Electrical Engineer, Reality Labs Hardware

Meta Reality Labs is seeking a an experienced Electrical Engineer to help define the future of augmented and virtual reality hardware. In this role, you will set the long-term electrical architecture strategy for next-generation wearable devices, AI glasses, and wearables, driving innovation across power delivery, mixed-signal design, and system-level electrical integration. You will operate at the intersection of cutting-edge consumer electronics and spatial computing, shaping the electrical foundations that enable immersive human experiences at scale., * Define and drive the long-term electrical architecture roadmap for AI glasses and wearable devices, including power management, mixed-signal subsystems, and high-speed digital interfaces

• Lead system-level electrical design decisions across multiple concurrent hardware programs, balancing performance, power efficiency, thermal constraints, and form factor requirements unique to wearable and spatial computing devices
• Establish electrical engineering standards, design methodologies, and review processes adopted across the Reality Labs hardware organization
• Partner with silicon, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineering teams to co-define platform-level requirements and resolve cross-disciplinary electrical integration challenges
• Evaluate and select enabling technologies, components, and reference architectures for next-generation AR glasses and VR headset platforms
• Lead bring-up, characterization, and root-cause analysis of complex electrical failures across prototype and pre-production wearable hardware
• Represent electrical engineering in executive-level technical reviews, communicating architectural trade-offs and program risks to cross-functional leadership
• Identify and resolve systemic electrical reliability, EMI/EMC, and signal integrity challenges across the wearable device portfolio
• Mentor and develop other engineers across the electrical engineering organization, elevating technical craft and promoting rigorous design practice
• Engage with external partners, ODMs, and component suppliers to influence roadmaps and secure differentiated capabilities for Meta’s wearable hardware platforms

• 12+ years of experience in electrical engineering for consumer electronics, wearables, or similarly constrained portable hardware products
• Experience defining electrical system architecture across power management, mixed-signal design, high-speed interfaces (e.g., USB, PCIe, MIPI, LPDDR), and RF coexistence in compact form-factor devices
• Experience leading electrical design from concept through mass production, including schematic design, PCB layout review, bring-up, and DVT/PVT validation
• Experience driving cross-functional technical alignment across silicon, mechanical, firmware, and systems engineering disciplines
• Experience communicating complex electrical architecture decisions and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders at the executive level, * Experience with electrical design for AI glasses, wearables, or other head-worn wearable devices with stringent power, thermal, and size constraints
• Experience with electrical reliability engineering, failure mode analysis, and qualification methodologies for consumer wearable hardware
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Experience with wireless subsystem integration including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and UWB coexistence in wearable platforms
• Experience influencing external silicon or component supplier roadmaps to meet differentiated product requirements
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies

Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
