You will be part of a dynamic environment that values technical excellence, rapid iteration, and creative problem-solving.

Responsibilities

Own electrical development of complex subsystems or moderately complex systems, under guidance from technical leads or managers
• Lead schematic design, board layout, and cross-functional design reviews
• Propose innovative solutions to enhance system or product performance, reliability, and features
• Manage hardware bring-up, debugging, and support for manufacturing, assembly, or deployment
• Evaluate vendor reference designs and adapt them to Meta's requirements
• Provide technical guidance and support to other engineers; contribute to team knowledge sharing
• Work autonomously and take initiative to manage individual and team priorities
• Collaborate in a distributed team environment and across engineering disciplines
• Contribute to operational excellence, compliance, or specialized requirements as relevant to the team's mission

Minimum Qualifications
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, or relevant technical field, and/or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years of experience in electrical design, with a demonstrated track record of delivering/shipping high-volume products and/or working in research, prototyping, or early-stage development environments
• Demonstrated expertise in designing and troubleshooting complex electrical systems or subsystems
• Proficiency in interpreting and creating electrical schematics, designing physical layouts (e.g., PCBs or panel/plant layouts), and/or performing hardware/system bring-up and debug at the lab or field level
• Experience collaborating across engineering disciplines and with external partners or vendors

Preferred Qualifications
• Consumer electronics experience and/or working within a mass-production environment
• Experience with end-to-end development of camera module electrical subsystem, system integration, and validation from the concept phase to mass production
• Experience with HW-SW integration
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Experience working with CM/JDM manufacturing partners, including design reviews, test bring-up, build support and failure analysis
• Experience with high-speed interfaces, signal integrity analysis, EMI trade-offs, or thermal validation in compact, power-constrained wearable form factors
• Experience integrating complex camera subsystems into system-level hardware platforms
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Experience with circuit design across analog, digital, power, and communication domains
