Silicon Packaging Engineer

Meta is looking for an experienced Silicon Packaging Engineer for its Ecosystem and Technical Operation team. The ideal candidate will be able to prioritize competing workstreams across a cross-functional engineering environment based on impact, deadlines, and stakeholder needs. They will have experience with hardware development and integration of machine learning clusters, both server and fabric. They will be very familiar with AI/HPC hardware development, and will be data-driven and focused on the impact they can create as part of a engineering team. The Meta Infrastructure team designs, builds, brings-up, tests and integrates hardware systems that power Meta’s platforms, deployed in data centers worldwide, from silicon to sheet metal. Designs are published through the Open Compute Project Foundation. This is an opportunity to join our team and help us build some of the world’s most open and efficient machine learning platforms. We are building a competency in packaging design and technology to support the development of custom silicons for Infrastructure hardware as well as to develop packaging solutions that are optimal for our AI/ML products and system level performance.
