Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

Summary:

Meta’s Reality Labs team is shaping the future of consumer electronics in the emerging Augmented and Virtual Reality industries. As a Design Architect on the Reality Labs Product Design Engineering team, you will help bring next generation hardware and experiences to life. You bring creative problem solving and hands-on mechanical design skills to create delightful, holistically considered products. You have experience designing, engineering, and shipping consumer products. And you excel working collaboratively with cross-discipline teams. As part of the Concept Architecture division on the AR Product Design Engineering team, you will be working directly with the ID team to create ‘magical’, innovative concepts and prototypes to enable our grand vision for AR Devices. These concepts/prototypes will be grounded in engineering fundamentals through your deep mechanical aptitude and a high degree of DFM expertise where you will be able to take “outlandish ideas” towards “plan of record”. You will be able to move quickly between high-level experience concepts and detailed, functional prototypes that will inform the product decisions and help our teams make the impossible possible.
