Machine Learning Hardware Architect - Silicon

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Sunnyvale, CA

Machine Learning Hardware Architect role focused on designing and optimizing custom silicon accelerators for AR/VR devices. This role involves leading hardware design from architecture to product, collaborating with researchers and software engineers, and contributing to the development of low-power ML accelerators for high-volume consumer products.

What you'd actually do

  1. Technical lead for ML Hardware engineers, driving design from Architecture through to Product for AR/VR optimized silicon
  2. Lead designs to surpass state of the art for metrics such as compute, bandwidth, and power consumption
  3. Work 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 product
  4. Travel both domestically and internationally
