Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started.

At Facebook Reality Labs (FRL), 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 Power Systems Electrical Engineer to join our team, whose mission is to design, build, and test prototype electrical systems for future consumer VR and AR experiences. We are specifically looking for a candidate with a broad set of experiences, including analog/mixed signal design, PCB design, power systems design, wearables, or lower power design. The ideal candidate would be comfortable designing mixed high speed digital circuit boards, be experienced with troubleshooting at the board and system level, and be familiar with common development processes. They should have the ability to work with a team of researchers with tolerance for a high degree of ambiguity. More broadly, 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.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate in a team environment across engineering disciplines while managing a wide variety of stakeholders and leading the bring-up and validation of power subsystem to achieve efficiency, reliability, and scalability
• Design schematics, completing board layouts, assembling, testing, debugging, and integrating designs into electro-mechanical systems or research prototypes
• Take technical responsibility for the power circuit design, simulation, validation, and characterization across multiple products ensuring their successful delivery
• Transform ambiguous requests and vendor reference designs into working custom solutions
• Work closely with various internal and external organizations to define and execute the long term vision
  

Minimum Qualification

• 4+ years of experience EE design and low voltage power design along with a BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
• Knowledge of the characteristics of power conversion such as linear and of switching regulators and experience with analyzing and resolving power related hardware issues
• Demonstrated experience in Battery Management Systems, mobile SoC and companion PMIC chip sets, and wireless charge systems
• Demonstrated experience with use of standard electrical engineering tools such as oscilloscopes, high speed digital test equipment, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, function generators, and schematic and board design using Cadence OrCAD, Altium or equivalent
• Demonstrated experience working independently, managing priorities, and demonstrates aptitude for creative problem solving
  

Preferred Qualification

• Familiarity with VR/AR systems or wearable low-power or portable electronic devices
• Demonstrated experience with mainstream PDN simulation tools such as Sigrity or HyperLynx
• Demonstrated experience with end-to-end enabling, design, and deployment cycle of board power subsystem
• Demonstrated experience with design and troubleshooting power management busses such as PMBus, SVID, or SVI2 interfaces
• Demonstrated experience defining and coordinating test procedures or automation in a lab and factory environment to facilitate system bring-up and evaluation
