At Reality Labs Research (RL-R), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. As a FPGA Engineer at Meta Reality Labs Research, you will design, build, and test prototype electrical systems for future consumer augmented reality and mixed reality products/experiences. You will become part of a cross-functional team exploring new concepts through fast iterative prototyping. The team will typically include electrical, mechanical, optical, firmware, software, and research experts. We are looking for people who work well across disciplines, brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, drive a concept into a prototype, and foremost excel in co-developing software/hardware systems.
