Planning & Capacity Engineer

Summary :

Meta is seeking a Planning & Capacity Engineer to join the Infrastructure Supply Chain and Engineering (ISCE) Planning team to focus on planning optimization for all of Meta's infrastructure (Servers, Data Centers, Network) supply chain. This role will focus on creating and optimizing supply chain plans at variance altitudes to balance capacity, flexibility, supply, and cost, from base components to finished goods, in an environment of continual product introduction, directly managing billions of investment annually. We will do this primarily by building software and mathematical optimization models, not manual planning. The team is uniquely positioned to develop and optimize these capacity plans and scalably manage exceptions at the most strategic levels with company level impact.This role is very cross-functional and provides an opportunity to work with a variety of engineering and business teams to power the rapid growth of Meta's products. This role will help to ensure optimal deployment and operation of our infrastructure from both a cost and technology perspective, with millions of servers, gigawatts of data center capacity, and cutting edge technology including advanced AI.
