Summary:

As an Audio Mechanical Engineering group in the Acoustic Render (Speaker) Team (ART) at Meta, you will have a high degree of device architectural and audio transducer design and integration influence on our acoustic custom speaker modules and microphone capture arrays. Together with your colleagues, you will contribute to the development of the next cutting-edge social first wearable hardware devices.The HW Wearables Team cares and designs for end-users to be frictionless and naturally connected with their loved ones in compelling device form factors where sound is a vital facet.You will become part of a team exploring and developing early ideas, prototypes to mass-production of consumer electronics. You will lead mechanical engineers in a cross-functional setting requiring collaboration and curiosity in domains of mechanical and electroacoustic engineering. We are looking for individual with experience in mechanical engineering fundamentals, prototyping skills, CAD fluency, manufacturing process knowledge, experience designing consumer electronics and a track-record of leading mechanical engineers' deliveries across sites and time-zones.The Wearable Audio Technology Team has comprehensive acoustic facilities, equipment, working methods and overall ownership of the full device acoustic speaker performance all the way from architectural infant concepts to mass production.
