Optical Systems Engineer

The Metaverse Optical Systems Engineering Team is looking for an optical systems engineer to develop and lead development and release of our Display & Optics systems for Meta products. You will work cross-functionally with optical, mechanical, camera, display, DFx and other teams to ensure the performance and realization of optical products.You can handle a high degree of ambiguity in product definition, play a critical role in the product engineering process, including product definition, scoping, task management & prioritization, rollout and launch. You make the right engineering tradeoffs in the context of a wider product or project goal. You make the team more effective by bringing in best practices, identifying & removing bottlenecks, as well as avoiding common pitfalls. Other engineers and managers look to you for your experience and expertise in the product development process.

• Work closely with the quality, test engineering, and technical operations teams to drive architected systems into mass production for electro-optical and electro-mechanical designs, system integration and verification including control software.
• Identify new concepts, develop and lead new innovative processes, assembly and integration of technologies and control systems that improve optical performance and system cost.
• Distill product-level requirements to optical system design and requirements. Perform requirement flowdown and budgeting to various subsystems.
• Drive the optics, display, mechanical, electronics, software and other cross-functional engineering teams to define, develop, realize, and simulate a variety of optical systems.
• Create and maintain engineering specifications. Specify key performance indicators, test methods, and test requirements for components and systems. Work closely with domestic and international vendors.

• Bachelor's degree in Optical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline.
• 3+ year of product development industry experience.
• Experience with Optical Systems, and general knowledge of optics including imaging, illumination, radiometry and colorimetry, physical and geometric optics, and polarization.
• Proven record in developing complex systems involving optics, mechanics, and automation. Experience working with system-level prototyping work, including hands-on prototyping of bench-top optical components.
