<p>At Reality Labs we aim to bring together cross-disciplinary minds in one place to deliver on our mission: build tools that help people feel connected, anytime, anywhere. As a Product Design Engineer, you will take a critical role in developing hardware systems for VR, AR, or New Technology Initiatives. You will become part of a team exploring developing concepts through prototyping and into mass-production consumer electronics. You will work as part of a cross functional team requiring collaboration in domains other than mechanical engineering. Our teams support mechanical engineering fundamentals, prototyping skills, CAD fluency, manufacturing process knowledge, and experience designing consumer electronics.</p> <p>Minimum Qualifications</p> <ul> <li>BS in Mechanical Engineering </li><li>8+ years of industry experience in mechanical design </li><li>Experience in Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), statistical tolerance analysis techniques, functional dimensioning, geometric tolerancing, and 3D/2D CAD </li><li>Working knowledge in material properties, such as plastics, metal, adhesive, glass, etc </li><li>Testing and analysis experience (FEA, Simulation, Design of Experiments, etc.) </li><li>Knowledge of high-volume manufacturing techniques (stamping, machining, injection molding, etc.) </li></ul> <p>Preferred Qualifications</p> <ul> <li>10+ years of product design and development experience of handheld and/or wearable electronics for high volume manufacturing, including full systems ownership </li><li>MS or PhD in Mechanical Engineering </li><li>Experience designing handheld and wearable electronics for high volume manufacturing </li><li>Experience with NX </li><li>Experience with products cosmetic surface treatments and interfacing with industrial design teams </li><li>Mandarin and/or Cantonese language skills </li><li>Experience designing for human factors </li><li>Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements) </li><li>Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews) </li><li>Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies </li></ul> <p>Responsibilities</p> <ul> <li>Lead the mechanical design for a particular component, feature or system while having end-to-end product development understanding </li><li>Contribute to mechanical solutions as part of a highly cross-functional team </li><li>Model, build, test, and refine prototypes and characterization test systems </li><li>Work across the full product development cycle, from concept inception to shipping product </li><li>Collaborate and manage work with Asia-based Supply Chain </li><li>Push state-of-the-art technologies and approaches to solving complex mechanical problems while working with cross functional technical teams </li><li>Travel to external vendors up to 20% </li></ul> <p>About Meta</p> <p>Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.</p> <p>Equal Employment Opportunity</p> <p>Meta is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.
