At Meta Reality Labs we aim to bring together the brightest cross-disciplinary minds in one place to deliver on our mission: build tools that help people feel connected, anytime, anywhere. As an Electrical Engineer on the AR, MR, or New Technology Team, you will design, build, and test prototype electrical systems for future consumer experiences within Facebook's Family of Products. You will become part of a team exploring new concepts through fast iterative prototyping. You will work cross-functionally with teams that will dynamically change depending on the problem and potentially include mechanical, optical, firmware, software, and research experts. We want people who work well in teams, can take a board definition and implement with electrical schematic and layout, and can transition these designs into a high-volume consumer product. This team develops high volume consumer products and develops technology leading prototypes to inform Reality Lab's roadmap. Our team designs mixed domain high-speed digital circuit boards, an experienced troubleshooter at the board and system level, and has familiarity with consumer product development processes. In the role you will be working with emerging technologies across the AR/MR space with the opportunity to learn from the industry leaders and help Meta achieve its goal of helping people feel connected, anytime, anywhere.
Electrical Engineer - Robotics Research Responsibilities
Own electrical development of highly complex systems delivering and ensuring that electrical systems achieve product goals
Lead electrical architecture definition or provide technical leadership to a larger development team
Design schematics, direct board layout, lead cross-functional design reviews and draft design documentations
Conduct feasibility studies and analysis to evaluate new technologies and components. Propose innovative solutions to enhance product performance and features
Manage bring up and debug, support manufacturing and assembly build
Collaborate in a team environment and work across engineering disciplines to develop systems and manage trade offs across electronics, mechanics, optics, sensors, haptics, firmware and software
Work in distributed team environment
Contribute to building and sustaining internal community through recruitment and mentorship
Inform prioritization of work across teams and disciplines and actively participate in resolving technical conflicts
Travel both domestically and internationally
Minimum Qualifications
8+ years of industry experience in electrical design
BS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
Proven knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals
Experience with schematic and board design using Cadence OrCAD, Altium or equivalent
Experience with use of oscilloscopes, high speed digital test equipment, logic analyzers, or function generators
Experience working with multiple of these technologies: digital signal processing, real-time image processing, display engineering, camera modules, mobile SoC (System on Chip) and PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) or Battery Management System
Experience leading technical teams, cross-functional groups and vendors against project plans
Preferred Qualifications
MS or PHD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
Experience with high speed signaling over MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY, PCIe, USB SS and UFS
Experience with IMUs/sensor physical sensor systems with an understanding of calibration methods
Experience with camera systems
Experience with new technology development
Experience with advanced consumer device packaging techniques
Experience programming in languages like Python or C/C++
