Description For Senior Optical Engineer - Mixed Reality Optics and Display Team

In Mixed Reality, people—not devices— are at the center of everything we do. Our tech transcends screens and pixels, creating a new reality aimed at bringing us closer together. We are incorporating groundbreaking technologies, from the revolutionary Holographic Processing Unit to computer vision, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and more.

The Optics and Display team is at the forefront of developing advanced Mixed Reality products. As a Senior Optical Engineer, you will:

  • Be responsible for optical design, display characterization, optical analysis, and optical simulation for AR and MR displays.
  • Develop and implement optical systems and components to achieve highly efficient display solutions.
  • Collaborate with broad cross-functional engineering teams, including electronics, mechanical, systems, product management, and reliability and quality teams.
  • Explore advanced display technologies and collaborate with suppliers to drive progress and deliverables.
  • Optimize display system performance and integration, focusing on optical efficiency, system power, and product ID accommodations.
  • Conduct experiments, set up optical test equipment, and troubleshoot issues.
  • Develop scripts and software tools for automating data acquisition and analysis processes.
  • Evaluate color performance of displays and perform color calibration.
  • Document test procedures, summarize results, and present findings to stakeholders and broader teams.

This role requires on-site work and collaboration at our office and labs in Mountain View, CA, with work-site flexibility of up to 50% work from home. This role is eligible for relocation support.

Join our diverse team of talented engineers, program managers, and artists dedicated to putting technology on a human path across all Windows devices, including Microsoft HoloLens, the Internet of Things, phones, tablets, desktops, and Xbox.
