Display Panel Design Intern

Reality Labs is building products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most. As a Display Array Modeling Engineering Intern, you will help build pre-silicon simulation models for high pixel-density (>4500 PPI) uOLED display arrays to predict front-of-screen artifacts such as crosstalk and mura, and other performance metrics. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams such as panel design and optical engineering.

This is a 12 week internship.

Responsibilities

• Design semiconductor circuits using Cadence Virtuoso Schematic Editor and simulate them using Cadence simulation tools (Spectre/SPICE)
• Build and validate large-array simulation models using combined distributed and lumped loads, incorporating peripheral circuit blocks and improved test bench setups
• Analyze circuit layouts and incorporate parasitic extraction results into array-level models to predict coupling to sensitive nodes (e.g., anode, drive transistor gate)
• Correlate simulated predictions (crosstalk, mura, settling behavior, power/load effects) against measured display data to improve model accuracy
• Operate optical lab instruments (e.g., microscope, spectrometer, imaging colorimeter, probe station) to measure display KPIs such as crosstalk and mura
• Develop quantifiable, measurable metrics for display artifacts and automate measurement and data analysis using Python/MATLAB

Minimum qualifications

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, an MS in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, VLSI, or a related field
• Experience in mixed-signal circuit design, including analog/digital fundamentals, signals and systems, and semiconductor device behavior
• Hands-on experience with Cadence Virtuoso tools (Schematic Editor) and Cadence circuit simulation (Spectre/SPICE)
• Understanding of circuit layouts, parasitic effects, and large-array modeling concepts
• Experience with programming in Python and/or MATLAB for data collection and analysis
• Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
• 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

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, VLSI, or a related field
• Strong preference for background in memory design and characterization, or related array structures (e.g., SRAM, image sensors, solar cell arrays)
• Familiarity with display technologies (LCD, OLED, uOLED) and display pixel circuits (e.g., multi-transistor pixel architectures)
• Experience with optical lab instruments such as microscopes, spectrometers, imaging colorimeters, and probe stations
• Experience developing quantitative optical/visual performance metrics (e.g., crosstalk, mura) for displays
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
