Washington, Redmond, 98052 Redmond USA

Vacancy expired!

At Facebook Reality Labs (FRL), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are looking for skilled and motivated Optical Engineers to join our Display and Optics team in FRL. Based on your expertise and your passion, you may work on one or more areas from the following: imaging optics, viewing optics, optical systems, optical metrology, display optics, optical characterization, optical material and optical fabrication processes. You will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers on the end-to-end product development cycle including concept, design, development, and integration of those optical components or systems. You will also work cross functionally to develop specifications and test methods, perform performance evaluation and work closely with manufacturing partners for prototyping and mass production.

  • Define and design optical components for next generation AR and VR experience
  • Establish engineering specifications, including key performance metrics, test methods, and test requirements for optical components and subsystems
  • Work with diverse and highly interdisciplinary team members, e.g. optical design & simulation, process development and supply chain, to develop and mature new technologies for the viewing optics subsystems
  • Lead the development during New Product Introduction (NPI) to scale up for high volume manufacturing
  • Define future optics technology roadmap and scope out New Technology Introduction (NTI)
  • Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally

  • BS degree in optical engineering, Physics or a related technical discipline or equivalent work experience
  • Experience in commercial CAD/CAM software and development of custom software (e.g., in MATLAB or Python) for generation of complex free-form optics toolpath for ultra-precision diamond turning machine
  • Experience in contact and non-contact optical metrology for free-form optics
  • Experience in technology transfer of free-form optics from R&D to high volume production
  • Experience in optical fabrication processes of freeform optics (e.g. injection molding, glass molding, diamond turning)
  • Experience in optical system engineering and cross-functional large volume product development
  • Experience in interpersonal skills to work with internal and external cross-functional teams collaboratively

  • MS degree or PhD in Optical Engineering, Physics or a related technical discipline or equivalent work experience
