**Summary:** 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 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.As an Optical Algorithms Engineer, you will be responsible for developing custom algorithm solutions and implementing precise, robust, high‐throughput, accurate metrology and test solutions for characterization, performance evaluations of materials, processes, and complex optical devices. **Required Skills:** Optical Algorithms Engineer Responsibilities: 1.
