  • Collaborate cross-functionally with optical system designers, simulation engineers, and other research teams to co-develop new display architectures and integrate device-level innovations into system-level solutions
  • Explore emerging optical technologies and evaluate their potential to advance AR display performance, including novel materials, device concepts, and fabrication methods

Requirements

  • PhD degree in optics, physics, electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, relevant technical field, and/or equivalent practical experience
  • 3+ years of experience in one or more of the following disciplines: optical design and simulation, optical fabrication, display technologies, computational imaging
  • Experience with AR display systems and understanding of their optical requirements
  • Demonstrated experience to identify core research problems and drive them to solution with initiative

Nice to have

  • PhD in optics, photonics, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or a related field or equivalent practical experiences
  • 6+ years of experience in one or more of the following disciplines: optical design and simulation, optical fabrication, display technologies, computational imaging
  • Experience with holographic optical elements (HOE), volume Bragg gratings (VBG), or photopolymer materials
  • Hands-on experiences on designing and executing optical experiments, working in a lab environment as a core part of the job
  • Experience designing/building near-eye display prototypes (AR/VR)
  • Solid understanding of diffractive optics and holography
  • Computational simulation experience with light including: ray-tracing, Fourier optics, electromagnetic simulations (RCWA, FDTD), computer graphics, etc
  • Experience building complex experimental systems with lasers, interferometry or diffractive imaging systems
  • Experience with various spatial light modulators and display panel technologies
  • Track record of novel research (publications, prototypes, or demonstrated technical impact)
  • Proficiency with AI tools for scientific research, including computing, design and simulation, experiments, and data analysis
  • Experience with advanced nano-photonics technologies including design and fabrication
