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 collaboration, schematic design, board layout, hardware bring-up, and debugging. A key aspect is the demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize workflows and drive measurable impact, along with ongoing AI skill development in areas like prompt engineering and agent orchestration, and adherence to ethical AI practices.

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
