Mechanical Design Engineer: Robotics Simulation and Modeling

At Meta, we're building the future of human connection and the technology that enables it. This means continuously inventing and developing technologies for the next generation of experiences.

To continue our efforts in the path to AGI, and as we move closer to a future with intelligent robots and advanced AI models, we're hiring talent across a broad range of disciplines from robotics hardware to system software, machine perception, and artificial intelligence. These crucial projects and initiatives taken on by this team have never been done before, so you have a rare opportunity to help us create new ways people connect around the world.

Meta Robotics Studio is seeking a Mechanical Engineer with deep experience in finite element analysis (FEA) and kinematics/dynamics modeling to help design and optimize next-generation humanoid robots. In this role, you will use simulation-driven engineering to influence architecture decisions early, validate designs through detailed analysis, and partner closely with design, controls, hardware, and reliability teams to deliver robust, lightweight, high-performing robotic systems.

You will work across structural performance, weight optimization, drop/shock survivability, and modal/vibration behavior, and also build/own kinematic and energy models to study optimal joint motor placement and power usage across real robot tasks such as walking, stair ascent/descent, and manipulation tasks. This team is dedicated to building hardware that enables learning through data collection and system testing.
