Silicon Prototyping Emulation Engineer

Austin, TX

Meta Reality Labs team is building products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most. We are a team of world-class experts developing and shipping products at the intersection of silicon, hardware, software, and content. Meta Reality Labs team seeks Silicon prototyping Emulation engineer.Our End-to-End (E2E) pre-silicon team enables this testing by creating systems from a mix of off-the-shelf components, internal IPs and SoCs at various maturity levels, and representative mock-ups for new investigations. A successful candidate will be a Emulation platform builder, comfortable working complex SoC devices, emulation flows, virtualized sensors, displays, RTL design/verification, CV/ML/Gfx algorithms, OS/RTOS kernel and driver software and architectures, and who hears "its too early" as a personal challenge. The position requires a developer, able to debug and extract solutions from vague descriptions of system architecture and workloads, who also builds impactful relationships across teams to find ideas, assets and assistance to explore faster.
