Summary（岗位介绍）
Meta 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.
Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Optical Science, Optical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computational Imaging, or relevant technical field.
Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
2+ years experience in at least one of the following areas of optical research: wave optics, polarization optics, diffraction optics, or geometrical optics, metasurface, computational EM, emphasizing modeling and/or prototyping.
2+ years experience with scientific programming languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python, and Mathematica).
Description（岗位职责）
Collaborate with researchers and cross-functional partners including communicating research plans, progress, and results.
Publish research results and contribute to research that can be applied to Meta product development.
Develop next generation AR Eye Tracking Solutions with an emphasis on advanced simulations to prove new concepts and understand the performance of those concepts.
Collaborate with larger Meta RLR team to explore novel solution space for eye tracking.
This position will have an emphasis on advanced simulations to prove new concepts. Specifically, optical design and modeling of eye tracking imaging and illumination.
Additional Requirements（额外要求）
Intent to return to degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op.
Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment.
2+ years experience with optical design programs such as Zemax OpticStudio, Virtual Lab, Code V, LightTools, FRED, Lumerical, or similar.
