Modeling and Simulation Research Scientist, Reality Labs Research
About The Position
Meta Reality Labs is seeking a Modeling and Simulation Research Scientist to advance the development of next-generation augmented and virtual reality hardware. In this role, you will apply coupled multiphysics modeling and simulation techniques to accelerate device development and inform the design of electrochemical and electro-mechanical systems for wearable AR/VR devices. You will work at the intersection of device engineering and physics-based simulation, partnering with hardware engineers and cross-functional teams to translate simulation insights into actionable design guidance.
Requirements
- PhD in Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or similar discipline and/or equivalent relevant experience
- Experience in relevant modeling and simulation techniques including multiphysics (mechanical, thermal, electrochemical, CFD)
- Experience with end-to-end model development, iterations, and validation
- Experience with FEA tools such as COMSOL or ANSYS
- Experience with CAD tools such as NX or Solidworks
- Proficiency in Matlab and Python scripting
Nice To Haves
- Experience with scripting for model parameterization (Ansys APDL), cloud computing, simulation parallelization, automation, or GPU acceleration
- Experience with CFD Analysis
- Experience in Electronics Reliability or E-CAD/M-CAD file conversion
- Experience with open source FEA tools such as FEniCS
- Experience with critical thinking, structured problem solving, and practical application of Design of Experiments (DOE) and Statistical Analysis (Monte Carlo)
- Experience simulating batteries and/or motors
- Experience with Multi-Disciplinary Optimization or Multiphysics Topology Optimization
- Experience with MEMS Multiphysics Analysis and Reduced Order Modeling
Responsibilities
- Perform coupled electrochemical-mechanical-thermal modeling of electrochemical systems (e.g., batteries, motors) integrated into larger electro-mechanical systems
- Perform CFD modeling to understand and design fluidic components for AR/VR devices
- Interpret modeling results and present relevant insights to collaborators, recommending design changes and directions to meet device performance requirements
- Lead model verification and validation efforts, designing data collection and testing methods and plans
- Work closely with partner teams to inform model development and validation through iterative collaboration
- Develop and maintain simulation workflows using FEA tools such as COMSOL or ANSYS to support device design decisions
- Communicate simulation methodologies, assumptions, and results through written technical reports and cross-functional design reviews
