Machine Learning Hardware Architect - Silicon Job Sunnyvale area,California USA,Engineering

Summary

Meta’s mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities — we're just getting started. Reality Labs (RL) focuses on delivering Meta's vision through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).

The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Virtual and Augmented Reality require custom silicon. Reality Labs Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with 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 & VR devices where our real and virtual world 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. In this position you will work with Machine Learning Hardware Architects, Digital Designers, and Software engineers to develop custom Machine Learning Hardware accelerators for delivery into multiple SoCs. You will collaborate with a world‑class group of researchers and architects to implement and contribute to the development and optimization of low‑power machine learning accelerators and state‑of‑the‑art SoCs.
