Silicon Power Architect, Reality Labs

Reality Labs focuses on delivering Meta's vision through creating advanced AI-enabled wearables. The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of wearables require custom silicon. Reality Labs Silicon team is driving the driving the industry forward with innovative work in AI, augmented reality, computer vision, machine learning, graphics, displays, and sensors. Our chips will enable wearable devices where our real and virtual worlds will mix and match 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 seeking a Silicon Power Architect to lead the development of next-generation silicon solutions for wearables. This role requires experience in low-power design techniques, power estimation, and convergence tool flows and management.

Silicon Power Architect, Reality Labs Responsibilities:

Model and own use-case power for custom silicon by working closely with the systems team

Influence the overall SOC IP's power requirements, including power states, high-level power tree, and power sequence requirements

Work closely with architects of SOCs that optimize functions such as image compute and CPU/GPU workloads for our AR/VR products

Work closely with PMIC and systems teams on the overall SOC power requirements

Optimize the power architecture implementation to meet use case power goals

Work across disciplines, brainstorm big ideas, build new methodologies, prioritize and coordinate multiple initiatives based on impact and deadlines, drive a concept into a prototype and ultimately guide the transition into a high-volume consumer product

Understand the tradeoffs between general-purpose and custom compute mechanisms, be able to model data flows, and create detailed cost/benefit analysis

Work on post silicon model to hardware correlation

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering or electrical engineering or a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

6+ years of experience with production silicon including at least one product shipped

Experience with methods for partitioning a solution across hardware and software, digital, and other multi-disciplinary boundaries in a system solution

Experience in technology node scaling and projections

Experience with custom IP block power estimates

Experience of low power design principles across RTL, design and system level

Experience in evaluating architectural trade-offs of performance, power, and area

Experience employing scientific methods to debug, diagnose, and drive the resolution of cross-disciplinary system issues

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience collaborating and/or leading in a team environment

Familiarity with high-level modeling tools like Synopsys Platform Architect or virtual prototyping tools is a plus

Experience independently driving technical work streams while coordinating deliverables across hardware, software, and systems teams

Experience in using AI agents for managing power tools and extracting results

Experience defining and scoping technical specifications for novel silicon architectures in consumer electronics where requirements are continuously evolving

MSEE or PhD equivalent

Experience in top down high-level-model to HW power modeling of system use cases

Experience programming in C, C++, or Python

Results-oriented, self-motivated, proactive with demonstrated creative and critical thinking skills
