Hardware Engineer

As an Hardware Engineer at Meta, you will design, build, and test prototype systems for future consumer experiences within Meta's Product Portfolio. You will become part of a team exploring new concepts through fast iterative prototyping. You will work cross-functionally with teams that will dynamically change depending on the problem and potentially include electrical, mechanical, optical, firmware, software. We want people who work well in teams, can take a broad definition and implement electrical system development, and can transition these designs into high-volume consumer products.

Hardware Engineer Responsibilities:

• Key contributor to updates, modifications, testing, and delivery of form factor integration within new or existing systems
• Drive electrical hardware and technology teams through phases of engineering design, development, and validation to bring complex Wearable products to mass production
• Provide technical ownership and guidance to make crucial electrical hardware product decisions
• Work on all aspects of system engineering from initial definition of requirements and specifications, identification of risk, opportunities, and tradeoffs through to the decision processes, implementation, and risk mitigation
• Develop processes and checklists to ensure comprehensive documentation, cross-functional alignment, and execution at all stages of product development, requirements flow, verification and validation, and interaction between various subsystems
• Empower cross functional collaboration, lead the team through an efficient and holistic approach to decision making and integration of innovative solutions
• Plan and drive verification and validation strategies to ensure that hardware systems meet the specified requirements and function correctly in the intended environment, in collaboration with cross functional teams
• Manage data driven methods for developing system requirements and verification related deliverables, such as specifications, design criteria, system descriptions, and verification tracking
• Effective communication and documentation skills are essential, as you will need to collaborate with several teams, develop documentation, and debug complex systems

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Automation Engineering, or equivalent industry experience
• 8+ years of experience in system architecture design, system integrated hardware development, system electrical design lead, with a proven track record of successfully delivering products to market
• Experience managing urgent projects through to completion while balancing evolving priorities and a range of stakeholders
• Proven technical proficiency in one or more of the following hardware disciplines: system engineering in electrical and mechanical, critical sub-systems including display, cameras, sensors in smart wearable products
• Solid leadership skills, with experience leading cross-functional technology teams through personal accountability and influence
• Analytical skills. Capacity to drive and triage testing, debugging, and root cause analysis for Hardware blocks
• Proven track record conveying complex technical concepts and drive alignment on product requirements and architecture, both within and across organizational levels

• Track record of shipping high volume products to market
• Previous consumer electronics experience
• Experience with both Electrical and Mechanical system development
• Experience with EMI and ESD risks and mitigation techniques
• Experience with analog/mixed signal IC design, fabrication, and validation process
• Experience designing for HDI rigid PCB and HDI FPC for high volume cost optimized applications
