About the Role

Snap Inc is a technology company that believes the camera—and now AR glasses—present the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. We empower people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together through Snapchat, Lens Studio, and our innovative Spectacles AR glasses. The Spectacles team is pushing the boundaries of standalone, see-through AR technology powered by Snap OS to make playing, learning, and working better in the real world. Join our Manufacturing team as a Process Technician in the Spectacles department, where you'll contribute to cutting-edge AR hardware production in a creative, innovative culture dedicated to human progress. In this role, you'll wear a full cleanroom suit for the majority of your workday, supporting production while driving engineering tasks for process development and optimization. You'll proactively identify improvements to boost efficiency, yield, and reduce costs, assist in new process introductions, and ensure engineering standards are met in fabrication and test areas. As the on-shift process expert, you'll handle out-of-control events, perform investigations, and resolve issues swiftly, liaising with teams to maintain production priorities. You'll monitor processes, train operators, and foster a safety culture aligned with ISO standards, all while contributing to the reliable manufacturing of next-generation Spectacles that bring AR innovation to life. We're seeking a proactive technician with 3+ years in cleanroom fabrication, strong analytical skills, SPC knowledge, and the ability to thrive without direct supervision in a dynamic environment. Excellent communication and adaptability are key in our collaborative, creative culture. Snap's "Default Together" policy means 4+ days in-office to build our values faster. We offer competitive pay by zone, RSUs, comprehensive benefits, and a diverse, equal opportunity workplace committed to innovation in camera and AR tech.
