Display Structural and Thermal Engineer

At Meta Reality Labs, we aim to bring together the brightest cross-disciplinary minds in one place to deliver on our mission: build tools that help people feel connected, anytime, anywhere. As a Display Structural and Thermal Engineer at Meta Reality Labs, you will lead structural and thermal design and simulation for advanced display modules in VR, wearables, and exciting new products. You'll join a world-class display engineering team, developing products from concept to mass production. This role requires extensive cross-functional collaboration, proactive problem-solving, knowledge of structural and thermal simulations, and expertise in engineering principles and material properties.

Display Structural and Thermal Engineer Responsibilities:

• Lead structural and thermal design for VR and wearable display modules
• Develop physics-based structural and thermal simulation models to drive design and failure analysis, using CAD, FEA, and CFD software
• Drive display module designs for enhanced structural/thermal performance, ergonomics, form factor, and weight
• Identify program risks, create simulation/validation plans, and drive FACA through close collaboration with cross-functional teams
• Validate display module and system-level structural and thermal performance via rapid prototyping
• Explore, validate, and integrate next generation display and thermal technologies
• Lead collaboration with system PD, system thermal, mechanical, electrical, and optical teams

• Bachelor's Degree in mechanical, thermal engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
• Experience with structural and thermal simulation software (e.g., ANSYS, ABAQUS, FloEFD, COMSOL, etc)
• Understanding of engineering first principles, material properties, heat transfer, and thermal/fluid sciences
• Experience in design of experiments, rapid prototyping, empirical testing, and model correlation
• Effective communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on finite element analysis or thermal, or related field
• Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Julia) for model development and automation
• Familiarity in using AI tools to accelerate product design and development
• Experience developing consumer electronics
• Familiarity with advanced thermal materials (e.g., graphite spreaders, aerogels, heatpipes, vapor chamber)
