Summary:

As a PhD intern, you will focus on on-chip laser beam scanning for advanced display and coherent sensing applications, and contribute to digital signal processing (DSP) algorithm development. You will collaborate with experts in photonics, MEMS, and laser systems to prototype and validate new concepts that push the boundaries of AR/VR and sensing platforms.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Required Skills:

Research Scientist Intern, AR Displays & Sensing (PhD) Responsibilities:

1. Design, simulate, and prototype on-chip laser beam scanning systems for display and coherent sensing.

2. Develop and implement DSP algorithms for signal acquisition, processing, and system optimization.

3. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including photonics, MEMS, and laser engineers.

4. Communicate research plans, progress, and results to both technical and non-technical audiences.

5. Publish research results and contribute to technology transfer for product development. Explore and apply advanced concepts in photonics, MEMS, and semiconductor lasers (DBR, DFB, VCSEL, etc.).

6. Conduct system-level prototyping and experimental validation of new optical architectures.
