Systems Engineering Process Specialist

Summary:As a Hardware System Process Specialist at Meta’s Reality Labs, you will lead development of the systems engineering process for our upcoming VR products, help drive the overall process and roadmap, integrate with the PDP, and be a part of the teams designing, building, and validating products for future consumer VR experiences. We want people who work well in teams, can brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, thrive in ambiguity, and are excited to build the processes that help transition prototypes into high-volume consumer products for all of MR engineering.The Reality Labs Hardware System Process Specialist will lead the system process definition for design convergence of complex and novel sub-systems through final testing and validation for our end users, enabling delivery state-of-the-art consumer MR systems. This spans all aspects of the technology from sensing systems, display/optics systems, input devices, PCBs, and mechanical systems, to deliver full MR headsets. The role requires expert technical communication with cross-functional teams across industrial design, hardware engineering, supply chain and core technology groups. This role requires excellent understanding of systems integration, verification and validation, and system engineering processes.We’re looking for a systems process specialist who will build and manage the system process implementation.
