Job Description

As an Opto-Mechanical Engineer at Facebook, you will take a critical role in developing future generation AR Systems. You will become part of a team exploring new concepts through mechanical design and fast iterative prototyping. A wide range of approaches will be explored combining electrical, mechanical, optical, firmware, and software techniques. We want people who work well in teams, can brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, are able to drive a concept into a prototype and then mature the design to high-volume consumer product solutions.
We are looking for someone with a productive mindset who can apply their mechanical engineering expertise to solve problems in creative, insightful ways. Our ideal candidate has a strong fundamental engineering background, prototyping skills, 3D CAD capability, and experience designing and manufacturing consumer technology products.

Opto-Mechanical Engineer Responsibilities

* Drive Mechanical Engineering activities in a cross-functional hardware team

* Model, build, test, and refine prototypes and characterization test systems

* Work across the full product development cycle, from concept inception to shipping product

* Apply rigorous engineering and tolerance techniques to high precision design requirements in the areas such as Optics, Mechanics, and Motion Control

Minimum Qualifications

* BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience

* Knowledge and application of GD&T techniques and associated metrology approaches

* 2+ years experience working on ME designs in optics, mechanism, or mechatronics designs

* Testing and analysis experience (FEA, Simulation, Zemax, Ray Tracing, etc.)

* Knowledge of manufacturing techniques (Machining, 3D printing, injection molding, etc.)

* Experience in 3D design modeling (NX and/or SolidWorks) and physical prototyping

Preferred Qualifications

* Experience in opto-mechanical design and engineering

* Experience in consumer electronics product development or manufacturing

* Experience with design and prototyping of head mounted optics systems

* Experience designing optical metrology or high precision mechanisms/motion control

* Experience with mechanical and optics metrology devices such as CMM, OMM, interferometry

* Knowledge of optics component mounting, interfaces, and adhesive bonding

* Knowledge of materials and structural modeling/optimization

* Familiar with Electronics and mechanical system testing, and associated data analysis and associated statistics

* 5+ years experience working on ME designs in optics, mechanism, or mechatronics designs
