Meta's hardware organization is building the next generation of consumer devices — spanning virtual reality headsets, augmented reality glasses, and wearable technology that redefine human connection. The DFX Manufacturing Engineering team plays a central role in translating innovative hardware designs into products that can be manufactured at scale with precision, reliability, and cost efficiency.

In this role, you will partner with cross-functional design and operations teams to embed manufacturability principles early in the product development cycle, driving successful New Product Introduction across Meta's Reality Labs portfolio.

DFX Manufacturing Engineer (APAC) Responsibilities

• Apply DFX principles — including Design for Manufacturability, Design for Assembly, and Design for Test — during early product development stages to reduce manufacturing risk and improve yield
• Collaborate with Mechanical, Electrical, Optical, and Industrial Design teams to identify and resolve manufacturability gaps before design freeze, influencing product architecture decisions
• Define and qualify manufacturing processes for precision assembly, optical module integration, and packaging lines in partnership with contract manufacturers and automation suppliers
• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation including process flows, standard operating procedures, line layouts, fixture and equipment specifications, and qualification packages
• Lead tolerance stack-up and GD&T analysis to ensure design intent is achievable within production process capabilities
• Drive statistical process control initiatives using DOE, CpK, and GR&R methodologies to establish and monitor process capability at contract manufacturing sites
• Support engineering builds and pilot runs by troubleshooting assembly issues, conducting root cause and failure analysis, and implementing corrective actions in collaboration with factory operations teams
• Partner with Product Cost Engineering and Supply Chain teams to identify and execute cost reduction opportunities through design changes, process optimization, and material substitution without compromising quality or reliability
• Evaluate and qualify new manufacturing technologies, automation solutions, and supplier capabilities to support scaling of consumer electronics products from NPI through mass production
• Communicate manufacturing readiness status, risk assessments, and mitigation plans to cross-functional stakeholders and program leadership throughout the product development lifecycle

Minimum Qualifications

• 6+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering for consumer electronics hardware products
• Experience applying DFX methodologies including Design for Manufacturability and Design for Assembly in a product development environment
• Experience developing and qualifying precision mechanical assembly processes, including fixture design, process documentation, and yield target setting
• Experience with statistical analysis methods including DOE, CpK, and GR&R for process capability assessment and improvement
• Experience collaborating with contract manufacturers and suppliers to bring hardware products from NPI through mass production

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Experience working directly with contract manufacturers and component suppliers in the Asia Pacific region
• Proficiency in tolerance stack-up analysis and GD&T as applied to high-precision consumer electronics assemblies
• Familiarity with automation and machine design for high-precision, high-volume manufacturing environments
• Experience with module assembly or display integration processes relevant to wearable or AR/VR devices
