About the Role

Snap Inc is a camera company believing that reinventing the camera represents our greatest opportunity to improve the way the world sees. We contribute to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together. Our three core products are Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships; Lens Studio, a camera-based augmented reality platform; and Spectacles, our AR glasses.

Owning preventative and corrective maintenance, you’ll develop troubleshooting methodologies, use schematics and test equipment for repairs, and implement improvements to enhance efficiency, yield, and cost savings in our camera and AR assembly lines. You’ll ensure all equipment meets specifications, complies with standards, and adheres to engineering principles while training fellow technicians and fostering a safe, ISO-compliant culture. Collaborate with vendors, supervise operations, and contribute to new processes that power Snap’s creative AR vision. With strong analytical skills, independence, and a passion for problem-solving in a fast-paced, innovative environment, you’ll thrive in our diverse, collaborative culture. Snap practices a 'default together' policy, expecting 4+ days/week in-office to build our creative community faster.
