Research Scientist Intern, Photonic Integrated Circuits/Nanophotonics (PhD)
Redmond, WA
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.Research Scientist Intern, Photonic Integrated Circuits/Nanophotonics (PhD) Responsibilities

- Collaborate with researchers and cross-functional partners, communicating research plans, progress, and results.
- Publish research results and contribute to research that can be applied to Meta product development.
- Develop a subsystem for the next generation of AR/VR displays, with an emphasis on advanced simulations and prototyping that leverages photonic integrated circuits and nano-optics.
- Collaborate with the larger Meta Reality Labs Research team to explore novel solutions for AR/VR devices.
- Explore the application of novel photonic devices such as metastructures, photonic integrated circuits, and diffractive and refractive nanostructures, in conjunction with wave optics, polarization optics, and geometrical optics.
- Design novel photonic devices within a larger system that incorporates polarization optics and geometrical optics.
- This position will emphasize advanced simulations, design, and prototyping to prove new concepts and assess the perceptual impact of those concepts.
- Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Physics, or a relevant technical field.
- Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
- 2+ years of experience in at least one of the following areas of optical research: integrated optics, photonic integrated circuits, nanophotonics.
- 2+ years of experience in wave optics, polarization optics, or geometrical optics, with an emphasis on modeling and prototyping.
- 2+ years of experience with optical design programs such as Lumerical, FIMMWAVE/FIMMPROP, MEEP, COMSOL, or similar.
- 2+ years of experience with Python and MATLAB, including experience using the PyTorch library.
- 2+ years of experience with experimental optics and conducting laboratory work (i.e., demonstrated ability to construct proof-of-concept systems and to evaluate performance).
- Intent to return to the degree program after the completion of the internship or co-op.
- Experience working and communicating cross-functionally in a team environment.
- Proven track record of achieving significant results, as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, and first-authored publications in leading journals such as Nature Photonics, Optica, Optics Letters, and Optics Express, or at conferences such as CLEO.
