Digital Design Engineer

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.

This role is with the Reality Labs Custom Silicon Accelerator team. We develop the IPs for Graphics, Vision, Imaging, Audio, Compression, and more. Starting with concept or product features, we develop often in collaboration with other teams the algorithms, and then the silicon architecture for it.Digital Design Engineer Responsibilities
