About the role
Meta is seeking a visiting hardware engineer to join Meta Superintelligence Labs. You should have a keen interest in producing new, open science to make embodied agents more intelligent.
Responsibilities
•
Robot repair and maintenance: Diagnose and repair commercial robots following established repair protocols; perform routine preventative maintenance to minimize downtime.
•
Hardware fabrication: Operate 3D printing software (e.g., slicer tools, CAD viewers) to produce replacement and custom parts; assemble printed components into functional subassemblies.
•
Data collection support: Partner with data collection operators to swap out broken components quickly, keep devices charged and staged, and triage hardware issues that surface mid-session.
•
Inventory and documentation: Track spare parts, consumables, and printed components; log repairs and failure modes to help identify recurring issues.
•
Workspace upkeep: Maintain a safe, organized hardware lab and charging area.
