Optical Manufacturing Design Engineering (Mde)

Summary
The RL (Reality Lab) team at Meta is helping more people around the world come together and connect through world-class hardware and software. As part of the RL Devices team, we are builders who break down barriers to what is possible. Together we design and build manufacturing processes that transform technology into products.The Manufacturing Design Engineering (MDE) Team has the responsibility for evaluating technologies and identifying supply chain solutions that allow Tech Ops to deliver products to market at scale. Tech Ops is seeking a Manufacturing Design Engineering (MDE) to manage a Optical Module MDE Team. We are looking for an individual willing to work independently to accomplish bold things. Specific hardware development and operations knowledge are required. As Optics MDE in the Devices organization, you will be responsible for both technically proficient work with the engineering design and Operations teams, for critical parts of optics components and module process development and manufacturing. You will collaborate across multiple projects with display, optic product designers to enable novel AR/VR experiences. You will be the interface between the Engineering, Supply Chain, and quality teams to implement and execute comprehensive process and technical solutions for our products.
