Power Electrical Engineer

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Sunnyvale, CA

Meta is seeking a Power Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and integrate electrical systems for consumer hardware and large-scale infrastructure. The role involves leading electrical development, defining architecture, driving technical strategy, and collaborating with cross-functional teams throughout the product lifecycle. Responsibilities include hardware bring-up, debugging, manufacturing support, and mentoring engineers. Qualifications include a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, 8+ years of experience in electrical design and system-level architecture, and demonstrated technical leadership. Experience with AI tools for workflow optimization and ethical AI practices is mentioned, but the core role is electrical engineering.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead the electrical development of highly complex systems or multiple 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
