As an Optical 3D Print Platform System Architect at Meta Reality Labs, you will lead defining 3D print platform system architecture, building and maturing our current generation as well as creating the new generation for additively manufacturing optical lens and devices as part of Meta products, and drive the overall technology strategy & roadmaps with cross-function teams to scale. We want people who: work well in teams, can brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, thrive in ambiguity, able to map trade-off spaces, able to drive a concept into a prototype, and can transition it to mass-production for a high-volume consumer product. This 3DP Platform System Architect will lead the definition and convergence of complex and novel sub-systems required for optical 3D printing aimed at additively mass producing highly customized optical lens and optics for smart and AR headsets. The role requires technical skills and communication with cross-functional teams across hardware engineering, materials engineering, firmware & software engineering, process development and application engineering, partnerships, supply chain, and system integration to mature the technology and scale the product for mass production. This role requires technical understanding and extensive experience of design, modeling, rapid subsystem iteration and validation, and full system development. Starting with a broad engineering background in electrical, mechanical, applied physics, or related fields, we’re looking for a unique system designer or architect. The ideal candidate would have proved track record on systems skills, previous roles driving architecture convergence on complex printing products, and experience with electro-mechanical systems, embedded firmware, feedback control, software, etc. He or she is also able to work collaboratively with experts in different fields to make architectural tradeoffs and drive decisions.
