Meta AR/VR Job | Lead Mechanical Engineer
Job（岗位）: Lead Mechanical Engineer
Type（岗位类型）: Hardware
Citys（岗位城市）: Redmond, WA
Date（发布日期）: 2022-2-15
Summary（岗位介绍）
Our team innovates novel optical hardware for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality devices. We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our team and work with a multidisciplinary group to develop advanced optical systems. We are specifically looking for a candidate with technology leadership experience and successful examples of innovating new designs, incubation and prototyping, and experience in pilot and scale up. The candidate should have strong foundational knowledge of mechanical engineering fundamentals, software tools for design and analytical modeling, manufacturing processes, and materials and their properties to explore creative solutions. The candidate will work with and provide leadership to a team of engineers and scientists focused on optical design, manufacture, assembly, and functionality of advanced optical systems.
This is primarily a mechanical design engineering role; however, the ideal candidate would also have a keen ability to adapt/learn, work collaboratively across fast-paced, multidisciplinary teams (i.e., with optical engineers, electrical engineers, software engineers, material scientists, physicists, technicians, etc.), and provide guidance and leadership to other mechanical engineers. We are looking for someone who is comfortable taking their designs all the way through detailed design, drawing generation, parts procurement, and hands-on assembly, integration, and test. We need someone who is well-versed in taking on high level tasks, determining what low-level steps need to be taken, and working in a self-guided fashion toward achieving the desired outcome.
