Research Scientist Intern, Hardware Product Engineering (PhD)

Meta Reality Labs brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interface, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. Some of those will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR that are so compelling that they become an integral part of our lives.Our internships are twelve (12) to twenty-four (24) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

• Support the display performance roadmap objectives and the successful product qualification of microLED display wafers.
• Assess product performance of end of line wafers by correlating display performance and discrete LED device performance with wafer process conditions on a range of test vehicles.
• Explore electro-optic and metrology data to infer conclusions.
• Identify display and device performance trends by processing datasets and tracking key performance related metrics.
• Collaborate with researchers and cross-functional partners including communicating research plans, progress, and results.
• Present and discuss results in cross functional forums.
