Camera Systems Engineer

Camera Systems EngineerAt 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 AR glasses based on leading technologies developed by Meta's teams.

We work on creating advanced display technologies that are essential for AR and VR 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.ResponsibilitiesTechnical leadership and ownership, serving as the primary point of contact for all technical aspects of the camera modulesDefine detailed technical specifications and requirements for the camera modules, ensure that specifications are comprehensive, achievable, and aligned with the overall system architecture and project goalsAnalyze data from actual builds to validate design and simulation accuracy, lead iterative design cycles based on data analysis to ensure continuous improvement and refinement of the camera moduleCoordinate with cross-functional teams, including architecture, sensor, mechanical, electrical, optical, validation, process, testing, quality, reliability, system hardware and software engineering, etc. to ensure that the camera modules integrate seamlessly into the overall system, resolve technical challenges, and drive project successIdentify, communicate, and resolve technical risks throughout the development process and implement mitigation strategies to minimize impact on project timelines and deliverablesMaintain detailed documentation of all technical decisions, design iterations, and testing resultsRegularly report on progress, challenges/escalations, and successes to leadership and other stakeholdersLead camera testing and validation efforts to confirm that the final product meets all technical and performance criteriaFailure analysis and debugging of camera hardware at both module and product levelQualificationsBS in Optics, Imaging Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields/experience8+ years of hands-on technical experience in consumer electronics hardware developmentKnowledge of camera module design principles and best practices with knowledge of image quality fundamentals and their system driversExperience communicating and working with cross-functional groupsExperience with consumer electronics manufacturing, partnering with Asia-based suppliers and contract manufacturersData analysis experience with JMP, MATLAB, Excel, or other analysis softwareExperience in camera module design, optical simulation, metrology, testing and lab work to verify imaging component, assembly and system level performance Experience communicating technical decisions and project status to cross-functional stakeholders through written reports, design reviews, and presentationsMechanical tolerance analysis experienceISP tuning experienceColor science and image quality evaluation methodology experienceExperience working with Android camera HALElectrical circuit design and testing experienceSystems engineering experienceImaging lens design and characterization experience, including compact lens opticsImage sensor design, characterization, and tuning experienceMS degree in Optical Engineering, Imaging Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical disciplineWillingness to travel domestically and internationally up to 10% of the timeCamera module manufacturing processes and production testing experienceDepth sensing system design and manufacturing experienceImage processing in Python or MATLAB
