Product Design Engineer

At Meta Reality Labs we aim to bring together the brightest cross-disciplinary minds in one place to deliver on our mission: build tools that help people feel connected, anytime, anywhere.As a Product Design Engineer, you will take a critical role in developing hardware systems for AR and VR, or New Technology Initiatives.

You will become part of a team exploring developing concepts through prototyping and into mass-production consumer electronics.

You will work as part of a cross functional team requiring collaboration and curiosity in domains other than mechanical engineering.

Our ideal candidate has strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, prototyping skills, CAD fluency, manufacturing process knowledge, and experience designing consumer electronics.

This role is field personnel.

Responsibilities:

Product Design Engineer Responsibilities:

Contribute to mechanical solutions as part of a highly cross-functional team

Model, build, test, and refine prototypes and characterization test systems

Work across the full product development cycle, from concept inception to shipping product

Push state-of-the-art technologies and approaches to solving complex mechanical problems while working with cross functional technical teams

Design for Manufacturability - Ensure the design is robust and the equipment, process and materials are scalable to ramp

Conceptualize and design new prototype optical systems and components such as: imaging optics, illumination systems, geometric or physical optics, and projector design

Specify and design custom metrology and measurement systems

Plan and perform characterization and system performance testing

Collaborate with internal cross functional teams and external industry partners

Qualification and experience:

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Materials, or Optics Engineering or equivalent industry experience
