Summary:

As a Hardware Systems Architect at Reality Labs, you will lead architecture on upcoming AR/VR/Wearables products, help drive platform strategy & roadmap, and be a part of the teams designing, building, and testing prototypes for future consumer AR/VR/Wearables reality experiences. We want people who work well in teams, can brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, thrive in ambiguity, map tradespaces, drive a concept into a prototype, and envision how a prototype could transition into a high-volume consumer product.The ideal candidate will have experience with system architecture and design, previous roles driving architecture convergence on complex consumer electronics products, experience with SoC evaluation, optical systems, sensors, CV algorithms, software, and work collaboratively with experts in different fields to make architectural tradeoffs. In addition, this role requires experience designing and architecting secure system components for consumer-grade devices and services.

Required Skills:

Hardware Systems Architect Responsibilities:

1. Define system architecture for roadmap products, encompassing compute, memory, connectivity, peripherals/interfaces, sensors, I/O and firmware from initial conception through prototyping, product development and production ramp

2. Conduct threat modeling analysis for system designs and design effective mitigations. Derive corresponding security requirements, including compute silicon requirements and hardware/software interfaces

3. Deliver engineering solutions for architectural problems during early product concept development, ensuring translation of marketing requirements to technical product requirements

4. Conduct detailed analysis and trade-off studies for complex systems

5. Define, track and optimize system-level performance and security KPIs

6. Publish clear technical documentation for architectures and implementations

7. Drive technical scoping and development of new technologies to deliver generation-defining user experiences for future products on the roadmap. Guide management and partner teams on long term technology investments

8. Collaborate with cross-functional teams on blank-slate, early-phase prototyping and product exploration

9. Travel up to 15% time domestically and internationally

Minimum Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

10. Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering other related technical field

11. 5+ years of industry experience in systems engineering, SoC architecture, security engineering or a related role

12. Experience creating system models to analyze compute, latency and communication interface bandwidths across multiple subsystems within a heterogeneous compute environment, in order to define a system architecture that meets overall product requirements

13. Experience with influencing silicon vendor roadmaps and SoC feature sets with emphasis on using advanced IPs in domains such as Machine Learning, Graphics, Imaging and Audio

14. In-depth knowledge of and experience applying security principles to system HW/SW design, including but not limited to: root of trust, TEE, secure boot mechanisms, encryption methods, secure communication protocols, access control and authentication mechanisms, vulnerability assessment and penetration testing

15. Experience in rapid prototyping and creating proof-of-concept models to share ideas and improve architectural decisions

16. Experience working with Product Development engineers, Product Managers and hardware/software cross-functional teams

17. Experience working with partnerships teams and external partners at both a supply base and product level

Preferred Qualifications:

Preferred Qualifications:

18. MS / PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering other related technical field

19. 10+ years of industry experience in systems engineering, SoC architecture, security engineering or a related role

20. Experience developing security solutions for applications such as device authentication and DRM, for distributed compute systems

21. Platform security expertise - familiarity with Android, RTOS and IoT-based security attacks and countermeasures

22. Experience in firmware development, programming, computer vision, OS, game development, and complex sensing systems

23. Experience modeling system power and, using those models, inform trade-offs against key architectural decisions (e.g. battery life, thermals, silicon roadmaps, power load profiles)

24. Understanding of memory subsystems including mass storage and filesystem as well as volatile memory and memory management and their impacts on overall system performance
