Hardware Electrical Engineer, Wearables

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.

Hardware Electrical Engineer, Wearables 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 work streams

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
