Summary:
We are seeking a Contingent Worker Optical Engineer to help develop mixed reality (MR) and augmented reality (AR) display systems. This role requires skills in optical system design and building, knowledge in various optics fields, and experiences with scientific experiments and data analysis. An ideal candidate enjoys solving challenging optics problems, refining the quality and precision of the optical system with thorough analysis and experiments, iterating efficiently with detail-oriented and data-driven processes.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop optical components, sub-assemblies, and optical systems for Client AR/MR display systems
  • Build and operate automated optical fabrication systems in the lab environment
  • Design and build automated metrology system and acquire/analyze the data
  • Implement and conduct optics simulations using commercial software or scientific programming languages
  • Handle and catalogue optical components and manage lab equipment s and environment
  • Communicate results with the team and to a larger Reality Labs organization

Qualifications:
  • BS degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related technical discipline with 3+ years of experience; or Master s degree in Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline with 2+ years of experience or equivalent experience.
  • Hands-on experience in implementing complex optical experiment systems from concept to benchtop system validation.
  • Familiarity with diffractive optics, ray optics, optical metrology and characterization.
  • Previous training of optical laboratory, including laser safety, handling/cleaning optics, etc.
  • 3+ years of experiences with scientific programming language (MATLAB or Python)
  • Abilities to summarize experimental results through visualization and documentation.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with holographic optical element fabrication or laser interferometer systems.
  • Experience with optomechanical instruments (e.g. mechanical stages, motion controllers) and metrology instruments (e.g. spectrometer, polarimeter, CCD/CMOS sensors, spatial light modulators, etc.).
  • Experience with automation programming in a laboratory setting (instrument interface, motion control, image acquisition, data collection and analysis) using MATLAB or Python.
  • Experience with writing custom optic simulation software or simulations with commercial software (Zemax, CodeV, Lightools, etc.) to model Client optical systems, and optimize systems using numerical techniques.
  • Experience with clean room experiments or optical coating/lamination.
  • Experience with specialty optics, e.g. Bragg volume gratings, diffractive optics, polarization optics, etc.
  • Experience with handling and processing of photopolymers.
  • Proven track record of solving difficult problems and achieving high quality and significant results in optical systems, as demonstrated first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences, presentations, journal articles, patents, etc.

Pay Transparency: The typical base pay for this role across the U.S. is: $50.00 - $68.50/hr. Final offer amounts, within the base pay set forth above, are determined by factors including your relevant skills, education and experience and the benefits package you select. Full-time employees are eligible to select from different benefits packages. Packages may include medical, dental, and vision benefits, 10 paid days off, 401(k) plan participation, commuter benefits and life and disability insurance.
