Description For Prototyping Engineer - CNC Machinist

Meta Reality Labs supports its goal of connecting the world by building various products, including RL devices. Many of these products are custom designed for our requirements and integrate advanced technologies. We are seeking a CNC machinist & prototyper to join our state-of-the-art mechanical prototyping facility.

This role will be responsible for programming, machining, working with engineers to debug designs, assisting with test fixture development, assembly work, and so on. Our products utilize a variety of materials (from plastics to hard metals) and processes, and the CNC Prototyping Machinist will either be familiar and experienced with these technologies or be able to quickly get up to speed on new technologies.

The prototyping facility includes advanced 5-and 3-axis CNC machine tools, laser cutting, 5-axis water-jet cutting, and manual machine tools. The CNC Machinist is responsible for the safe setup, operation, and maintenance of this equipment, including tooling and fixture specification and procurement.

The machinist will work closely with the mechanical engineering team to solve design and manufacturing issues. We move fast and are looking for a person who is driven to find the fastest, most efficient ways to go from CAD models to finished parts in real materials.

Responsibilities:

  • CAM programming and operation of all CNC and manual machining equipment.
  • CNC Machining of complex parts in metal and plastic.
  • Interact with design engineers on part functionality, advise on the part suitability for machining.
  • Clear communication of timelines and expectations to other groups within Meta.
  • Improve the systems and tools we rely on via continuous improvement.
  • Responsible for part quality and inspection.
  • Ensuring that machines are properly maintained, that stock material supplies are adequate and that the shop is operated in a safe and workmanlike manner.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • At least 5 relevant years of experience in a prototyping environment with advanced CNC machine tools.
  • Experience running 5-axis milling equipment.
  • Skills in CAM software and CNC programming (Autodesk Fusion, exposure to other softwares is a plus).
  • Skills in CAD software (Autodesk Fusion, Siemens NX, Solidworks) and fixture design.
  • Skilled prototyper of complex electromechanical assemblies and familiar with typical shop tools.
  • Computer skills and knowledge to pick-up new software quickly and efficiently. Focus around software used in designing and building things.
  • Creative problem solver that have skills to figure out ways to get things done quickly, efficiently, and professionally.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience taking products from concept through to functional prototype or production.
  • Associates Degree in machining, engineering, or fabrication. Engineering degree is a plus.
  • Exposure to code management and software engineering basics.
  • Experience with other technologies used in a modern digital prototyping lab, including additive, laser cutting, injection molding, and water jet.
  • Experience with Wire EDM

Join Meta Reality Labs and be part of shaping the future of immersive technologies!
