At Meta, we're building the future of human connection and the technology that enables it, continuously inventing for the next generation of experiences. To move toward advanced machine intelligence, we're enabling AI to go beyond vision and interact with the physical world. As we move closer to a future with intelligent robots and advanced AI models, we're hiring talent across robotics hardware, system software, machine perception, and artificial intelligence. You'll tackle open problems in robotics and AI, with the opportunity to shape new ways people connect around the world. We build complex electromechanical hardware, and the parts that move are the highest-risk elements of any program. This role owns failure analysis for hardware that fails design-verification, qualification, and production testing — from first symptom through root cause to a documented, transferable corrective action. You will work in the lab with hardware in your hands, in the data with logs and telemetry, and across electrical engineering, firmware, mechanical engineering, and quality teams to close the loop on defects before they reach a product. Scope spans actuators and drive systems, precision mechanisms, sensors, and the electronics and firmware that control them.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience 5+ years of hands-on failure analysis, reliability, or test engineering on electromechanical hardware (motors and drives, gearboxes, precision mechanisms, consumer devices, instrumentation, or similar) Demonstrated root-cause methodology: 5-Why, fishbone, fault-tree, DOE, or equivalent, applied to real hardware failures you can talk through in detail Hands-on lab competence: DMM, oscilloscope, power supplies, load/test fixtures, DAQ Experience writing technical FA reports that enable design engineers to act on findings without additional clarification — FA reports that a design engineer can act on without a meeting Familiarity with motor control and firmware concepts: commutation, field-oriented control, current limits, calibration tables, and encoder error sources Working knowledge of

BLDC/PMSM

motors, gear trains, bearings, brakes, and position encoders Working knowledge of quality systems: 8D, PFMEA, DFMEA, control plans, MSA/Gage R&R Experience taking electromechanical assemblies — robotic joints and actuators, or comparable precision hardware — from prototype through DVT/PVT into production Experience querying and building on large test-data pipelines and dashboards Reliability engineering depth: HALT/HASS, Weibull and life-data analysis, rainflow/duty-cycle load-spectrum analysis, accelerated life testing Experience with metrology and analytical FA labs (CT, SEM/EDX, metallography, tribology)
