Silicon Performance Architect, Reality Labs

Summary:

Reality Labs focuses on delivering Meta's vision through creating advanced AI-enabled wearables. The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of wearables require custom silicon. The custom silicon team within Reality Labs is driving the state-of-the-art forward with breakthrough work in AI, augmented reality, computer vision, machine learning, graphics, displays, and sensors. Our chips will enable wearable 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.As an architect on the the SoC Performance team within Reality Labs, you will play a key role in leading performance modeling, correlation, workload profiling, and analysis efforts.
