   • a. Responsible for the design of core optical systems for XR prescription lenses, mainly focusing on the optical structure design, simulation, and optimization of freeform surface lenses.
   • b. As per product requirements (e.g., form factor and optical performance), formulate optical design indicators, initiate feasibility demonstration and technical selection of optical solutions, and generate optical design scenario and technical documents.
   • c. Lead the iterative optimization of optical design, propose targeted solutions for existing product issues and ensure optical performance meets product requirements.
2. Optical Simulation, Analysis and Verification
   • a. Perform optical modeling, optical path simulation, and imaging quality analysis for XR prescription lenses with professional optical design softwares.
   • b. Conduct comparative analysis between optical simulation and actual test results, establish error correction models, and improve the accuracy and reliability of optical design.
3. Cross-functional Technical Collaboration and Support
   • a. Provide requirements for material properties in optical design (e.g., refractive index, Abbe number, light transmittance, thermal stability) and participate in the selection and verification of optical materials. Participate in product definition discussions, provide professional suggestions from optical design perspective to ensure the technical feasibility of product requirements.
   • b. Convert optical design scenario into scalable production process parameters, and support solving optical technical issues during mass production to improve yield.
4. Technical Accumulation and Innovative Exploration
