Display Systems Opto-ME

At Meta, we're building the future of human connection through groundbreaking technology. Our mission is to invent and develop the next generation of experiences that will redefine how people interact, communicate, and explore the world. As an Opto-Mechanical Engineer in our research organization, you will play a pivotal role in advancing AR / MR display technologies. You will contribute to the creation of advanced system concepts and drive the design and execution of novel hardware solutions. In this role, you'll collaborate with experienced engineers, scientists, and leaders-helping to define the cutting edge of AR / MR. We're seeking candidates with a proven track record in designing and developing opto-mechanical systems, expertise in CAD modeling, and hands-on experience with optics bench setups. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and build advanced optical systems for next-generation AR / MR applications.

Responsibilities

Design and build engineering prototypes for AR / MR systems, ranging from single units to small batches

• Develop mechanical and opto-mechanical components and assemblies using CAD tools
• Collaborate within cross-functional teams-including optical, mechanical, electrical, software, and firmware engineering-to achieve prototype objectives
• Partner with relevant stakeholders to ensure prototypes meet functional and design requirements
• Coordinate procurement of parts and manage vendor relationships for prototyping activities
• Perform CAD modeling and simulation for mechanical and opto-mechanical systems
• Construct and maintain complex CAD models integrating mechanical, optical, and electrical components
• Model and optimize optical systems for integration into prototypes
• Assemble, test, and troubleshoot opto-mechanical and optical systems, including prototypes and laboratory setups
• Manage the end-to-end prototype development cycle : design, fabrication, assembly, and testing
• Document bill of materials (BOMs), assembly procedures, and test results for prototypes
• Capture and share lessons learned and best practices to inform future projects
