Summary（岗位介绍）
Meta is unique in our ambition and commitment to making widely adopted consumer AR a reality. Towards this goal, we continue to invest in the development of new-to-the-world hardware technologies that can enable our vision. These new technology initiatives (NTIs) span from smaller efforts providing incremental improvements to large multi-year bets with significant technology, schedule, scalability, and cost risks.
The AR hardware team in Meta Reality Labs is looking for a Technology Strategy Lead, who will be responsible for managing the portfolio of NTIs across the AR & Smart Glass hardware product lines over multiple generations. The lead will work cross-functionally with teams such as product management, product architecture, engineering, research, operations, and technical program management to drive clarity, alignment, efficiency, and world-class engineering execution for each NTI.
We are looking for individuals who have experience in technology or product development both in-house and with external partners, and who have the breadth and depth of knowledge to drive the technical choices and direction of all the phases of the technology development process.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
BS in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or equivalent work experience
Experience in full life cycle product development with new-to-the-world technologies in one or more of the following areas: strategy and roadmap definition, materials, device design, system or chip design, optics, enclosures, wireless, technology IP, fab process, and/or fab equipment, pilot production and scale-up for mass production
10+ years of experience in product development
Proven experience in cross-functional and executive communications and presentations
Description（岗位职责）
Accountable for NTI planning, structured execution and delivering Product POR interception across multiple AR HW technologies in several product lines over multiple generations.
