Form of workAt Meta 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. As a Lead Optical Testing Engineer you will be part of a team that will enable the end-to-end process development of display optic solutions for FRL Hardware products. You will be part of a team that will engage with external partners to identify, develop, and deliver full Optical Testing capabilities that are critical in the overall flow that is needed to produce and test innovative products. Success will depend on close collaboration with both internal and external partners.
- Define, design and develop optical Test/Metrology solutions including hardware engineering, test software implementation, and instrument qualification.
- Collect and perform statistical analysis on metrology data to correlate to performance metrics.
- Enable external partners to design and develop optical test solutions for image quality that support product development.
- Engage with external partners to direct and align test development workstreams into a cohesive test strategy to support critical product schedules and development needs.
- Drive alignment on optical performance requirements and test capability.
- Interface with Design and Process teams to align optical test capabilities to design requirements and support the bring up of test solutions on the development line.
- Work closely with external partners to transfer products into manufacturing and enable effective investigate of root cause of failure/defects by enabling the right Optical Testing capability and insight.
- Develop benchtop and production instrumentation to characterize complex optical modules and integrated systems (display and optics).
- Communicate effectively within the development teams, with internal stakeholders, and with outside vendors.
- Lead qualification activity with cross functional teams for end-to-end process.
- Travel domestically and or internationally up to 30%.
Minimum Qualifications:
- MS in Mechanical Engineering, Optical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, related technical discipline or equivalent industry experience.
- 7+ years of Optical Testing experience.
- Experience in simplifying complex situations and driving focus on core activity.
- Experience scripting and prototype image analysis algorithms in MATLAB or Python.
- Knowledge of vision science and perceptual psychology.
- Knowledge of statistical methods and experience in data analysis with tools such as Matlab, JMP.
- In-depth knowledge of imaging optics, image quality metrics, optical metrology and characterization.
- Experience in test automation (instrument control and data collection) using LabView, MATLAB or Python.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with integrating complex process flows, identifying the effective use on inline metrologies and establish effectiveness in projecting outgoing quality/performance.
- Experience in opto-mechanical design and simulation using SolidWorks, NX or other CAD tools, Zemax, Code V, LightTools, FRED or other optical design/simulation tools.
- Experience in computer vision metrics and techniques.
- Understand core methods to establish process baselines on complex process flows.
- Experience with design experiments and related statistical data analysis to drive process proficiency for chemical and mechanical processes.
- Familiarity with cosmetic inspection and quality control of coating and optical components.
- Understanding of Optical coating and application techniques.
