The Meta AR team focuses on delivering Meta's vision through Augmented Reality (AR). As a Technical Program Manager, your job will be figuring out what we need to do to build it and deliver it. You'll be a critical member of a multi-disciplinary team contributing to our efforts to gain a scientific understanding of haptics, human and machine perception, audio, input, optics, display technology and translating it into the ultimate AR experience for our users. Our product engineering team explores, develops and delivers new cutting-edge technologies into products. We are focused on integrating and launching new technologies from early concept to launch while iterating, prototyping and realizing the human value and new experiences they open up. As a Technical Program Manager for Electrical Engineering, you will play a key role in the integration of new cutting edge technologies to next gen programs. You will be defining and driving highly complex, cross-functional integration plans for new product introductions and you will guide the electrical engineering execution including planning of requirements, managing schedules, identifying and tracking risks and associated mitigations.
