As an Opto-Mechanical Engineer at Facebook Reality Labs (FRL), you will help research, design, and develop state-of-the-art solutions, mechanisms, and prototypes for next generation Augmented Reality consumer products that will create transformative user experiences. You will become part of a hardware-centric research team exploring creative new technical solutions from initial concept development, prototype design, analytical modeling, tooling design, and fast iterative prototyping. The position will support multiple research areas as the mechanical engineering expert in the hardware R&D; environment to prove initial viability and firmly establish the technology. The position will also be responsible for technical management of subject matter expert partner vendors. The role may help in transferring the technology to product design teams, but will not be involved in designing the shipping high-volume product. We want people who work well in cross-functional teams; can brainstorm big ideas, help chart direction in environments with high ambiguity, work in unexplored technology areas, are able to drive a concept into working prototypes for feasibility and performance testing. Starting with a sound mechanical engineering background, the candidate must be willing to become a quick expert in a new area by quickly build new prototypes using novel materials and/or by integrating structures in new ways.
