Silicon Architect, Reality Labs (Redmond)

Silicon Architect, Reality Labs

Reality Labs (RL) focuses on delivering Meta's vision through AI-first devices that leverage Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Mixed and Augmented Reality require custom silicon. The Reality Labs Silicon team is driving the state-of-the-art forward with highly integrated SoCs that leverage breakthrough work in computer vision, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body. Our chips will enable AR & MR devices that blend our real and virtual worlds throughout the day. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistors, through architecture, firmware, and algorithms. We are looking for a Silicon Architect who will collaborate with a world-class group of SoC and IP architects, modeling, development, and validation teams, firmware developers, and program managers to accelerate the development and market introduction of low power highly customized SoCs.
