Product Design Engineer

Meta's Hardware engineers are at the forefront of innovation, driving the design and development of hardware systems that power the future of human connection. Across Infrastructure, Reality Labs, Robotics, and Research, our teams tackle complex challenges in consumer electronics, data centers, advanced robotics, opto-mechanical systems, and more. We bring together cross-disciplinary minds to invent, prototype, and deliver products and platforms that connect billions of people worldwide.

As a Mechanical/Product Design Engineer, you are an established and highly productive technical leader responsible for driving the execution of complex projects. You will own critical systems from concept to launch, applying subject matter expertise to develop strategy, mentor other engineers, and align solutions across multiple teams. This role is for an engineer who can navigate ambiguity, influence program direction, and is sought out by peers for their technical guidance.

Minimum Qualifications

* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field and/or equivalent industry experience

* 6+ years of industry experience in mechanical design, with demonstrated track record of shipping high‑volume commercial products and/or designing complex electromechanical assemblies in a research/prototype environment

* Demonstrated experience leading the design of complex assemblies and systems from concept to production

* Expertise in 3D/2D CAD, DFM/DFA, GD&T, material properties, and high-volume manufacturing techniques

* Proven experience providing technical mentorship and guiding the work of other engineers

* Experience contributing to product or technology roadmaps and influencing program-level strategy

Preferred Qualifications

* 8+ years of product design and development experience of handheld and/or wearable high-volume consumer electronics, including complex subsystems and/or full systems ownership

* Experience with NX CAD

* Experience with highly cosmetic products and working with Industrial Design

* Professional working proficiency in Mandarin and/or Cantonese is preferred working with external partners

* Experience designing for human factors

* Experience designing and shipping products with Asia-based supply chains

* MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering

* Demonstrated experience to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)

* Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)

* Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies

Responsibilities

* Own and deliver complex, high-impact mechanical systems and architectures, driving technical solutions and strategy from concept to mass production

* Provide technical direction and mentorship. Proactively identify and solve important technical problems, contributing to the broader organizational strategy and setting goals across teams

* Work closely with and influence a wide range of internal and external partners. Persuade audiences and drive progress on complex projects with dependencies across multiple functions

* Drive projects through early research and development and/or full development cycle, from early concept and prototyping through to validation and mass production, ensuring alignment with program strategy and execution

* Take responsibility for the engineering craft of your projects. Actively seek ways to improve components, systems, and processes, and champion best practices in design, analysis, and validation

* Push state-of-the-art technologies and approaches to solve complex mechanical problems in consumer electronics, robotics, infrastructure, and research
