Reality Labs (RL) focuses on delivering Meta's vision through AI-first wearables such as AI Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) Glasses. The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of wearables requires custom silicon. The Reality Labs Silicon 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 wearables that blend our 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. We are looking for a Silicon Architect who will collaborate with a world-class group of SoC and IP architects, modeling, development, and validation teams, firmware developers, and program managers to accelerate the development and market introduction of low power highly customized SoCs. As a member of the Reality Labs SoC Performance team, you will play a key role in leading performance modeling, correlation, workload profiling, and analysis efforts.

• Experience with RTL design verification

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.
