Meta is seeking a skilled Product Validation Engineer to drive validation activities across multiple areas of the product stack, including systems integration functional testing, electrical and mechanical testing, and new feature performance testing. In this role, you will be responsible for planning and executing validation efforts in domains such as system coexistence, system stress, power, audio, display, camera, and connectivity. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to organize validation activities, report status and findings, and provide technical expertise to ensure product quality and performance. This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on Meta’s product development process through hands-on validation and technical leadership.

Hardware Electrical System Validation Engineer Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute validation strategies for products integrating hardware, software, and content throughout all stages of consumer product development, from initial design through post-launch support
• Plan and perform product and system testing, collaborating with cross-functional teams to establish priorities and ensure effective implementation of test plans
• Deliver results from various device testing domains, including functional, performance, new feature, and regression testing
• Facilitate collaboration across engineering, program management, and other technical teams to design, develop, and implement rigorous system tests for prototype and production hardware
• Formulate and execute comprehensive validation plans, organizing validation efforts efficiently and reporting status using internal tools and progress trackers
• Analyze large datasets and distill findings into clear, actionable summaries for stakeholders at all levels
• Define, monitor, and communicate key performance indicators for system performance and product validation
  
  

Minimum Qualifications:
