System Opto-Mechanical Prototyping Engineer at Meta
, United States


Job Descrption
As a System Opto-Mechanical Prototyping Engineer at Meta, you will take a critical role in developing next generation AR systems. You will become part of a team translating new concepts through mechanical design and fast iterative prototyping into products. A wide range of approaches will be explored combining electrical, mechanical, optical, firmware, and software techniques. We want people who work well in teams, can brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, are able to drive a concept into a prototype and then mature the design to high-volume consumer product solutions.


We are looking for someone with a product mindset, who also is very comfortable working in a fast-pace rapid prototyping team, to join a new eye-tracking focused incubation team within our existing Display and Optics organization. While the role is focused on technology incubation for readiness into mass production, the ideal candidate will demonstrate prior mass-production experience and showcase their aptitude for developing to the standards required for launching a product. With this duality in role, it is important that the candidate can choose the right development methodology that is appropriate for the stage of development. I.E. when to be fast and loose and when to be diligent and rigorous.


The candidate will be responsible for participating in developing new innovative approaches to solving complex design challenges that have direct impact on future AR products at Meta. The ideal candidate can demonstrate scrappiness and creativity when producing prototypes quickly to showcase an idea, or a particular solution. The ideal candidate needs to be aware of various rapid prototyping tools, such as 3D printing, and have the technical understanding of how to use them independently.


You will work closely with product design engineers, display engineers, hardware engineers, process engineers, FEA simulation engineers, material scientists, project managers, validation engineers, product-operations, and international suppliers. Strong collaboration is necessary, and the ideal candidate will demonstrate their aptitude for bringing their diverse viewpoint to aid in the development of these innovative design approaches.


We work at a fast pace with a group of highly self-motivated talents. The individual should demonstrate strong ability to continuously develop personal knowledge and expertise in new technology for AR display systems assembly, process design, manufacturing, and scalability.System Opto-Mechanical Prototyping Engineer Responsibilities
  • Drive rapid-prototyping efforts that will deliver multiple iterations of concepts in a short period of time
  • Own or contribute to the investigation and technology maturation of various eye-tracking design approaches
  • 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 product development
  • Support process validation studies and proof-of-concept builds
  • Apply engineering knowhow in the areas of optics, precision mechanism design & motion control
  • Document best practices, SOPs, and cost models by working closely with various cross functional teams
  • Drive FMEA, failure analysis, tolerance analysis, gauge R&R, and the GD&T activities supporting product scalability
Minimum Qualifications
  • Mechanical background with proven working knowledge of high precision alignment process development of optical imaging, display or sensing assemblies, as well as prototyping skills, 3D CAD, experience designing and manufacturing consumer technology products
  • Prior experience with commercial eyeglass lens design and manufacturing techniques
  • Experience with Optomechanics
  • Experience working with international equipment vendors and international contract manufacturers
  • BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience
Preferred Qualifications
  • Prior experience owning the design from concept to ship of optical-mechanical components, or equivalent
  • Prior experience with eye tracking
  • Knowledge of optical-display metrics, such as MTF, contrast, luminance, uniformity etc.
  • Experience with design and prototyping of head mounted optics systems
  • Knowledge of component/module mounting, interfaces, and adhesive bonding
  • Knowledge of structural and stress analysis and FEA
  • 3+ years of experience designing and deploying high precision assembly tools and processes for optical/imaging devices
