Job Description

At Facebook Reality Labs Research (FRL-R), our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces and hardware subsystems for the next generation of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality experiences. We are looking for a skilled and motivated Electrical Engineer to join our team, whose mission is to design, build, and test future consumer VR and AR experiences. We are specifically looking for a candidate with deep analog design experience whos also able to explore and advance new technologies. The systems we work with could have ASICs, microcontrollers, microprocessors, FPGAs, WiFi, Bluetooth, and as well as a variety of sensors. The ideal candidate is also comfortable with designing mixed signal systems and RF. They should also be able to work with a team of scientists and tolerate a high degree of ambiguity. The chosen candidate will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers and will have access to cutting edge technology, resources, and testing facilities.

Electrical Engineer Responsibilities

* Design, simulate, prototype, and test electrical systems in experiments which combine a disparate complement of biometric sensors, mechanics, and software
