Meta's Reality Labs is seeking to research and develop advanced materials, architectures, and interconnect technologies for next-generation flexible and wearable electronic devices to build the future of immersive technologies.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience with microfabrication techniques and working in cleanroom environments, ideally focusing on semiconductor device processing, fabrication, and/or packaging
- Experience with materials characterization and/or metrology techniques (e.g., surface analysis, microscopy, spectroscopy, mechanical testing)
- Knowledge of advanced packaging technologies and proficiency in microfabrication techniques, including photolithography, etching, and deposition processes
- Familiarity with surface modification techniques (e.g., plasma treatment, self-assembled monolayers, metal oxide coatings) and materials characterization methods (e.g., electron microscopy, spectroscopy)
- Hands-on experience with clean room environment and fabrication tools such as mask aligners, spin coaters, wet benches, and plasma etchers
- Previous experience with sintering methods, processing, and characterization of metal powders or composite materials for electronic applications
- Proven track record of research excellence as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops, conferences, or prestigious journals
Responsibilities
- Design, model, and fabricate novel interconnect structures with engineered geometries and surface chemistries to improve wetting, adhesion, and mechanical reliability of interconnect technologies.
- Conduct literature reviews and materials exploration to identify promising chemical formulations and manufacturing processes.
- Design and conduct experiments in a lab environment and potentially a clean room to integrate new interconnect technologies in prototype devices.
- Develop and characterize test vehicles using microfabrication, additive manufacturing, or other advanced techniques and perform experimental evaluation of electrical, mechanical, and environmental reliability.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams in documenting and communicating experimental plans, results, and recommendations to both small and large groups of engineers and scientists.
Other
- Currently pursuing a PhD in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or a related technical field
- 2+ years of hands-on experience in a laboratory environment, with a focus on soft materials/robotics, flexible electronics, printed electronics, interconnects, wearable devices, or related areas
- Must have or be able to obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
- Experience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environment
- These roles are focused on the research and development of advanced materials, architectures, and interconnect technologies for next-generation of flexible and wearable electronic devices.
