As a key member of the hardware systems engineering team, you will be responsible for ensuring the convergence of complex and novel subsystem and product architectures aimed at pushing the state-of-the-art consumer mixed-reality systems. In this role, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to derive and interpret business and operational needs into technical requirements; determine critical interactions between subsystems; and work closely with engineering and field-based operations teams to describe success criteria. Furthermore, you will execute validation and verification activities for new product integration, including system level and subsystem testing, to ensure that the hardware systems meet the specified requirements and function correctly in the intended environment. You will work on complex engineering challenges by leveraging a broad understanding of Meta's infrastructure, identifying trends and systemic issues in the hardware fleet, and driving resolutions and risk mitigations.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with hardware and technology teams through phases of engineering design, development, and validation to bring data collections online
Provide technical input to facilitate crucial data collection decisions
Work on all aspects of system engineering from initial definition of requirements and specifications, identification of risk, opportunities, and tradeoffs through to the decision processes, implementation, and risk mitigation
Develop processes and checklists to ensure comprehensive documentation, cross-functional alignment, and execution at all stages of product development [data collections], requirements flow, verification and validation, and interaction between various subsystems
Execute verification and validation strategies to ensure that hardware systems meet the specified requirements and function correctly in the intended environment, in collaboration with cross functional teams
Manage data driven methods for developing system requirements and verification related deliverables, such as specifications, design criteria, system descriptions, and verification tracking
Demonstrate effective communication and documentation skills by collaborating with cross functional teams, developing clear technical documentation, and assisting in debugging complex systems

Minimum Qualifications
