AR Subsystem Power Architect

Reality Labs (RL) focuses on delivering Meta's vision through AI-first wearables devices. The compute performance and power efficiency requirements require custom silicon. The Reality Labs wearables team is driving the state-of-the-art forward with highly integrated SoCs that leverage breakthrough work in computer vision, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body. Our chips will enable our wearables products to blend real and virtual worlds throughout the day. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistors, through architecture, firmware, and algorithms.

AR Subsystem Power Architect Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain architectural models and specifications for system-on-chip (SOC) components and subsystems
• Lead technical analysis and optimization efforts for SOC subsystem design elements, utilizing data from simulation and hardware validation platforms
• Conduct analysis and optimization of SOC subsystems to achieve optimal power, performance, and area (PPA) targets
• Drive architectural analysis for current and future workloads to inform SOC design decisions and roadmap planning
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver technical documentation, architectural specifications, and performance models for SOC implementations
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta
• 2 years of experience integrating SoCs or complex IP-based subsystems as a Silicon Architect or Digital Design Engineer
• Knowledgeable in SoC system design principles and evaluating architectural trade-offs across key performance metrics including power, performance and area
• Experience with post-silicon to pre-silicon correlation analysis
• Experience with developing and utilizing telemetry solutions to analyze and profile workloads
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience developing and maintaining power models for accelerator sub-systems
• Experience performing workload analysis for power across a range of relevant workloads, including next-generation applications
• Experience leading Intellectual Property (IP) power optimization analysis using traffic traces from pre/post silicon platforms
• Experience in at least one relevant area: Audio, Display, Rendering, Computer Vision, or Imaging
• Experience leading the analysis and configuration of subsystem caches for optimal PPA
• Experience with bare-metal programming, micro-benchmarking, etc
• Experience deconstructing a problem, designing performance experiments, analyzing and visualizing data, and drawing conclusions for modeling and subsystem architecture
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional partners to produce comprehensive documentation and modeling for workloads executed on accelerator sub-systems
  
  

About Meta:

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
