About The Position

As a key member of the hardware systems engineering team, you will be responsible for ensuring the convergence of complex and novel subsystem and product architectures aimed at pushing the state-of-the-art consumer mixed-reality systems. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to derive and interpret business and operational needs into technical requirements; determine critical interactions between subsystems; and work closely with engineering and field-based operations teams to describe success criteria. Furthermore, you will execute validation and verification activities for new product integration, including system level and subsystem testing, to ensure that the hardware systems meet the specified requirements and function correctly in the intended environment. You will work on complex engineering challenges by leveraging a broad understanding of Meta's infrastructure, identifying trends and systemic issues in the hardware fleet, and driving resolutions and risk mitigations.
