Wearable Vision Architect: Silicon Strategy & Roadmaps

Meta; Sunnyvale (CA); On-site; USD 250,000 - 450,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta's Reality Lab Silicon organization is seeking a Vision Architect to define the long-term technical direction for vision and imaging processing capabilities within custom silicon solutions for wearables.

You will shape multi-generation silicon roadmaps and translate emerging vision workloads into silicon architecture requirements, partnering with research, hardware, and product teams.

This role drives collaboration across silicon design, software, and systems to enable wearables at scale.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of silicon architecture, vision, or hardware design experience.
• Experience building cycle-accurate or transaction-level models for vision engines.
• Proven ability to define architecture across full silicon cycles for wearables.
• Collaborative with AI/CV teams to map workloads to silicon architectures.
• Experience with software-hardware co-design and low-level system integration.
• Experience with GPUs/DSPs/ASICs for image processing algorithms.

Responsibilities

• Define and own multi-generation vision and image processing architecture for custom SoCs.
• Establish microarchitectural frameworks for vision engines balancing performance and power.
• Drive architectural exploration for next-gen vision workloads on wearables.
• Develop architectural specs, models, and design guidelines for RTL teams.
• Collaborate with AI research and software to map workloads to silicon.
• Lead cross-functional architecture reviews across design and post-silicon validation.
• Define KPIs for vision subsystems and align hardware/software stakeholders.
• Mentor architects and engineers, establishing best practices.
• Partner with post-silicon teams to validate assumptions and roadmaps.
