These highly collaborative teams are responsible for our organization's engineering and technical operations, performing cutting-edge and complex scientific research and development that is 'defined as we build' to create new AR products, features, and marketplaces. Activities include undertaking research, design, development, and implementation activities to improve Magic Leap's AR products and services; designing, constructing, testing, and operating equipment; ensuring that standards of quality, cost, safety, reliability, timeliness, and performance are met in production processes; interpreting plans, drawings, and specifications; and collaborating across all Magic Leap teams to ensure our AR product and features provide a high-quality, immersive experience, meeting and exceeding our customer's needs and our business objectives.

As a Sr Manufacturing Engineer, Process on Magic Leap's Manufacturing Engineering team, you will take a demanding set of functions and turn them into the optics technology that makes the magic work. In this role you will monitor and control eyepieces, fabrication, and product performance for continuous improvement. In addition, you will manage tool productivity, set maintenance plans, and yields, conduct data analysis to improve processes, and manage quality measurement for their tool/process.

This role works closely with Quality and R&D engineers to improve product yield and to troubleshoot process flow from root causes to equipment tuning. In addition, our Manufacturing Engineers own and lead the stability, improvement, and performance functions of the tools, while driving continuous improvement to the tool/process to meet customer satisfaction and the requirements of the manufacturing ramp.

This role is based on our Plantation, FL (HQ) office and will require you to come into our office regularly. Relocation assistance offered.
