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
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) Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
* Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
* Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
* Experience characterizing power consumption, battery run time, and battery charging/discharging curve at each NPI (New Product Introduction) build
* Experience collecting power measurements for weekly Software builds and drive power consumption optimization cross-functionally
* Demonstrated experiencing leading analog and power system architecture, charging architecture, chipset selection, and system integration for the battery powered product
* Experience creating power models to estimate battery day of use, power circuit design, simulation, validation, and characterization across multiple products, ensuring their successful delivery
* Proficiency in generating design documentation, perform schematic capture and power delivery network simulation both pre and post board layout, prototype bring-up, and design validation
* Effective at root-cause analysis and problem solving technical issues during new product development and support in-field escalations
* Experience working closely with CM/JDM (Contract Manufacturer / Joint Development Manufacturer) resources to leverage their engineers and maximize the focus of internal resources on adding value to and differentiating our product
* Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams such as industrial design, architecture, product design and supply chain
* Experience evaluating and enabling innovative solutions for cost, size, efficiency, safety, and reliability
