Product Design Engineering Intern — AI Glasses
About The Position
Meta Reality Labs is seeking a motivated, self-driven, and passionate Product Design Engineering Intern for its AI Glasses hardware team. The team develops wearable hardware that brings AI capabilities into everyday life. This role focuses on the mechanical design and integration of compact components and assemblies, balancing comfort, appearance, weight, durability, performance, and manufacturability. The intern will work alongside experienced engineers to develop, analyze, prototype, and test mechanical designs and assemblies. With guidance from an engineering mentor, the intern will contribute to a well-scoped hardware project and gain exposure to cross-functional consumer product development, helping shape the next generation of AI glasses.
Requirements
- Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a bachelor's or master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- Foundational knowledge of mechanical engineering principles, including statics, mechanics of materials, and material properties, demonstrated through coursework or project experience.
- Experience creating parts and assemblies using 3D CAD software such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Creo, or CATIA.
- Hands-on experience building, testing, or evaluating mechanical designs through academic, student-team, personal, or professional projects.
- Intent to return to a full-time degree program after completion of the internship.
- Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment.
Nice To Haves
- Prior internship or project experience in mechanical design, wearable devices, or consumer electronics.
- Familiarity with rapid prototyping methods such as 3D printing, CNC machining, or laser cutting.
- Basic understanding of manufacturing processes such as injection molding, die casting, machining, or sheet metal fabrication, and design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly principles.
- Exposure to GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, finite-element analysis, or experimental data analysis.
- Experience with Siemens NX, electromechanical packaging, small mechanisms, or mechanical test fixtures.
- Experience with scripting or data-analysis tools, such as Python or MATLAB, to support testing and analysis.
Responsibilities
- Research, design, and prototype mechanical components and assemblies for AI glasses, with guidance from an engineering mentor.
- Create 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings, and participate in design reviews.
- Prepare mechanical bills of materials, engineering requirements, and supporting design documentation.
- Assist engineers and partners with material selection, manufacturing process selection, and mechanical integration of electronic components.
- Perform basic engineering analyses, including free-body diagrams, fit and clearance checks, weight estimates, and tolerance analysis appropriate to the project.
- Build prototypes and test fixtures; support mechanical, thermal, and environmental testing to evaluate design performance and investigate failures.
- Collaborate with electrical engineering, industrial design, reliability, manufacturing, and relevant technology partners to iterate designs and communicate test results and recommendations.
