Job Description

The Hardware Network Engineering team is looking for a Network Hardware System Design Engineer to design, implement, grow, and maintain the proof of concept development, test, and emulation platforms for Facebooks global network comprised of cutting-edge switches and routers connecting millions of servers. This team is responsible for the design, implementation, and support of one of the worlds largest networks. In this role, you will have a unique opportunity to shape the future networks of Facebook by specifying technical requirements and steering the industry and ecosystem. This role will be working across many projects in our Hardware team to shape our system design and development requirements across Hardware projects. A successful candidate will be a HW system and platform builder, equally comfortable working on boards, sensors, FPGA RTL design/verification, performance and power test and evaluation, OS/RTOS kernel and driver software and architectures. The position requires a developer, able to debug and extract solutions from vague descriptions of system architecture and workloads, who also builds cross functional relationships across teams to find ideas, assets and assistance to explore faster.

Network Hardware System Design Engineer Responsibilities

* Develop and maintain code, tooling, practices, and infrastructure to collect, analyze, and interpret data for emulation and validation platforms and derive feature and performance requirements for our hardware systems and ASICs

* Work cross-functionally with stakeholders and partner teams to develop and optimize full stack solutions, from hardware up to software

* Design, bring up, and integrate the FPGA prototypes with firmware, and driver and deliver a working end-to-end system that is ready for proof of concept performance validation and tests

Minimum Qualifications

* Masters/PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or similar Engineering field or BS and 3+ years Industry experience.
