Mechanical Design Engineer: Robotics Hardware Engineering, Surfacing

At Meta, we're building the future of human connection and the technology that enables it. This means continuously inventing and developing technologies for the next generation of experiences. To continue our efforts in the path to AGI, and as we move closer to a future with intelligent robots and advanced AI models, we're hiring talent across a broad range of disciplines from robotics hardware to system software, machine perception, and artificial intelligence. These crucial projects and initiatives taken on by this team have never been done before, so you have a rare opportunity to help us create new ways people connect around the world. The Meta Robotics Hardware team is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer focused on Robot Design with expertise in both advanced complex surface modeling and design for safety to exist between mechanical and industrial design teams. You will own the mechanical design of structural components, impact-attenuating structures, and human-contact surfaces — ensuring every external element of the product is both aesthetically refined and engineered to protect people during interaction. This role requires someone equally comfortable running crush-force calculations and building Class-A surfacing in CAD. This role will be part of a ME team responsible for concept development, analytical modeling, prototype design, first article build, fabrication, vendor management, and testing. Candidates should be comfortable working in a high ambiguity, fast paced environment where full system requirements are seldom known. This team is dedicated to building hardware that enables learning through data collection and system testing.
