Job Description

Meta Reality Labs is seeking a Systems Engineer to drive the design, integration, and validation of RF and wireless systems for next-generation augmented and virtual reality devices, including wearables and smart glasses. In this role, you will own end-to-end wireless system performance across technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB, and cellular, ensuring seamless connectivity in compact, power-constrained form factors. You will work at the intersection of antenna design, RF front-end architecture, and system-level integration to deliver high-performance wireless experiences in consumer wearable products.

Responsibilities
Define RF and wireless system architecture for wearable AR/VR devices, including link budget analysis, coexistence planning, and antenna placement strategies
* Lead system-level RF performance characterization and root-cause analysis across Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB, and other wireless protocols
* Collaborate with antenna engineers, hardware designers, and firmware teams to optimize RF front-end performance within tight spatial and power constraints
* Develop and own test plans for over-the-air (OTA) performance, conducted RF measurements, and regulatory pre-compliance validation
* Drive coexistence analysis and mitigation strategies for multi-radio wearable platforms operating in shared spectrum environments
* Partner with chipset vendors and ODMs to evaluate RF components, negotiate specifications, and resolve integration issues
* Translate wireless system requirements into hardware and firmware specifications, and track implementation fidelity across development milestones
* Provide technical guidance to other engineers on RF system trade-offs, measurement methodologies, and debugging approaches
* Support regulatory certification efforts (FCC, CE, and other applicable bodies) by coordinating pre-compliance testing and resolving findings
* Identify and drive resolution of wireless performance gaps through data-driven analysis and cross-functional alignment

Qualifications
6+ years of experience in RF or wireless systems engineering, including system-level design and integration of wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB, or cellular
* Experience with RF link budget analysis, antenna system design, and over-the-air performance evaluation methodologies
* Experience with RF measurement equipment and techniques, including spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers, and OTA test chambers
* Experience identifying and resolving RF coexistence and interference issues in multi-radio consumer electronics or wearable platforms
* Experience collaborating across hardware, firmware, and software disciplines to define and validate wireless system requirements Experience with wireless system integration in space- and power-constrained wearable or hearable devices such as AR glasses, VR headsets, or earbuds
* Background in evaluating and qualifying RF front-end components including PAs, LNAs, switches, and filters from third-party vendors
* Familiarity with regulatory certification processes (FCC, CE, ISED) and pre-compliance testing workflows for wireless consumer products
* Experience with RF simulation tools such as HFSS, CST, or equivalent electromagnetic modeling software
