Summary:

The Team: The Metaverse Optical Engineering team conceives, designs and builds the optical interfaces to the Metaverse. We bring state-of-the-art optical technologies into Meta's AR/VR products. We drive technology selection, development and maturation. We design the optical components, processes and metrology, then integrate these technologies into our Metaverse products.The Position: As Optical Process Engineer you will identify, develop and qualify new processes and equipment that unlock breakthrough product features and designs. You will work with lens, display, research, systems, and architecture to prototype, qualify and ramp novel component, fabrication and assembly technologies. You will focus on technologies with a 2-5 year time to ramp.The Impact: The Optical Process Engineer role is key to enabling our next generation designs and architectures. As the Metaverse evolves there are increasing demands on ergonomics, visual quality and affordability. Meeting these demands requires new architectures, materials and components which in turn require new fabrication and assembly processes that can scale efficiently and economically. This position develops these technologies, thereby enabling vibrant, market leading product features.
