Job Description

Manufacturing Test Engineer for Calibration delivers full end-to-end tracking calibration solutions for Meta Realty Labs AR/VR products, with involvement in computer vision, robotics, sensor fusion. You will drive conceptual hardware design with internal and external cross-functional partners early in the product exploration phase and validate the first article in the lab or onsite. You will lead the end-to-end development of software and hardware integration with first-party or third-party partners, which includes calibration software pipeline, instrument control, robotic/motion platform control, data capture and process, as well as integration of advance algorithms. You will lead documenting and troubleshooting station hardware and software issues on test and calibration systems and bridge to the production. You will be a self-driven individual working in a cross-functional team environment and be responsible to lead the design, development, and implementation of factory test/calibration systems. You will have the opportunity to work with product designer, electrical engineers and computer vision scientists on cutting-edge AR/VR technologies. You will enforce and ensure that manufacturability, testability and cost-effective solutions are implemented to deliver top quality tracking system calibrations. This position will be responsible for both NTI and NPI developments and bridge to sustaining support of mass production.
