Meta is seeking an Engineer to join our Release to Production (RTP) team. Our servers and data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure operates efficiently to deliver our innovative services. The RTP team is responsible for the Hardware Lifecycle of all Meta servers including pre-production hands-on system and hardware debugging and stress testing, enabling production-ready system monitoring, automated provisioning and automated remediation of issues.RTP Engineers work closely with hardware designers, system manufacturers, component vendors, capacity engineering, production engineering, Meta services, and data center operations teams to test systems before release to our production data centers, and to track the health and lifecycle of servers in production.The RTP Silicon squad's primary charter is to deliver scalable and reliable custom ASIC solutions to meet Meta data center needs. Ramping to production and solving the datacenter scaling and deployment challenges requires us to take a systems based approach to Silicon bring up and validation.

Hardware Systems Engineer, Silicon Responsibilities:
- Working with end users to understand system use cases to help guide validation.
- Ensuring a tight loops between hardware qualification and the final application use models
- We focus on volume as well as the velocity of qualifications to allow the fastest possible ramp to production.
- The team works on all aspects of silicon productization, from early architecture and design inputs, to pre-silicon validation, to bring-up and post-silicon characterization.
- The team's early engagement with the design team ensures that quality and debuggability are built into the design.
- We support the architecture team with insights from performance & power characterization to guide future improvements.
- We work directly with the verification team to enable a comprehensive pre and post silicon test plan.
- We write tests, create bare metal operating systems, enable frameworks that will allow us to reuse and scale testing from pre-silicon platforms to many ASICs in the lab during the post silicon phase.
- We work on extensive functional and electrical characterization over temperature, process corner and voltage.
- To accomplish this at scale, we build and maintain extensive lab automation.

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.
