Optical Engineer
We're seeking an experienced Optical Engineer to join our Reality Labs team, where you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of AR display and imaging systems. As a key member of our team, you'll explore innovative architectures and design spaces for AR optical systems, develop and analyze system components, and drive detailed system-level analysis. In this role, you will be part of a dynamic environment where you are consistently switching between high-level thinking and meticulous attention to detail to mature our architectures and designs. Optical Engineer Responsibilities
Explore architectures and design spaces for AR optical systems through design and prototyping using novel and conventional techniques and components Develop and analyze system and subsystem components that are specified to meet the needs of advanced AR products Perform detailed system level analysis such as optical modeling, tolerancing, and estimating size, weight, and power to predict system performance Contribute to the process of design releases, prototyping and creation of RFQ, ERS documentation Collaborate with internal research teams for adoption of mature technologies Minimum Qualifications
Masters degree or equivalent experience in the field of Optics, Optical Sciences, Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Sciences or a similar field, or equivalent work experience 2+ years of experience in applied research and/or product development of optics or photonic systems 2+ years of experience with optical systems requiring any combination of the following: imaging, illumination, physical optics, stray light analysis, radiometry, photometry Experience maturing optical systems from proof-of-concept to early low volume prototype or production Knowledge of optical design, modeling methods, and tools for imaging and illumination systems as well as tolerance analysis Experience working, communicating, and collaborating in a cross-functional environment Experience with Code V, Zemax, MATLAB, Python or C++ programming Experience with programming, software development and production Preferred Qualifications
PhD degree or equivalent experience in the field of Optical Sciences, Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a similar field Working knowledge of human visual systems and ophthalmic optics, and familiarity with ophthalmic lens standards 5+ years of experience in applied research and/or product development of optics or photonic systems 5+ years of experience with optical systems requiring any combination of the following: imaging, illumination, physical optics, stray light analysis, radiometry, photometry Knowledge of mass production of optical components and systems Experience with full design chain: first order layout, design, material selection, opto-mechanical interaction, tolerancing, thermal control, supplier selection, supplier management, test and manufacturing evaluation Experience in opto-mechanical design tools such as Ansys, Solidworks, NX Experience in non-sequential ray tracing tools such as FRED or LightTools $111,000/year to $164,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits
