Summary:

Meta is seeking a Wearables Systems Architect to join the Reality Labs Team. As a key leader, you'll drive architecture for upcoming Wearables products, including AI Glasses, AI Wrist, and Augmented Reality Glass devices. You'll help shape the overall strategy and roadmap, collaborating with teams designing, building, and testing prototypes for future consumer AR and AI experiences. In this role, you'll define and converge complex sub-systems and product architectures that push beyond state-of-the-art consumer Wearable systems. This includes developing new sensing systems, display/optics systems, input devices, and full AR Glasses. To succeed, you'll need to effectively communicate technical concepts across cross-functional teams, driving incubation of new technologies from proof of concept to mass production. We're looking for a unique system designer or architect with a broad engineering background in electrical engineering, computer science, semiconductors, or related fields.
