Project/Team Context

The Opto-Mechanical Engineering team works closely with Optical Designers, Production Engineers, and others on the design and development of novel 'optical engines' for our next generations of Augmented Reality devices. Team members design opto-mechanical subsystems within the optical engine, as well as the tooling and processes used to assemble and characterize them. This role will be in the Boulder office, where these activities focus on building early…
