The role

A silicon power architect at a consumer electronics company develops custom silicon power solutions for wearable augmented and virtual reality devices. They model use-case power, define power states and sequencing, optimize system-on-chip power architecture, and evaluate performance, power, and area trade-offs across CPU, GPU, imaging, hardware, and software. Their defining skills include low-power design principles, power estimation, and system power modeling, alongside RTL, C, C++, Python, technology-node scaling, and post-silicon hardware correlation.

Full job description

Reality Labs focuses on delivering Meta's vision through creating advanced AI-enabled wearables. The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of wearables require custom silicon. Reality Labs Silicon team is driving the state-of-the-art forward with breakthrough work in AI, augmented reality, computer vision, machine learning, graphics, displays, and sensors. Our chips will enable wearable devices where our real and virtual worlds will mix and match throughout the day. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistors, through architecture, firmware, and algorithms. We are seeking a Silicon Power Architect to lead the development of next-generation silicon solutions for wearables. This role requires experience in low-power design techniques, power estimation, and convergence tool flows and management.

Silicon Power Architect, Reality Labs Responsibilities:

Model and own use-case power for custom silicon by working closely with the systems teamInfluence the overall SOC IP's power requirements, including power states, high-level power tree, and power sequence requirementsWork closely with architects of SOCs that optimize functions such as image compute and CPU/GPU workloads for our AR/VR productsWork closely with PMIC and systems teams on the overall SOC power requirementsOptimize the power architecture implementation to meet use case power goalsWork across disciplines, brainstorm big ideas, build new methodologies, prioritize and coordinate multiple initiatives based on impact and deadlines, drive a concept into a prototype and ultimately guide the transition into a high-volume consumer productUnderstand the tradeoffs between general-purpose and custom compute mechanisms, be able to model data flows, and create detailed cost/benefit analysisWork on post silicon model to hardware correlation

Minimum Qualifications:

6+ years of experience with production silicon including at least one product shippedExperience with methods for partitioning a solution across hardware and software, digital, and other multi-disciplinary boundaries in a system solutionExperience in technology node scaling and projectionsExperience in custom IP block power estimatesExperience of low power design principles across RTL, design and system levelExperience in evaluating architectural trade-offs of performance, power, and areaExperience employing scientific methods to debug, diagnose, and drive the resolution of cross-disciplinary system issues

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in using AI agents for managing power tools and extracting resultsExperience in top down high-level-model to HW power modeling of system use casesExperience programming in C, C++, or PythonExperience collaborating and/or leading in a team environmentExperience working effectively as an individual and in a multidisciplinary teamExperience solving ambiguous problems in a fast-changing consumer electronics field
