Industrial Design Architect

Meta's Reality Labs team is shaping the future of consumer electronics in the emerging Augmented and Virtual Reality industries. As an Industrial Design Architect on the Reality Labs ID team, you will help bring next generation hardware and experiences to life.

You bring creative problem solving and hands-on mechanical design skills to create delightful, holistically considered products. You have experience designing, engineering, and shipping consumer products. And you excel working collaboratively with cross-discipline teams.

From developing ergonomic solutions to addressing complex architectural challenges, from smile-inducing mechanisms to innovative manufacturing processes, you will work tirelessly with the ID team to create products as amazing as the experiences they enable. A deep mechanical aptitude and a high degree of DFM expertise will allow you to take things from "outlandish idea" to "plan of record". You will need to move quickly between high-level experience concepts and detailed, functional prototypes that will inform the product decisions and help our teams make the impossible possible.
