About the position

As a System Power and Performance Architect at Reality Labs, you will lead the modeling and requirement definition for power and performance in upcoming AR products. This role involves collaborating with various experts to make architectural trade-offs and drive concepts into prototypes that can transition into high-volume consumer products.

Responsibilities

• Own system power consumption modeling, use case data flow and latency analysis.
• Define system power and latency requirements for subsystem teams and drive cross-functional workstream prioritization.
• Work with product management and engineering teams across HW, SW, and FW to connect the E2E technical stack and determine product feature sets.
• Communicate technology and product strategy effectively to both internal and external stakeholders.
• Help define long-term technology roadmap and guide management and partner teams on technology investments.

Requirements

• 10+ years of product experience in electrical, computer engineering, or equivalent.
• Experience modeling system power and using those models to inform trade-offs against key architectural decisions (e.g. battery life, thermals, silicon roadmaps, power load profiles).
• Experience with system architecture across electrical, firmware, software, audio, silicon, and thermal engineering.
• Communication experience working with Product Managers and other hardware/software cross-functional teams.

Nice-to-haves

• Understanding of memory subsystems including mass storage and filesystem as well as volatile memory and memory management and their impacts on overall system performance.
• Experience with AR/VR or systems aimed at capturing/processing/delivering audio visual, IMU or other positional data streams.
• Experience creating system models to analyze system compute, latency and communication interface bandwidths.
• Working knowledge across imaging and audio interfaces, optical, sensors, modules, ISP and algorithm fundamentals.
• Experience in communications: network impacts on latency, throughput and jitter, VoIP, video communications.
• Experience in computer vision and machine learning.

Benefits

• $170,000/year to $240,000/year + bonus + equity + benefits
• Individual compensation determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
