Optical Engineer
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 looking for a candidate to join a growing Optical and Mechanical Systems Team as an Optical Engineer to help unlock future AR/VR display technologies.
As part of the Hardware Research organization at Reality Labs, you will be responsible for leading the generation of new optical system concepts, designing prototypes, and characterization of optical performance for research projects.
You will have the opportunity to be part of a team composed of some of the best engineers, scientists and leaders defining the field of AR/VR.
Optical Engineer ResponsibilitiesConceptualize and lead the design of new prototype optical systems and components such as:
projectors, illumination sources, imaging systems, interferometry systems, laser systems, and physical optics.
Design custom lenses and optical subsystems with ray tracing software, including lens elements, multi-lens systems, and other optical components.
Establish optical engineering specifications, including key performance metrics, optical manufacturing tolerances, and test requirements for optical subsystems and components.
Lead development of custom metrology and measurement systems.
Drive collaboration and resources with internal cross functional teams and external industry partneMinimum QualificationsBS in Engineering, Physics, Optics or equivalent work experience.
9
years of experience in designing optical systems and componentsExperience using optical design software such as Zemax or Code V.
Experience working in a lab environment with optical systems and lasers.
Experience with hands-on assembly, alignment, integration, and testing of optical components and optical systems.
Experience in optical tolerance analysis, including mechanical positional tolerances and defining lens manufacturing tolerances.
