- Root cause issues once devices are assembled and unforeseen issues arise
- Work on truly unsolved issues in the Augmented Reality (AR) industry
- Create new ways to evaluate, understand, and solve different design challenges
- Collaborate closely with various teams including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, new product integration, human factors, optics, materials, and experimentalist teams
If you enjoy technical challenges, can consider problems from a system level perspective, like making an impact, and take pleasure in communicating complex findings in a manner that all audiences can understand, this may be a position for you.
*This role is ideally based at our Plantation, FL headquarters, but we will consider remote arrangements for exceptional candidates who are a strong fit for the position*
What you’ll do

Couple first principle physics understanding with ANSYS FEA simulation tools (Mechanical and LS-Dyna) to evaluate Magic Leap devices for:
- Optical metrics
- Robustness Under Normal User Loading
- Drop Robustness
- Fatigue Performance of Dynamic Components
- Human Comfort
- Manufacturability and Ease of Assembly
- Appropriate material selection
- Identify and communicate risk assessments, recommended optimizations, and other findings to various internal stakeholders
- Grow Magic Leap’s ability to properly characterize materials and adhesives by guiding testing efforts
- Guide the development of test protocol for sub-assembly level components
- Create custom scripts to post-process results into meaningful findings
- Help other teams understand device level risks and focus their efforts appropriately
- Think creatively to identify new ways to push the performance of our device and drive those investigations to completion
Qualifications
- 8+ years of professional experience in structural simulation
- Minimum of a Master’s Degree in Mechanical, Structural, or Aerospace engineering
- Strong understanding of mechanics and FEA theory, and experience putting said knowledge into practice
- Demonstrated system level thinking and understanding
- Highly self-motivated and capable of balancing different priorities effectively
- Fearlessness in asking questions to quickly and effectively comprehend stakeholders needs and/or challenges
- Knowledge of ANSYS Mechanical and/or ANSYS LS-Dyna
- Excellent communication skills and a demonstrated ability to communicate to stakeholders with different backgrounds and motivations
- An unrelenting drive to identify the optimal solutions, find the cause of a given failure, and ensure problems are considered comprehensively with a physics mindset
It’s exciting if you also have
- Knowledge of at least one programming/scripting language (Matlab, Python, etc.)
- Knowledge of statistics
- Experience with plastics and mass manufacturing processes
- Demonstrated ability to lead a team/effort (does not have to be in a formal capacity)
