Magic Leap could be your place if you want to be part of a united team where everyone is empowered and trusted to make an impact. At Magic Leap you can explore innovative solutions and use your talents to solve real-world problems. Working alongside industry experts you can grow your skills and amplify human potential at the intersection of the physical and digital worlds. We know that successful change and progress accelerate diverse perspectives. As we shape our future everyones voice matters. Together we can reimagine the world of work and with our bold partners make the impossible possible.
The opportunity
As a Staff NPI Opto-Mechanical Engineer within our Manufacturing team you will be responsible for identifying critical requirements understanding system sensitivities developing execution strategies and mapping out key performance metrics necessary to achieve product goals. This role will report into the New Product Introduction (NPI) team and will act as a strategic partner across NPI engineering research product design supply chain product management and manufacturing teams to tackle some of our biggest technical challenges.
Drive the transition of cutting-edge opto-mechanical designs from R&D prototypes into high-volume production. Youll own design for manufacturability prototyping test methods custom tooling automation development vendor transfer and ramp-to-volume of miniature optical subsystems for AR/MR devices.
Location: Ideally wed like to hire in Plantation Florida.For the right candidate our team is open to considering ahybrid hire. Regardless you will be required to travel up to 30% of the time to our HQ and/or Boulder CO locations.
What youll do
- Develop Manufacturing Processes Design and implement innovative manufacturing solutions for emerging optical display technologies from concept through execution.
- Lead NPI Engineering design efforts for tooling and process equipment to support opto-mechanical assemblies from early concept through engineering phases (EVT/DVT/PVT) and production ramp.
- Architect prototype and implement high precision automated factory tooling robotic assembly stations and production-scale fixtures for optical module assemblies and alignment methods to support sub micron/arcmin requirements
- Design and qualify high precision fixtures jigs end-of-arm tools vision-guided alignment solutions and machine-vision inspection systems to boost throughput and accuracy
- Create and review ASME Y14.5/ISO GPS-compliant CAD models and drawings (Creo SolidWorks) with full GD&T based on product and process design requirements.
- Perform tolerance-stack analysis for process equipment and feedback into product design analysis.
- Drive Manufacturing Solutions Develop prototype and optimize manufacturing processes ensuring smooth transitions from new product introduction (NPI) to high-volume production.
- Vendor Evaluation & Integration Assess and collaborate with vendors contract manufacturers and supply chain partners to ensure process capability quality standards and production readiness.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration Partner with internal teams including Opto-mechanical Manufacturing Test and Optical Engineering to integrate feedback optimize cost and performance define technology roadmaps and strategies and establish key milestone criteria.
- Participate in design reviews mentor junior engineers and document assembly/alignment procedures and best practices
- Act as the primary point of contact for DFM and DFA related input in component and assembly designs to ensure smooth transition to automated assembly and inspection
- Risk Management & Process Optimization Conduct risk assessments (PFMEA) tradeoff analyses and process experimentation to enhance manufacturing strategies and mitigate potential challenges.
- Manufacturing Tool & Process Qualification Design and qualify manufacturing tools fixtures and assembly aides to enhance production efficiency and scalability.
- Qualify manufacturing tools and processes; oversee vendor evaluation qualification and technology transfer
- Assess process capability (CPK/MSA) analyses and trade-off studies
- Use production data and statistical tools (JMP MATLAB) to drive continuous improvement in yield quality and cycle time
- Product Readiness & Execution Establish and refine product readiness strategies execution processes and transition requirements to achieve high-quality high-yield manufacturing.
- Data-Driven Design Feedback Leverage production data benchmarks and performance analyses to inform design improvements and optimize cost quality and manufacturing efficiency.
The experience you bring
- 7 years hands-on experience in opto-mechanical design prototype build and NPI/manufacturing engineering
