The Meta AR team focuses on delivering Meta's vision through Augmented Reality (AR). As a Technical Program Manager, your job will be figuring out what we need to do to build it and deliver it. You'll be a critical member of a multi-disciplinary team contributing to our efforts to gain a scientific understanding of haptics, human and machine perception, audio, input, optics, display technology and translating it into the ultimate AR experience for our users. Our product engineering team explores, develops and delivers new cutting-edge technologies into products. We are focused on integrating and launching new technologies from early concept to launch while iterating, prototyping and realizing the human value and new experiences they open up.As a Technical Program Manager for System, you will play a key role in the definition, planning and execution of our next gen programs. You will guide a broad cross-functional team across the phase gated product development process, including planning of product features and requirements, managing schedules, identifying and tracking risks and associated mitigations, and managing system level builds leading to product qualification. You will be responsible for communication of program status and risk to program stakeholders. In this role, you will have a major impact on future products. We look for Technical Program Managers who have a strong technical foundation and are natural motivators, cross-functional relationship builders, and champions for driving the right level of process to ensure smooth and predictable program execution in a fast-paced innovative environment.
