Senior Silicon Power Architect for AR/VR Wearables

Meta; Redmond; On-site; AUD 208,000 - 297,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta Reality Labs is seeking a Silicon Power Architect to lead next-generation wearables silicon with emphasis on low-power design, power estimation, and convergence tool flows. The role collaborates across SOC, PMIC, and systems teams to optimize power for AR/VR compute workloads.

The candidate will model use-case power, influence SOC power requirements, and guide prototype development through to high-volume consumer products, leveraging experience shipping silicon and interdisciplinary

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering or electrical engineering or a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years of experience with production silicon including at least one product shipped
• Experience with methods for partitioning a solution across hardware and software, digital, and other multi-disciplinary boundaries in a system solution
• Experience in technology node scaling and projections
• Experience in custom IP block power estimates
• Experience of low power design principles across RTL, design and system level
• Experience in evaluating architectural trade-offs of performance, power, and area
• Experience employing scientific methods to debug, diagnose, and drive the resolution of cross-disciplinary system issues

Responsibilities

• Model and own use-case power for custom silicon by working closely with the systems team
• Influence the overall SOC IP's power requirements, including power states, high-level power tree, and power sequence requirements
• Work closely with architects of SOCs that optimize functions such as image compute and CPU/GPU workloads for our AR/VR products
• Work closely with PMIC and systems teams on the overall SOC power requirements
• Optimize the power architecture implementation to meet use case power goals
• Work across disciplines, brainstorm big ideas, build new methodologies, prioritize and coordinate multiple initiatives based on impact and deadlines, drive a concept into a prototype and ultimately guide the transition into a high-volume consumer product
• Understand the tradeoffs between general-purpose and custom compute mechanisms, be able to model data flows, and create detailed cost/benefit analysis
• Work on post silicon model to hardware correlation
