Meta Reality Labs is shaping the future of technology and our Industrial Design team is helping bring the next generation of hardware to life. As an Industrial Design Architect, you will use your hands-on Mechanical Engineering skills to create delightful, holistically considered products. A demonstrated mechanical aptitude and in-depth understanding of industrial design will enable you to take things from “outlandish idea” to “plan of record”.
Job Responsibility:
Collaborate closely with the Industrial Design team to develop technical solutions ranging from high-level experience prototypes to detailed, functional designs
Drive rapid concept exploration, iterative prototyping, and mechanical implementation of inventive design features and mechanisms
Push the state of the art of physical technology integration, component optimization, and manufacturing processes
Create and refine effective ways to address complex ergonomic challenges
Partner closely with Product Design Engineering and other internal teams to enable design intent and rapidly move projects forward
Leverage external partners as needed to implement novel component designs and manufacturing solutions
Travel internationally to support manufacturing builds
Requirements:
A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent industry experience
5+ years of experience developing high-volume consumer electronics or wearable tech products
Expertise in creating high-fidelity mockups, mechanisms, and rapid prototypes
Experience designing plastic and metal parts for high volume manufacturing processes
Expertise in 3D CAD modeling at the detail and assembly level in NX, Creo, or Solidworks, including complex surfacing
Experience working collaboratively with ID, ME, EE, and PM teams
Proven communication, visualization, and problem solving skills
Excelling in highly ambiguous situations
Nice to have:
7+ years of product design and development experience of handheld and/or wearable electronics for high volume manufacturing, including full systems ownership
Experience with highly cosmetic products and working closely with Industrial Design
Experience in Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), statistical tolerance analysis techniques, functional dimensioning, geometric tolerancing
Experience leading technical projects and directing development activities
