Hardware Electrical Engineer

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Sunnyvale, CA +1

Hardware Electrical Engineer role focused on designing, developing, and integrating electrical systems for consumer hardware and large-scale infrastructure. The role involves full product lifecycle management, cross-functional collaboration, and technical leadership, with a requirement to integrate AI tools into workflows and adhere to ethical AI practices.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead the electrical development of highly complex systems or subsystems, driving technical direction and architecture
  2. Define and drive electrical architecture, system integration, and technical strategy for major projects
  3. Lead cross-functional design reviews, resolve technical conflicts, and ensure alignment across engineering disciplines
  4. Drive innovation by identifying and implementing new technologies, processes, or methodologies to improve system/product performance, reliability, and features
  5. Oversee hardware bring-up, debugging, and support for manufacturing, assembly, deployment, or operational readiness at scale

Skills

Required

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, and/or equivalent industry experience
