Summary:

Reality Labs (RL) focuses on delivering Meta's vision through AI-first devices that leverage Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Mixed and Augmented Reality require custom silicon. Reality Labs Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with highly integrated SoCs that leverage breakthrough work in computer vision, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body. Our chips will enable AR & MR devices that blend our real and virtual worlds throughout the day. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistors, through architecture, firmware, and algorithms.As part of the Reality Labs SoC Performance team, the candidate will help lead performance modeling, correlation, workload profiling, and analysis efforts. The ideal candidate for this role will have an excellent grasp on SoC architecture/micro-architecture, experience in developing performance models and collecting performance analysis data to guide the architecture of next generation SoCs. Successful candidates are motivated self-starters who are comfortable operating in a cross-functional environment, and have a hands-on approach to problem-solving.
