Full Job Description
As a Hardware Electrical Engineer at Meta, you will design, develop, and integrate electrical systems for a wide range of applications, from next-generation consumer hardware to large-scale infrastructure. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams-including mechanical, optical, firmware, software, and manufacturing experts-to deliver impactful solutions. Your work may span the full product or system lifecycle, from early prototyping and feasibility studies to large-scale deployment. You will be part of an environment that values technical quality, rapid iteration, and creative problem-solving.

Responsibilities

Lead the electrical development of highly complex systems or multiple subsystems, driving technical direction and architecture
• Define and drive electrical architecture, system integration, and technical strategy for major projects
• Lead cross-functional design reviews, resolve technical conflicts, and ensure alignment across engineering disciplines
• Drive innovation by identifying and implementing new technologies, processes, or methodologies to improve system/product performance, reliability, and features
• Oversee hardware bring-up, debugging, and support for manufacturing, assembly, deployment, or operational readiness at scale
• Evaluate and influence vendor and partner solutions, ensuring alignment with Meta's requirements and long-term strategy
• Mentor and coach engineers at all levels
• Operate autonomously, set direction for teams, and manage priorities across multiple projects or workstreams
• Collaborate globally across distributed teams, influencing cross-organization initiatives and technical strategy
• Champion operational clarity, compliance, and specialized requirements, driving continuous improvement and best practices

Minimum Qualifications
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, and/or equivalent industry experience
• 8+ years of experience in electrical design, including system-level architecture and integration
• Demonstrated technical leadership in at least one electrical engineering domain (e.g., power, display, sensors, infrastructure, high-speed interfaces, analog/mixed-signal)
• Documented experience delivering products or systems from concept through prototyping, validation, and mass production or large-scale deployment
• Experience leading cross-functional engineering teams and mentoring engineers
• Proficiency with industry-standard design, simulation, and analysis tools (e.g., Cadence, Altium, SPICE, MATLAB, or similar)
• Experience communicating technical decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders (e.g., design reviews, technical specifications, project updates)

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