Silicon Prototyping FPGA Engineer

The Reality Labs team seeks a Silicon Prototyping Engineer to help building products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most. We are a team of world-class experts developing and shipping products at the intersection of silicon, hardware, software, and content. Our End-to-End (E2E) prototyping team enables this testing by creating systems from a mix of off-the-shelf components, internal IPs and SoCs at various maturity levels, and representative mock-ups for new investigations. In this role, you ideally should have experience working with some of the following; FPGA platforms, boards, sensors, displays, RTL design/verification, CV/ML/Gfx algorithms, virtual platforms, OS/RTOS kernel, driver software and architectures.

Silicon Prototyping FPGA Engineer Responsibilities

• Own IP-level or components of SoC level pre-silicon deployment efforts and ensure timely delivery of FPGA prototyping systems to end-users.
• Develop FPGA model builds and build frameworks, strategies and methodologies to help automate provisioning of prototyping platforms.
• Come up with solutions to effectively model end-to-end systems using FPGA together with other N-1 silicon platforms.
• Work closely with product engineers, algorithm engineers, software engineers, architects and designers to quickly prototype, bring-up and troubleshoot new end user experiences and features.

Minimum Qualifications

• 3+ years of multi-FPGA prototyping experience on platforms such as HAPS or Protium as well as experience with compilation, debug and partitioning for such platforms.
• Expertise in FPGA implementation including logic synthesis, timing closure, constraint tuning and placement and routing for FPGA prototypes/designs.
• Expertise in bringing-up and debugging FPGA prototyping platforms leveraging DV/simulation environments for HW debug and JTAG/UART interfaces for software debug.
• Experience in scripting languages such as Python, Bash and TCL.
• Experience in RTL development for custom FPGA prototypes/designs and proficient in working with Verilog, SystemVerilog.
• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta.
• Experience debugging and extracting solutions from vague descriptions of system architecture and workloads.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with system-on-chip high-speed I/Os such as MIPI CSI & DSI, USB, PCIE, LPDDR.
• Experience of dealing with ambiguity in a fast changing consumer electronics field.
• Knowledge of chip architecture, Architecture, design and UVM design verification experience.
