Facebook Reality Labs, Mechanical Engineer
Vacancy expired!
The Facebook Reality Labs team is building products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most. We are a team of world-class experts developing and shipping products at the intersection of hardware, software, and content. Our team has the responsibility for taking breakthrough concepts and delivering them to market at scale. Our Augmented Reality Prototyping Platforms team seeks a Mechanical Engineer who has experience in consumer electronics and battery operated mobile products. You will work with Electrical Engineers, Optics Engineers, Computer Vision specialists, the Automation and Test teams, our assembly technicians and many more. You will set the architectural direction of the design, do the detailed CAD work, follow parts through manufacturing, and assemble units for evaluation. This requires an understanding of the interdisciplinary needs of the various teams you will be interacting with. The work will include translating high-level requests and communication into actionable hardware direction, working with key stakeholders to ensure agreement on the proposed solution and generating the necessary documentation to facilitate implementation; such as BOMs, assembly instruction, schedules, and issue trackers. While an expert at mechanical design and fast at CAD, you need to have a broad technical background and have worked on a variety of products, materials, and processes. You know when to stress details, how to navigate the trade-offs between speed, robust design and cost.
