At Reality Labs Research (RL-R), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences.This role requires collaboration with engineers and multiple project team members in the design and development of detailed layouts utilizing multiple types of PCBs; rigid, FPC, rigid-FPC, aluminum backing, etc. Your responsibilities include performing complex CAD and CAE tasks requiring extensive knowledge of software capabilities, proposing PCB design trade-offs, solving electrical design, packaging, and manufacturing issues. You will act as a liaison between RL-R Hardware and the PCB Fab/Assembly vendors to determine stack-ups, design constraints, new technologies, and solve any manufacturing concerns.
