Manufacturing Process Engineer
Job Description
At Meta Reality Labs, we are developing the future of Wearables and Mixed Reality products. This team focuses on developing display and optics technologies for Meta products, creating see-through display systems that seamlessly blend the real and virtual realms. The role involves designing architecture and display sub-systems for AR glasses, developing and implementing test, characterization, metrology, and data solutions to support transparent display systems.
We are seeking a Process Engineer to join our Optics and Display Engineering team in China. You will play a critical role in productizing modules and systems that are central to delivering transformative experiences in wearable products. Your expertise will be focused on tackling complex integration and assembly challenges, developing module assembly process and tools, lamination process and tools, novel adhesive material development, and maturing these new processes from concept to ramp. You will bridge the gap between proof-of-concept to mass production, ensuring seamless integration into our product lines. You will work closely in a collaborative relationship with subcontract manufacturing partners engineering teams and you will develop the high-volume manufacturing infrastructure required to produce the highest quality hardware.
You will excel in collaborative environments, working effectively with cross-functional teams, including optic, metrology, opto-mechanics, operations, quality, GSM, and suppliers. Your contributions will be critical to the success of our product lines, and we look forward to welcoming you to our China team.
