As a System Engineer at Facebook Reality Labs, you will be responsible for productizing a sensor subsystem that is core to delivering transformative experiences in Oculus AR/VR products. You will join an agile team that is laser-focused on incubating winning prototypes, establishing new process capabilities with supply-chain partners, and releasing product sub-systems that are fully hardened for high-volume manufacturing (HVM). We want someone who can lead a cross-functional team that comprises a wide range of disciplines, who works through others and goes between brainstorming big ideas and paying relentless attention to critical performance, yield, and integration milestones. Based on a robust engineering background, candidates should have earned their track record of bringing multiple products from concept into HVM.

• Design & development of sensor technologies that integrate into the Oculus AR/VR product roadmap.
• Define sub-system requirements with the product team, then deliver AR/VR hardware, software, and calibration that meets specifications. This includes: hardware (optics, electronics, mechanics, silicon, sensor, data-communication), software (computer vision algorithms, calibration, modeling, analysis), and performance analysis.
• Deliver prototypes and Plan of Record systems.
• Support the TPM in evaluation, validation, and delivery to specs by metrology, user studies, safety studies, FEMA analysis, environmental analysis, and dogfooding.
• Collaborate closely with other AR/VR subcomponents and systems and ensure successful integration.
• Establish processes and quality testing necessary for delivery of robust/reliable software.
• Engage with all internal stake-holders and users across multiple research and engineering teams.
• Define testing and qualification plans at different stages of hardware development, from concept to product ramp.
• Identify external partnerships and work with the TPM and corresponding engineer to manage the partnership.
• Identify key hardware and software risks and work with the team to develop and implement contingencies.
• Document information necessary for manufacturing, calibration, testing, and integration.
• Able to lead ambiguous programs to completion with little oversight or clear definition.

• BS or MS in Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Experience designing consumer products, at least 1 full product life cycle concept to launch.
• 5+ years cross-functional system experience, working through others.
• Product development experience.
• Development and execution experience in building process on a manufacturing scale.
