Meta(Meta Platforms)岗位:Mechanical Design Engineer: Robotics Hardware Engineering, DFMA Responsibilities
Drive DFMA principles across the full mechanical design lifecycle of robot platforms— from concept through low-volume production
Explore and prototype alternate manufacturing methods/processes (investment casting, die casting, molding, additive) as alternative for machining for larger structural components
Work directly with design engineers to simplify part geometry, reduce fastener count, consolidate components, and minimize assembly steps without compromising performance
Develop and maintain design guidelines, tolerance stacks, and assembly specifications tailored to robotic systems (actuators, linkages, structural chassis, cable routing, skin/shell enclosures)
Perform manufacturing feasibility assessments on new designs; identify risk areas and propose design changes early in the development cycle
Lead DFM reviews with internal teams and external manufacturing partners (CNC, sheet metal, injection molding, die casting, additive manufacturing)
Define and optimize assembly sequences, fixturing strategies, and joining methods (threaded fasteners, adhesives, press fits, snap fits, welding)
Create and maintain Bill of Materials (BOM) cost models; weight and cost reduction initiatives through material selection, process optimization, and part consolidation
Collaborate closely with electrical, firmware, and controls engineers to ensure integrated system-level manufacturability
Support supplier development — qualify processes, conduct site visits, and establish inspection criteria for critical-to-function features and interfaces
Develop and document standard work instructions and assembly aids for prototype and production builds
Collaboration:Work closely with a cross-functional team of engineers (EE, SW, Firmware) to deliver complete technical solutions
Sustaining engineering: Troubleshooting root-cause of mechanical failures, implementing improved designs, testing effectiveness of change
Minimum Qualifications
7+ years experience in Mechanical Design Engineering with focused on DFMA
BS degree in Mechanical Engineering
Experience designing complex electro-mechanical, tightly integrated, and consumer level solutions
Deep working knowledge and prior experience with component manufacturing processes: CNC machining, injection molding, die casting, sheet metal fabrication, and additive manufacturing
Experience with SOLIDWORKS, Siemens NX or similar CAD tools
Experience with rapid prototyping manufacturing processes and materials
Experience managing time-sensitive projects through to completion while balancing evolving priorities and a broad range of stakeholders
Experience in tolerance analysis, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T per ASME Y14.5)
Experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Experience with tolerance analysis tools and methodologies (RSS, Monte Carlo, worst-case)
Familiarity with common joining and fastening methods and their trade-offs in robotic assemblies
Strong communication skills with the ability to influence design decisions across multidisciplinary teams
Experience with lightweighting strategies (topology optimization, lattice structures, composite materials)
Background in high-mix/low-volume transitioning to mid-volume production environments
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with plastic injection molding
Knowledge of reliability engineering concepts (FMEA, HALT/HASS, life testing) as they relate to mechanical design
Direct experience with robotic systems — BLDC motors, actuators, gearboxes, linkage mechanisms
Experience driving and leading projects from cradle to grave
