Meta(Meta Platforms)岗位:Optical Engineering Intern - Camera, Depth & Cover Window Optics Responsibilities
Own a focused optical engineering project from problem definition through modeling, analysis, validation, and final presentation, with guidance from your intern manager and a technical mentor.
Build and run optical models and simulations (sequential and non-sequential) to evaluate how optical components (camera lenses, cover windows, depth optics, and light pipes) affect system-level performance.
Analyze optical performance metrics such as MTF, stray light, distortion, surface form and scatter, and quantify design trade-offs against engineering requirements.
Develop analysis scripts and tooling in Python or MATLAB to automate simulation workflows, post-process large datasets, and make results reproducible for the broader team.
Support lab characterization of optical components, including measurement setup, data collection, and correlation of measured results against simulation predictions.
Document assumptions, methods, and results clearly, and present findings to optical, camera, and cross-functional engineering partners.
Minimum Qualifications
Coursework or project experience in geometrical and physical optics, imaging, or radiometry
Experience with at least one optical design or analysis tool (e.g., Zemax, CODE V, LightTools, FRED, or comparable)
Programming and data analysis experience in Python or MATLAB
Must obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
Intent to return to full-time degree program after completion of the internship
Preferred Qualifications
Coursework or research in imaging systems, illumination design, stray light analysis, or computational imaging
Hands-on optical lab experience with instrumentation such as spectrometers, interferometers, scatterometers, lab microscopes, or MTF test benches
Familiarity with optical performance metrics and measurement techniques (MTF, BSDF, surface form and roughness, distortion, transmitted wavefront error)
Exposure to non-sequential or stray light simulation, tolerance analysis, or Monte Carlo yield analysis
Familiarity with optical materials, thin-film coatings, or injection-molded and formed optical components
Interest in applying machine learning or automation to optical design, simulation, or data analysis workflows
Experience communicating technical results clearly to a multidisciplinary audience
