expertise in order to achieve an acceptable display. You will receive full support from the management and leadership team to grow your technical skills.
