Research Scientist Intern, Optical System Design (PhD)
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: About the role? Could be the introductory paragraph about Meta Reality Labs and internships. That could be "About the role". We'll put that in
. Responsibilities: list bullet points. Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Could be Requirements. We'll use Requirements heading for Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Could be Qualifications heading. Skills: maybe not separate; we could combine with Qualifications. But we could have Skills section if there are specific skills listed: experience with optical design programs, scientific programming languages, etc. Those are in Minimum Qualifications. Could be considered Skills. But we already have Requirements and Qualifications. To avoid thin sections, we might combine. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Minimum Qualifications (as Requirements), Preferred Qualifications (as Qualifications), Pay, Schedule. That's 6 sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for the title. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: EEO, accommodations, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract content: Intro paragraph: "Meta Reality Labs brings together a team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interface, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. Some of those will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR that are so compelling that they become an integral part of our lives.Our internships are twelve to twenty-four weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year." Note there is a missing period before "Our internships". We'll keep as is. Responsibilities list: - Collaborate with researchers and cross-functional partners, including communicating research plans, progress, and results - Publish research results and contribute to research that can be applied to Meta product development - Develop next-generation AR/VR displays with an emphasis on advanced simulations and prototyping to prove new concepts and understand the perceptual impact of those concepts - Collaborate with larger Meta Reality Labs Research team to explore novel solution space for AR/VR devices - Explore the application of at least one of the following: geometrical optics, diffraction optics, polarization optics, illumination, optical system design - This position will have an emphasis on advanced simulations and prototyping to prove new concepts and the perceptual impact of those concepts (maybe duplicate? Actually it's repeated; we can keep as part of responsibilities.) We need to preserve all substantive information; we can keep that sentence as part of responsibilities. Minimum Qualifications: - Currently has or is in the process of obtaining a Ph.D. degree in Optical Science, Optical Engineering, Opto-Mechanics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computational Imaging or relevant technical field - Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment - 2+ years of experience in at least one of the following areas of optical research: physical optics, geometric optics, aberration theory, optical system prototyping - 2+ years of experience with optical design programs such as Zemax OpticStudio, Code V, LightTools, FRED, or similar - 2+ years of experience with scientific programming languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python, and Mathematica) Preferred Qualifications: - Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences - Intent to return to the degree program after the completion of the internship/co-op - 2+ years of experience in system-level prototyping work, including hands-on prototyping of benchtop optical components - Experience working and communicating cross-functionally in a team environment - Proven track record of achieving significant results as demonstrated by grants, fellowships, patents, as well as first-authored publications at leading workshops or conferences such as JOSA, SPIE, OSA, IEEE, CLEO, or similar Note duplicate line about proven track record appears twice; we can keep both but maybe combine? We should preserve all substantive information; duplicate is okay but we could keep both as separate bullets. About Meta: paragraph after "About Meta:" includes description of Meta building technologies, Facebook launched 2004, etc. We'll keep that. Pay: "$7,313/month to $12,667/month + benefits Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate, monthly rate, or annual salary only, and do not include bonus, equity or sales incentives, if applicable. In addition to base compensation, Meta offers benefits. Learn more about benefits at Meta." We should keep that as Pay section content. Schedule: "Our internships are twelve to twenty-four weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year." Already included in intro but we can put in Schedule section. However we already used that sentence in About the role. To avoid duplication, we could keep it only in Schedule section and remove from About the role? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep it in both places? The instruction: do not invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's in source. The source has that sentence only once in the intro. Actually the sentence appears at end of first paragraph: "Our internships are twelve to twenty-four weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year." So we should keep it there. If we also create a Schedule section repeating it, that's duplication but still preserving info. Might be okay but could be considered thin. Better to keep it in About the role and not create separate Schedule section unless we have additional schedule info. However we have no other schedule info. The rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The schedule content exists; we could put it in About the role or Schedule. But we need to decide which heading to use. Since we have About the role already, we could incorporate schedule info there. Then we would not need a Schedule section. That would reduce sections. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to merge schedule into About the role. Thus sections: About the role (includes intro + schedule), Responsibilities, Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Pay. We need to ensure we don't create Benefits section. Now format:
About the role
... (intro paragraph including schedule)
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Requirements
- ... ...
Qualifications
- ... ...
Pay
... (pay details)
Make sure to not include any extra text. Now craft the HTML. We need to escape any HTML special characters? Not needed. Let's write the About the role paragraph: "Meta Reality Labs brings together a team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. And just as personal computers have done over the past 45 years, AR and VR will ultimately change everything about how we work, play, and connect. We are developing all the technologies needed to enable breakthrough AR glasses and VR headsets, including optics and displays, computer vision, audio, graphics, brain-computer interface, haptic interaction, eye/hand/face/body tracking, perception science, and true telepresence. Some of those will advance much faster than others, but they all need to happen to enable AR and VR that are so compelling that they become an integral part of our lives. Our internships are twelve to twenty-four weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year." Note we added a space before "Our". Good.

Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate, monthly rate, or annual salary only, and do not include bonus, equity or sales incentives, if applicable. In addition to base compensation, Meta offers benefits. Learn more about benefits at Meta." We should keep as is. Now output HTML. Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, accommodations, etc. Make sure
