Manufacturing Test Engineer(fatp)

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Shanghai, China +2

This role is for a Manufacturing Test Engineer in Meta's Reality Lab organization, focusing on developing and deploying hardware test systems with manufacturing partners. The engineer will troubleshoot test equipment and automation systems, define product test strategy, evaluate test equipment, and lead integration into data tracking networks. Responsibilities include developing and implementing manufacturing test strategy, designing and assembling test setups, defining test requirements, troubleshooting issues, and coordinating with various teams (Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality, Vendors). The role requires experience in FATP testing, consumer electronics vendors, hardware development, test automation, and managing vendor teams. While the role mentions integrating AI tools and adhering to ethical AI practices, its core function is in manufacturing test engineering, not AI/ML development.

What you'd actually do

  1. Development and implementation of manufacturing test strategy during development and production phases of product lifecycle.
  2. Work with Engineering and vendor test teams to design and assemble bench setups and test fixtures
  3. Work with engineering team to identify the best supplier/partner to meet product requirements from both technical perspective as well as supply chain and manufacturing considerations
  4. Develop test requirements and methodology with Engineering team, implement manufacturing tests at vendor sites, troubleshoot and solve issues during product development and manufacturing ramp
  5. Interface directly with the Engineering, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Quality, and Vendor teams to assist in the development of test procedures, including First Article, Reliability, Environmental, Production and FATP Testing
