Job description

Summary:

At 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 focus on electronics integration and packaging. This role is pivotal in tackling novel mechanical and electrical packaging integration problems we face including designing and developing complex robotics that balance ergonomics, performance, reliability, ID, and usability while maintaining the highest safety and quality standards. This role will be part of a ME team responsible for concept development, analytical modeling, prototype design, fabrication, vendor management, and testing. Candidates should be able to work in a high ambiguity, fast-moving environment where full-system requirements are seldom known. This team is dedicated to building hardware that enables learning through data collection and testing.

Required Skills:

Mechanical Engineer: Electronics Packaging and Sensor Integration Responsibilities:

1. Design of humanoid robot components and systems that integrate sensors, electronics, and structure, and mechatronics

2. PCB and flex PCB mechanical definition, cooling, and integration. Responsibilities include interconnect solution considering DFMA, shock and vibration robustness, debugging, and serviceability

3. Supporting prototype fabrication and builds: Working with internal/external partners to support part fabrication and robot builds, fixtures and assembly tooling design, assembly procedures

4. Performance testing and failure analysis: Build subsystem test fixtures, design tests, create test plans, perform tests, measure and analyze data, and refine design assumptions

5. Work closely with industrial design on overall packaging form, keep-in/keep-out volumes

6. Collaboration: Work closely with a cross-functional team of engineers (EE, SW, Firmware) to deliver complete technical solutions

7. Sustaining engineering: Troubleshooting root-cause of mechanical failures, implementing improved designs, testing effectiveness of change

Minimum Qualifications:
