Role summary

Meta is seeking a Hardware Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and integrate electrical systems for consumer hardware and large-scale infrastructure. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams throughout the product lifecycle, from prototyping to deployment. The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience, with at least 2 years of professional experience in electrical design. Key responsibilities include creating schematics, directing board layout, conducting feasibility studies, supporting manufacturing, and troubleshooting hardware issues. Experience with industry-standard design tools and lab equipment is essential.

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. If you are passionate about building the future of connected devices and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced setting, we encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and validate electrical subsystems or simple systems for Meta’s hardware products, with increasing independence
  • Create schematics, direct the board layout, and participate in design reviews
  • Conduct feasibility studies and analyses to evaluate new technologies and components
  • Support manufacturing builds, hardware bring-up, and troubleshooting activities
  • Collaborate across engineering disciplines (mechanical, firmware, software, etc.) to deliver integrated solutions
  • Document requirements, specifications, and test criteria for modules and systems
  • Troubleshoot and resolve electrical performance and reliability issues
  • Demonstrate sustained self-driven productivity and ownership of assigned areas
  • Build collaborative relationships with cross-functional partners and contribute to team-level goals
  • Participate in process improvement, knowledge sharing, and organizational activities as appropriate


Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience
  • 2+ years of professional experience in electrical design or a relevant technical field
  • Proven knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals and circuit and/or system design
  • Experience with schematic and board design using industry-standard tools (e.g., Cadence Orcad, Altium)
  • Hands-on experience with lab equipment and debugging hardware
  • Experience working with at least one of the following: digital signal processing, real-time image processing, display engineering, camera modules, mobile SoC/PMIC, or battery management systems


Preferred Qualifications
  • 4+ years of relevant industry experience in power delivery validation and design of DC-DC voltage regulators (e.g. control schemes, power stage MOSFETs, magnetics and decoupling), hot-swap circuitry (e.g. controller ICs, MOSFET load switches, current sense amplifiers)
  • Experience with design and troubleshooting of power management interfaces (e.g. PMBus, AVS, SVID and SVI2)
  • Knowledge of using Linux for testing and automation/script development
  • Experience with power integrity evaluation
  • Experience with low voltage and high current power subsystems of CPU, GPU, SoC, ASIC and/or FPGA, and related schematic and PCB design
  • Familiar with defining specification and validation of power connectors, cable assemblies and fuses
  • Familiar with NPI hardware design and deployment cycle
  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with emphasis in Power Electronics
  • Familiar with power delivery architecture of one major CPU supplier
  • Experience with development of test automation for power validation
  • Experience with end-to-end power delivery network design, simulation (e.g. SIMPLIS, Sigrity PowerDC/SI, ANSYS SIWave or equivalent) and board level correlation
