Meta Reality Labs focuses on delivering Meta's vision through Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Virtual and Augmented Reality require custom silicon. The Meta 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 and VR 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, to firmware, and algorithms. We are seeking Embedded Software Engineers to support the development of ASICs custom-designed for Meta Reality Labs products. The successful candidate will be part of a team that includes algorithm, user experience, software, firmware, and silicon experts. The ideal candidate will understand OS internals and low-level embedded software development for custom low-power SoCs. This is a full-time position.

Embedded Software Engineer Responsibilities:

• Lead firmware design, architecture, and implementation for key components of Meta Reality Labs custom silicon SoCs

• Collaborate closely with silicon architects, hardware designers, the OS team, and algorithm and model development teams

• Support all phases of SoC development – including early architecture requirements definition for custom silicon, firmware architecture, implementation, simulation, FPGA debug, chip bring up, and support systems and software teams on algorithm development on validated systems
• End-to-system firmware development to include power management, boot loaders, scheduling, RTOS, and/or bare-metal implementations
• Develop OS custom kernel drivers and APIs for hardware accelerators and peripherals

Minimum Qualifications:

• Experience partnering and/or collaborating across multiple teams

• Experience with embedded software design and programming in C/C++ for development, debugging, testing, and performance analysis

• 4+ years of experience in embedded software development
• Experience in understanding hardware, clock-level issues, bridges, delays, interrupts clock gating, polling, etc.
• B.S. degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
• Experience building software for complex embedded systems or custom SoCs

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with compression, camera, and video pipelines, or encoding technologies such as H.264

• Hands-on coding experience with peripherals such as UART, SPI, CSI-2, i2c, GPIO, USB

• Technical knowledge across topics including computer graphics, computer vision, or machine learning
• Experience with silicon and device manufacturing
• Experience with prototyping or pre-silicon environments (FPGAs, simulation, or emulation)
• Experience with lab instrumentation like oscilloscope, and logic/protocol analyzers for debugging embedded systems at HW level
• Experience with embedded DSP, CPU, and GPU architectures
