About the position
At Meta Reality Labs, we aim to bring together the brightest cross-disciplinary minds in one place to deliver on our mission: build tools that help people feel connected, anytime, anywhere. As a Product Design Engineer on the Electromyography (EMG) HW Platforms NTI team, you will be instrumental in designing, building, and testing prototype mechanical systems for future consumer experiences within Facebook's Family of Products. This role involves fast iterative prototyping and collaboration with dynamic, cross-functional teams, including experts in electrical, optical, firmware, software, and research fields. We seek individuals who excel in teamwork, can translate broad definitions into mechanical designs, and can transition these designs into high-volume consumer products. The EMG HW Platforms Team at Meta Reality Labs is seeking a Product Design Engineer with a desire for working across the organization to develop technology and solve complex problems. In this role you will develop innovative EMG hardware platforms for new product experiences, working closely with cross-functional teams to integrate EMG sensors into wearable device products. You will work cross-functionally with teams that include PM, NPI teams, ID, health, NTI, firmware, software, neuroscientists, ML/AI experts and other research experts, to explore new technologies, develop proof-of-concepts, demonstrate feasibility of new EMG hardware platforms and drive these new platforms into various products. The ideal candidate will have experience in designing wearable devices, considering factors like materials, manufacturability, form/factor, and ergonomics, while working with a broad team focused on advancing AR/VR experiences.
