Meta
Product Design Manager
Meta, Sunnyvale, California, United States, 94087
The ideal candidate will have a background and hands-on experience in mechanical engineering/product design and complex system design. This leader will be in charge of building up a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and define and implement a workflow for the development of the next generation of custom wearable systems. You will be responsible for the intake of requirements from researchers, engineers, and product managers, you’ll manage program schedules, identify risks and associated mitigation plans, and clearly communicate to program stakeholders. Communication and technical aptitude are critical in this role as you will be the liaison between researchers, mechanical, electrical, and software engineers and you will assist with determining project priorities and feasibility. As an expert in your engineering field, you will be in charge of supervising the ME design and architecture of our custom systems. This is a complex and operationally challenging role that will afford the opportunity to lead the development of technologies that have the potential to change the way humans communicate and interact regardless of distance.
