Lead Electrical Engineer, Smartglasses

Meta · Sunnyvale, CA

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. 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 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) MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering 12+ years of industry experience in electrical design Previous technical lead (TL) experience — leading a product team or driving architecture/technology exploration end-to-end Experience with flex circuit design, complex MLB designs (SIP), or board-level design beyond system EE Background in consumer electronics product development, ideally wearables or compact form-factor devices Experience with high-speed signaling over MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY, PCIe, USB SS, and UFS Experience in one or more adjacent EE domains: Display, Camera/Vision systems, Power/PMIC, Analog/Mixed-Signal, or Silicon IC FAE (e.g., TI, Renesas, Maxim, Qualcomm) Experience with IMUs/sensor physical sensor systems with an understanding of calibration methods Experience with audio technologies Experience programming in languages like Python or C/C++ 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
