Opto-Mechanical Engineer Role
As an Opto-Mechanical Engineer at Meta, you will play a pivotal role in the specification, design, prototyping, and deployment of cutting-edge hardware systems. You will collaborate with world-class teams across engineering disciplines to deliver innovative solutions for wearable devices, robotics, infrastructure, and research initiatives.
Responsibilities
Mechanical Design
Independently manage and deliver medium-complexity mechanical assemblies or subsystems, driving technical solutions from concept to production.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with internal and external partners, including supply chain, manufacturing, and cross-disciplinary engineering teams.
Prototyping & Testing
Model, build, test, and refine prototypes and characterization test systems; conduct feasibility studies and failure analysis.
Product Development Cycle
Drive projects from early concept through prototyping, validation, and mass production, supporting manufacturing partners worldwide.
Technical Leadership
Provide technical direction, mentor junior engineers, and influence program strategy and execution.
Innovation
Push state-of-the-art technologies and approaches to solve complex mechanical problems in consumer electronics, robotics, infrastructure, and research.
Documentation & Communication
Generate and manage technical documentation, specifications, and clear communication across teams and stakeholders.
Travel
Support manufacturing and development activities with travel to external vendors and partners as needed.
