Introduction

ProtoMake is where new ideas start. Our teams provide everything needed to make and test the cutting-edge technologies that enable products at *** Reality Labs: mechanical and electrical design, machining, printing, casting, molding, assembly, laser processing, and repair. We move fast and are looking for people who are driven to find quick, efficient ways to realize ideas in real materials on complex geometries and compressed timelines.

We get deeply involved in the hardware development process, partnering with the product design and industrial design teams to apply our specific areas of expertise to their challenging problems. We take pride in being more than just a prototype production service to our customers.

This role is the backbone of the service we provide to our partners.

Make updates in task management platform to keep requesters apprised of job status.

Using existing SOPs, maintain equipment and ensure all tools and materials needed are on hand to ensure continuous production.

Minimum Qualifications:

Experience with digital design tools (2D or 3D) such as Fusion 360 or other CAD/CAM software.
