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.

Optical Manufacturing Design Engineering (MDE) Responsibilities:

• Drive manufacturing process innovation in Optic solutions for AR/VR products.
• Work with Hardware Engineering, Sourcing, Quality and Tech Ops Team to identify, audit and select the best suppliers’ partner (SPOR) to manufacture our products.
• Responsible for optic film lamination, coating, vision active alignment, lens manufacturing, minimizing foreign material contamination, die cut, laser cutting, lens/display coating process development (i.e. coating, IR ink development, optical coating).
• Process DFM, process bring up and qualifications.
• Develop MP intend equipment, process and materials.
• Set CTQ criteria to validate key processes.
• Run statistical analysis from data collected through trials & investigations.
• Work with the internal Quality Team to define quality characterization, inspection methodology, and qualification of components before components ship to downstream vendor.
• Work with hardware engineering, quality and Reliability Teams to debug optical/display issues related to Display/Optics module development from NPI to ramp. Identify root cause and provide improvements via process optimization and qualifications.
• Travel to vendor sites to validate and support development.

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS degree or higher in Optical or Display, Mechanical Engineering, chemical, Physics or equivalent experience.
• 5 years of experience in display and/or optical manufacturing.
• Experience partnering with multiple cross functional partners.
• Experience with consumer electronics manufacturing

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with display module assembly processes.
• Experience with FEA optical simulation.
• Experience using PowerPoint, Keynote & presentation skills.
• Experience using UGNX or other CAD programs.
• Familiar with FMEA or other risk assessment methods.

About Meta:Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world.
