Through our family of apps and services, we\'re building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world and helps bring them closer together. Virtual and augmented reality is one area of technology that will change not just computer gaming, but potentially how all of us interact with computers, information, and each other every day. At Facebook Reality Labs, we are developing the future of virtual and augmented reality where we envisioned mobile, lightweight AR/VR devices with very low power consumption. To achieve our vision, we need to generate, transmit and store vast amounts of video, images, graphics, audio and other types of data in an extremely efficient fashion. You will be working with a small group of experts specialized in data compression to design end-to-end compression and streaming solutions for VR and AR. The position requires the capacity to quickly prototype innovative solutions to challenging problems. Our goal is not just to harness the latest compression technologies, but also help push the limit of compression technology further. You will have chances to participate in the development of future compression technologies that not only benefit VR and AR, but also have an impact on Facebook as a whole or even across the industry.AR/VR Silicon Architect ResponsibilitiesWork with Algorithm Research teams to architect custom compression designs that surpass state of the art for metrics such as compute, bandwidth, and power consumptionWork across disciplines, brainstorm big ideas, work in new technology areas, juggle/coordinate multiple initiatives, drive a concept into a prototype and ultimately guide the transition into a high-volume consumer productMake tradeoffs between general purpose and custom compute mechanismsModel data-flows, create detailed cost/benefit analysis and estimate power consumptionPerform architectural studies including selecting ASIC technologies, FPGA ASIC emulation, and other system topics such as interface approaches, etcSupport FPGA/RTL engineers implementing such algorithms for real time evaluation or silicon integration and Silicon SoC Architects with integration, documentation and implementationProduce detailed documents and SystemC models matching the proposed ASIC implementation, and produce detailed tradeoff analyses for executive review and product roadmap decisionsTravel both domestically and internationallyMinimum QualificationsBachelor\'s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience8+ years of experience as a Digital Design Engineer, Silicon, Architect, and Silicon Architect for production silicon shipped in high volumeExperience with methods for partitioning a solution across hardware and software, digital, and other multi-disciplinary boundaries in a system solutionExperience in evaluating architectural tradeoffs in speed, performance, power, areaExperience in employing scientific methods to debug, diagnose and drive the resolution of cross-disciplinary system issuesExperience in a consumer electronics fieldExperience in programming in C or C++Preferred QualificationsExperience in top down high-level-model to HW mappingKnowledge of industry trends and disruptive technologies within the compression domainResults oriented, self-motivated, proactive with demonstrated creative & critical thinkingWorks effectively as an individual and in a multidisciplinary international teamExperience collaborating and/or leading in a team environmentMS in Electrical Engineering or Computer ScienceAbout MetaMeta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses.
