Electrical Engineering Leader

At Meta Reality Labs, we're seeking an Electrical Engineer on our VR, AR, or New Technology Team, you'll play a key role in designing, building, and testing prototype electrical systems for future consumer experiences within Meta's family of products. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams, including mechanical, optical, firmware, software, and research experts, to explore new concepts through fast iterative prototyping. We're looking for skilled Electrical Engineers with experience in high-volume consumer products or developing technology-leading prototypes to inform Reality Lab's roadmap. As a technical authority in multiple areas, you'll drive innovation by inventing technologies to solve complex problems. Your skills will contribute to setting internal and industry standards for Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) products. To succeed in this role, you'll need to deliver value that drives business outcomes, influence others to achieve results, and demonstrate technical judgment.

Electrical Engineering Leader Responsibilities:

• Drive the development of highly complex electrical systems, ensuring alignment with product goals and driving initiatives for improved quality and efficiency
• Lead electrical architecture definition and provide technical guidance to cross-functional teams, ensuring a clear understanding of system-level specifications and their translation to module and component levels
• Design schematics, specify components, direct board layout, lead system-level design reviews, and manage Signal Integrity and Power Integrity trade-offs in miniaturized systems. Participate in device assembly, testing, and debugging
• Effectively communicate complex features and systems
• Develop an in depth understanding of organizational and company goals, industry trends, and engineering strategies to drive the EE team's technical direction and product roadmap
• Work across engineering disciplines (electronics, mechanics, optics, sensors, haptics, firmware, and software) to develop systems and manage trade-offs
• Collaborate with suppliers to influence their roadmap, uplevel their skills, and ensure deliverables align with the product roadmap
• Thrive in a distributed team environment, contributing to building and sustaining internal Meta community through recruitment, mentorship, and collaboration
• Travel domestically and internationally as needed, informing prioritization of work across teams and disciplines, and actively participating in resolving technical conflicts

• BS in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 12+ years of industry experience in electrical design
• Foundation in electrical engineering fundamentals
• Proficiency with schematic and board design tools (e.g., Cadence OrCAD, Altium)
• Experience with test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, function generators)
• Familiarity with multiple technologies: digital signal processing, real-time image processing, display engineering, camera modules, mobile SoC and PMI, and battery management system
• Proven leadership skills: leading technical teams, cross-functional groups, and vendors
• Effective technical communication skills

• Expertise in: High-speed signaling (MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY, PCIe, USB SS, UFS), IMU/sensor systems and calibration methods, vision and audio systems, programming languages (Python, C/C++), and circuit design (Verilog/FPGAs, microcontrollers, microprocessors, firmware, programmable logic)
• Experience with: HDI flexible and rigid substrate design for high-volume, cost-optimized applications, manufacturing test development for consumer products, and system architecture definition based on product specifications
• Background in Consumer Electronics and/or mass production environments
• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
• 15+ years of industry experience in electrical design
