  • Meta is seeking a Hardware Electrical Engineer to design and develop electrical systems for various applications, with a salary range of $173,000 to $245,000 per year plus bonuses and equity.
  • Candidates must have a minimum of 8 years of experience in electrical design, including system-level architecture and integration.
  • The role involves leading complex system developments, defining electrical architecture, and driving innovation in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
  • Ideal candidates will demonstrate technical leadership in electrical engineering domains and have experience mentoring engineers while communicating effectively with diverse stakeholders.
  • Applicants should possess a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, along with proficiency in industry-standard design tools.
As a Hardware Electrical Engineer at Meta, you will design, develop, and integrate electrical systems for a wide range of applications, from next-generation consumer hardware to large-scale infrastructure. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams—including mechanical, optical, firmware, software, and manufacturing experts—to deliver impactful solutions. Your work may span the full product or system lifecycle, from early prototyping and feasibility studies to large-scale deployment. You will be part of an environment that values technical quality, rapid iteration, and creative problem-solving.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the electrical development of highly complex systems or multiple subsystems, driving technical direction and architecture
  • Define and drive electrical architecture, system integration, and technical strategy for major projects
  • Lead cross-functional design reviews, resolve technical conflicts, and ensure alignment across engineering disciplines
  • Drive innovation by identifying and implementing new technologies, processes, or methodologies to improve system/product performance, reliability, and features
  • Oversee hardware bring-up, debugging, and support for manufacturing, assembly, deployment, or operational readiness at scale
  • Evaluate and influence vendor and partner solutions, ensuring alignment with Meta’s requirements and long-term strategy
  • Mentor and coach engineers at all levels
  • Operate autonomously, set direction for teams, and manage priorities across multiple projects or workstreams
  • Collaborate globally across distributed teams, influencing cross-organization initiatives and technical strategy
  • Champion operational clarity, compliance, and specialized requirements, driving continuous improvement and best practices


Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, and/or equivalent industry experience
  • 8+ years of experience in electrical design, including system-level architecture and integration
  • Demonstrated technical leadership in at least one electrical engineering domain (e.g., power, display, sensors, infrastructure, high-speed interfaces, analog/mixed-signal)
  • Documented experience delivering products or systems from concept through prototyping, validation, and mass production or large-scale deployment
  • Experience leading cross-functional engineering teams and mentoring engineers
  • Proficiency with industry-standard design, simulation, and analysis tools (e.g., Cadence, Altium, SPICE, MATLAB, or similar)
  • Experience communicating technical decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders (e.g., design reviews, technical specifications, project updates)


Preferred Qualifications

  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
  • Experience characterizing power consumption, battery run time, and battery charging/discharging curve at each NPI (New Product Introduction) build
  • Experience collecting power measurements for weekly Software builds and drive power consumption optimization cross-functionally
  • Demonstrated experiencing leading analog and power system architecture, charging architecture, chipset selection, and system integration for the battery powered product
  • Experience creating power models to estimate battery day of use, power circuit design, simulation, validation, and characterization across multiple products, ensuring their successful delivery
  • Proficiency in generating design documentation, perform schematic capture and power delivery network simulation both pre and post board layout, prototype bring-up, and design validation
  • Effective at root-cause analysis and problem solving technical issues during new product development and support in-field escalations
  • Experience working closely with CM/JDM (Contract Manufacturer / Joint Development Manufacturer) resources to leverage their engineers and maximize the focus of internal resources on adding value to and differentiating our product
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams such as industrial design, architecture, product design and supply chain
  • Experience evaluating and enabling innovative solutions for cost, size, efficiency, safety, and reliability
