As a Hardware Electrical Engineer at Meta, you will design, develop, and integrate innovative electrical systems for a wide range of applications, from next-generation consumer hardware to large-scale infrastructure. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams—including mechanical, optical, firmware, software, and manufacturing experts—to deliver impactful solutions. Your work may span the full product or system lifecycle, from early prototyping and feasibility studies to large-scale deployment and operational excellence. You will be part of a dynamic environment that values technical excellence, rapid iteration, and creative problem-solving.
Responsibilities
Own electrical development of complex subsystems or moderately complex systems, under guidance from technical leads or managers Lead schematic design, board layout, and cross-functional design reviews Propose innovative solutions to enhance system or product performance, reliability, and features Manage hardware bring-up, debugging, and support for manufacturing, assembly, or deployment Evaluate vendor reference designs and adapt them to Meta’s requirements Provide technical guidance and support to other engineers; contribute to team knowledge sharing Work autonomously and take initiative to manage individual and team priorities Collaborate in a distributed team environment and across engineering disciplines Contribute to operational excellence, compliance, or specialized requirements as relevant to the team’s mission
Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or relevant technical field, and/or equivalent practical experience 6+ years of experience in electrical design, with a demonstrated track record of delivering/shipping high-volume products and/or working in research, prototyping, or early-stage development environments Demonstrated expertise in designing and troubleshooting complex electrical systems or subsystems Proficiency in interpreting and creating electrical schematics, designing physical layouts (e.g., PCBs or panel/plant layouts), and/or performing hardware/system bring‑up and debug at the lab or field level Experience collaborating across engineering disciplines and with external partners or vendors Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements) Evidence of organization, communication, and documentation skills used to bring new technologies and product categories to market in a complex environment Experience leveraging technical and product development experience and cross-collaboration relationships to influence product direction Experience in an applied research organization Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews) Experience working independently, managing priorities, and demonstrating an aptitude for creative problem-solving Experience with robotic systems, health/medical devices, or wearable technologies
