Product Cost Engineer, Capital Equipment — Meta Reality Labs Product Operations

Job description

Be part of building new, innovative hardware that redefines the way people work, play, and connect! As a Capex Product Cost Engineer at Meta Reality Labs, you will own the financial health of the capital equipment investment behind the AR Glasses portfolio — from early process concept and line architecture through ramp. Capital is one of the largest and least reversible commitments in a hardware program: decisions made at process definition lock in tooling, automation, and test capacity for years. You will team up cross-functionally with Product Operations, Strategic Sourcing, Hardware engineering, Tooling Engineering, Manufacturing Design Engineering, Design for Manufacturing/Test, Test Engineering and other cross-functional teams to set capex targets, drive the capital budget, and build the intergenerational re-use strategy that compounds savings across the portfolio. You'll influence process and product architecture through trade-off analysis — cycle time vs. capital, automation vs. labor, dedicated vs. portfolio re-use.
