Electrical Engineer - Wearables

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Sunnyvale, CA

Electrical Engineer for Wearables at Meta, focusing on designing, developing, and integrating electrical systems for consumer hardware. Responsibilities include schematic design, board layout, hardware bring-up, debugging, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. The role requires experience with high-volume product delivery, complex electrical systems, and integrating AI tools to optimize workflows. Familiarity with specific architectures (Qualcomm SoC), high-speed signaling, and ultra-low-power wearable design is expected. Experience with ethical AI practices and ongoing AI skill development is also mentioned.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own electrical development of complex subsystems or moderately complex systems, under guidance from technical leads or managers
  2. Lead schematic design, board layout, and cross-functional design reviews
  3. Propose innovative solutions to enhance system or product performance, reliability, and features
  4. Manage hardware bring-up, debugging, and support for manufacturing, assembly, or deployment
  5. Evaluate vendor reference designs and adapt them to Meta’s requirements
