Job Description

At Reality Labs Research (RL-R), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Wearable Camera Systems Engineer to join our team, whose mission is to enable next-generation human-computer interface by developing sensor systems for AR/VR input. We are specifically looking for a candidate with experience in wearable or consumer-electronics optical detector systems and optical modeling and who can work with a team of researchers to design, build and test wearable sensing systems. More broadly, the chosen candidate will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers and will have access to cutting edge technology, resources, and testing facilities.

Wearable Optical Systems Engineer Responsibilities:

• Design, build and test optical sensing systems that may include active illumination (LEDs, lasers, structured light), cameras (CCDs, thermal, SPAD, etc.), and passive optical components (lenses, polarizers, spectral filters, etc.)
• Develop optical models of our sensor systems to guide requirement definition with simulations
• Build quick prototypes to enable our team’s path-finding research
• Work with cross-functional engineering and research partners to mature prototypes to increasing levels of fidelity, ranging from proof-of-concept bench-top demonstrations to wearable integrated systems
• Work with cross-functional research partners to understand their goals and define system requirements
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• Masters or PhD in Optics, Imaging Science, Physics, Engineering, or related fields
• 5+ years industry experience in low-SWAP camera system design, integration and testing
• 5+ years experience with optical modeling and data analysis tools such as Zemax, MATLAB, Python, or other similar tools
• 5+ years experience with photodetector technologies (CCD, CMOS, APD, SPAD, thermal, etc.) and camera module design principles and best practices
• 2+ years experience leading technical projects, cross-functional teams, and vendors
• Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with camera module manufacturing/assembly process, consumer product optical design, and DFM (design for manufacturing) principles
• Experience with biosensors such as pulse oximeters, glucose monitors, blood pressure monitors, etc.
• Experience with low-SWAP beam steering methods
• Experience with coherent imaging
• Experience with optical ranging methods (dTOF, iTOF, structured light, etc.)
