Meta Reality Labs focus on building technology to help people connect through Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). Our embedded software will enable AR and VR devices where our real and virtual world will mix and match throughout the day. We believe the way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from custom ASICs and new technologies, firmware, algorithms, OS, to user experiences.
The main function of Embedded Software Engineer, you will architect, design, build and test embedded firmware systems for future AR, VR, or New Technology Teams. In this role, you are expected to participate in the definition of architecture and implementation of designs in both prototype and shipping consumer products as well as demonstrate good development practices and seamless collaboration. Our teams deliver all embedded software from low-level device drivers to computer vision, to machine learning algorithms. Engineering for Reality Labs device systems spans multiple target classes, requiring deep collaboration across engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical, algorithms, user experience, silicon architects, and software) and directly impacting user immersion. Our engineers quickly solve problems, generate big ideas, work in new technology areas, drive concepts into prototypes, and envision how those prototypes transition to high-volume consumer products. You will join a world-class team of experts exploring new concepts through rapid prototyping leading to shipping products.
This position requires physical presence at Meta's office in Redmond, Washington 5 days a week.
