At Meta Reality Labs, we are developing the future of Wearables and Mixed Reality products and this team focuses on developing display and optics technologies for Meta products. Their mission is to create see-through display systems that seamlessly blend the real and virtual realms. This involves designing the architecture and all display sub-systems for Augmented Reality glasses based on leading technologies developed by Meta's teams. We work on creating advanced display technologies that are essential for AR and Virtual Reality systems while having sub-teams who connect bits, electrons, photons, and experience for display products across wearables and the metaverse while focusing on display silicon architecture, applied perception studies, image quality, and defining the roadmap and long-term platform development strategy. Within XDO we also aim to develop and implement test, characterization, metrology, and data solutions to support the creation of transparent display systems.

Display Image Quality Engineer (PhD) Responsibilities:
- Develop and execute sensor-to-display calibration processes (e.g. camera or ambient light sensor spatial and dynamic range characterization and correction, display color space, timing control etc) for augmented reality prototypes and products
- Work closely with research scientists to define precise requirements and refine systems and ensure with data that perceptual targets are achieved
- Work with cross-functional partners in research and product development to ensure calibration processes can transfer to production at scale (i.e. takt time optimization)
- Experience in research, advanced optics development, or equivalent experience
- Experience in implementing system simulations of pipeline components and algorithms using a mixture of MATLAB and Python
- Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a PhD in optics, electrical engineering, vision science, computational imaging, biomedical engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta
- Experience with spectro-radiometric and/or photometric measurement for calibrating sensor (For example: camera, ambient light sensor) and display systems
- Experience working on the evaluation and engineering of display electronics and controllers
- Knowledge of standard image quality metrics, and deriving new metrics for novel environments and/or display architectures
- Knowledge of the complete image processing pipeline, from capture through reproduction through professional experience, publications and/or academic training
- Industry experience conducting research investigating issues with displays and/or sensors that user experience with automatic display control
- 3+ years of experience in optics, computational imaging, biomedical engineering, or a related field with an emphasis on control systems and calibration
- Experience working and communicating cross-functionally in a team environment
- Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences
- Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
