Optical HW Test Engineer (Optical Metrology and Image Processing)

Optical HW Test Engineer (Long Term Contract at Meta)

As an AR/VR Hardware Test Engineer at Meta AR/VR, you will be responsible for design, development and bring-up of testing equipment in support of AR/VR products. You will join an agile team that is laser-focused on incubating winning prototypes, establishing new process capabilities with supply-chain partners, and releasing product sub-systems that are fully hardened for high-volume manufacturing (HVM). We want someone who can drive conceptual optical/optomechanical system hardware design in an early product exploration stage, validate first article design in the lab and deploy in factories including equipment, fixtures, and algorithms. You will enforce manufacturability, testability, and ensure cost-effective designs are implemented for testing and automation systems, software, and equipment. This position will have responsibilities for NTI and NPI test development and bridge to sustaining support for production.

Responsibilities

Develop, deploy, and validate advanced optical test stations involving illumination sources (LED, lasers, lamps, etc.), motorized stages, and a variety of optical elements (lenses, diffractive gratings, mirrors, etc.) and accompanying software infrastructure for AR/VR products, both internally and externally

Work with internal and external team to design and manufacture custom test fixtures and develop imaging/data processing script/algorithm. Provide written documentation of procedures, setups, and experimental results with strong attention to detail. Own the standardization and optimization of the test processes to enhance quality and operational efficiency in production. Collaboratively drive to close potential test gaps and correlations issues
