The Opportunity
Meta’s Reality Labs team is shaping the future of consumer electronics in the emerging Augmented and Virtual Reality industries. As a Surfacing Designer on the Industrial Design team, you will help bring our next-generation hardware and experiences to life. You will work within a small tight-knit team of Surfacing Designers to learn about tangent/curvature/acceleration continuity, what makes NURBS be NURBS, and challenge yourself to build complex forms cleanly and beautifully while managing numerous changes. You will have the opportunity to develop production-ready geometry that captures the desires of Industrial Designers, Mechanical Engineers, and Manufacturing Engineers that will live in millions of homes. You have a strong sense of manufacturing requirements, along with a good sense of design/aesthetics/flow in art, photography, automobiles, boats, airplanes, etc. You love to build, whether it be tinkering projects, house renovations, bicycles, musical instruments, or cars. You can visualize shapes in your head: imagine them, spin them, and express those shapes in CAD or words or clay. You are capable of being the paintbrush of the artist, the chisel of the sculptor, intuiting and expressing what they want. You manage your time, energy, and kindness within ever-changing and often challenging work schedules.ResponsibilitiesCreate and update 3D CAD surfaces and solid bodies to assist the product development process and for cross-discipline use.Help define and refine the visual and physical language of our brand through the design of our hardware.Work collaboratively with multiple cross-functional teams on complex technical programs in a fast-paced environment.Utilize your good aesthetic and mechanical sensibilities to conceive elegant and effective solutions to complex geometric, ergonomic, and mechanical challenges.Create Class-A production-ready 3D CAD surfaces and bodies using PTC's Creo software across multiple projects and product categories.Support the development of category-defining products, helping Meta change the world through design.Minimum QualificationsA Bachelor's degree or relevant experience in Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.3+ years of professional experience as a 3D Modeler or CAD Surfacing Specialist, developing complex parts for industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, wearable tech, sports equipment, etc.Experience designing parts with consideration for plastic injection molding, CNC machining, and metal forming/casting/extrusion/stamping best practices.Mid-level knowledge of a high-end parametric CAD surfacing software such as PTC Creo or Siemens NX, including “master/skeleton” modeling for highly integrated assemblies.Experience managing complex part interactions and assemblies.Understanding of product architecture and internal component layout.Experience utilizing rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D printing and CNC machining to help validate part design.Preferred QualificationsExperience utilizing anthropometric data to guide the design of products that directly interface with the human body.For those who live in or expect to work from California if hired for this position, please click here for additional information.About MetaMeta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology.
