New Today

As an Opto-Mechanical Engineer at Meta, you will take a critical role in developing next generation Mixed Reality systems. You will become part of a team translating new concepts through Opto-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 are looking for someone with product development and shipping experience to join the Optical System Engineering team. You will be responsible for designing new optical system and bring it to mass production on future Mixed Reality products at Meta. This will be a technical lead role where the individual in this role will work closely with product managers, architects, product design engineers, optical design engineers, display engineers, quality engineers, reliability engineers, sourcing manager, process engineers, FEA simulation engineers, project managers, validation engineers, product-operations, and international suppliers from architecture phase through the full NPI process. We work at a fast pace with a group of talented partners. You will be excited about continuously developing personal knowledge and expertise in new technology for MR optical systems, process design, manufacturing, and scalability.
