Rapid Prototyping Opto Mechanical Engineer III

Job Description

Meta Reality Labs Research is developing the future of AI glasses and cutting edge robotics . As a Mechanical Engineer in RL-R Engineering, you will become part of a team translating new machine perception concepts and fast iterative prototyping to develop the latest sensing hardware designs. We want people who work well in teams, can brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, drive a concept into a prototype and then mature the design towards volume product solutions.

We are looking for someone with a product mindset, who also is very comfortable working on rapid prototyping, to join a highly collaborative and productive team. We work at a fast pace with a group of highly self-motivated talents. The individual should continuously develop personal knowledge and expertise in new technology for sensing systems, process design, manufacturing, and scalability.

Drive rapid-prototyping efforts that will deliver multiple iterations of concepts in a short period of time.

Drive end-to-end discussions on system assembly process down-selection, prototyping, equipment & tooling needs for high precision assembly meeting mechanical, optical and reliability requirements.

Work closely with external equipment manufacturers, part suppliers, integrators to support technology deployment and development.

Support process validation studies and proof-of-concept builds.

Contribute to FMEA, failure analysis, tolerance analysis, gauge R&R, and the GD&T activities supporting product and prototyping development.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters.
