Meta SoC Modeling ASIC Engineer in Sunnyvale, California

Summary:

Reality Labs focuses on delivering Meta's vision through Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Virtual and Augmented Reality require custom silicon. Reality Labs Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with 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/VR devices where our real and virtual world will mix and match throughout the day. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistors, through architecture, to firmware, and algorithms.We are seeking an SoC Modeling ASIC Engineer to support C++/Python modeling and software interfaces of ML, computer vision and other IPs implemented in our SoC pre-silicon platforms containing dedicated hardware accelerators (HWA). The successful candidate will be part of a team that includes algorithm, software, firmware, pre-silicon platforms, and emulation experts. The ideal candidate will understand SoC architecture, ML and CV accelerators, software interface, and mapping software pipelines to the dedicated hardware accelerators.

Required Skills:

SoC Modeling ASIC Engineer Responsibilities:

  1. Analyze the software pipelines and building Infra and tooling to automatically map them to the hardware accelerators
