Wearables Systems Architect

About the job

As a Wearables Systems Architect at Reality Labs, you will lead architecture on upcoming Wearables products (which include AI Glasses, AI Wrist and AR Glass device), help drive the overall strategy and roadmap, and be a part of the teams designing, building, and testing prototypes for future consumer AR and AI experiences. The Reality Labs Wearables Systems Architect will lead the definition and convergence of complex and novel sub-systems, and product architectures aimed at pushing beyond the state-of-the-art consumer Wearable systems. These can span new sensing systems, display/optics systems, input devices, and full AR Glasses. The role requires technical communication with cross-functional teams across ID, hardware engineering, partnerships, supply chain and core technology groups to drive incubation of new technologies from proof of concept through integration into products for mass production. Starting with a broad engineering background in electrical engineering, computer science, semiconductors or related fields, we’re looking for a unique system designer or architect.

Responsibilities

Own platform system architecture definition across one or more subsystems including compute/memory, displays/optics, electrical engineering, sensors, audio, wireless connectivity, I/O and firmware from initial conception through prototyping, product development, and production ramp Across a portfolio of products, work with other system architects and SW engineering teams to understand and document requirements for workloads that need to be supported. Use this to support selection/definition of compute silicon that has appropriate HW accelerators/cores for these workloads Maintain detailed specifications and assumptions for workloads, to ensure common understanding and alignment across teams while implementing new features Conduct workload profiling to understand system resource utilization metrics for existing and new software features on target compute platforms Conduct detailed analysis and trade-off studies to inform architecture decisions Deliver engineering solutions for high-impact architectural problems in early phase concept development (ensuring translation of marketing requirements to product) Communicate technology and product strategy effectively to both internal and external stakeholders Guide management and partner teams on long term technology investments Create hardware system metrics, standards and tools Drive development of system requirements to create new AR and/or AI experiences, and help advance technology and research roadmaps Travel up to 15% domestically
