As a Comfort Product Design Engineer at Meta, you will take a critical role in developing future AR Systems. You will become part of a team exploring new concepts through mechanical design, anthropometric modeling and focused user testing, as well as fast iterative prototyping. A wide range of approaches will be explored combining mechanical, optical and electrical techniques to comfort and fitment. We want people who work well in teams, can brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, are able to drive a concept into a prototype and then mature the design to a high-volume consumer product solution. We are looking for someone with a productive mindset who can apply their mechanical and materials engineering expertise to solve problems in creative, insightful ways. Our ideal candidate has a strong fundamental engineering background, appreciation for Human Factors, Prototyping skills, 3D CAD capability, and experience designing and manufacturing consumer technology and wearable products.
Comfort Product Design Engineer Responsibilities
