Job description

# Mechanical Design Engineer: Robotics Hardware Engineering, DFMARedmond, WA Hardware+ 4 moreApply nowAt Meta, we're building the future of human connection and the technology that enables it. This means continuously inventing and developing technologies for the next generation of experiences.To continue our efforts in the path to AGI, and as we move closer to a future with intelligent robots and advanced AI models, we're hiring talent across a broad range of disciplines from robotics hardware to system software, machine perception, and artificial intelligence. These crucial projects and initiatives taken on by this team have never been done before, so you have a rare opportunity to help us create new ways people connect around the world.The Meta Robotics Hardware team is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer with a extensive experience in Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA). In this role, you will ensure that complex electromechanical systems — actuators, structural components, integrated sensor packages, and cladding — are designed from the ground up for efficient, repeatable, and future-scalable production. You'll work at the intersection of robot design, materials science, and manufacturing engineering to bring novel platforms from prototype to low volume production. This role will be part of a ME team responsible for concept development, analytical modeling, prototype design, first article build, fabrication, vendor management, and testing. Candidates should be comfortable working in a high ambiguity, fast paced environment where full system requirements are seldom known. This team is dedicated to building hardware that enables learning through data collection and system testing.---## Mechanical Design Engineer: Robotics Hardware Engineering, DFMA Responsibilities* Drive DFMA principles across the full mechanical design lifecycle of robot platforms— from concept through low-volume production
