Embedded Software Engineer, Connectivity/Wireless
Meta, San Diego, California, United States, 92189
Summary
At Meta, we’re building innovative products that make it easier for people to connect with each other and enjoy immersive experiences. Our team of world‑class experts is developing and shipping products at the intersection of hardware, software and content, pushing the future of computing platforms and redefining the way people work, play and connect. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you’ll have the opportunity to design, develop and optimise embedded firmware systems for our AR, VR and wearable devices, working on low‑level systems software, device drivers and connectivity protocols such as Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and Core Android networking. You’ll collaborate with cross‑functional teams to solve complex problems and drive innovation in areas such as computer vision, machine learning and graphics, helping to shape the future of technology and create new experiences for augmented reality, virtual reality and social/family products.
Responsibilities
Design and implement software components at all layers of the system, including kernel, synchronization primitives, resource allocators, memory management, security, I/O systems, persistence, etc. Develop drivers and services that operate efficiently in constrained environments and deliver large volumes of data with low‑latency and high‑bandwidth. Lead hardware bring‑up, peripheral drivers and communication, silicon integration, and power and performance management and optimisation efforts. Debug complex, system‑level, multi‑component issues that span multiple layers from kernel to application. Profile performance problems and drive optimisations across the entire software stack. Integrate software components from multiple partner teams into a unified product code base and drive their continued development. Analyse, design, develop, and debug firmware for various devices, including novel sensing and imaging systems, haptic devices and audio prototypes. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to solve issues and create new features in the connectivity space, including wireless software stacks (Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular, UWB, etc.). Enhance complex systems with wireless interfaces and provide support to QA, manufacturing and other software teams.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 7+ years software development experience in industry settings or PhD with 4+ years of experience. 3+ years embedded software development experience in industry settings. Experience in large‑scale C/C++ code base. Experience defining and driving technical work streams and providing technical leadership for software engineering teams.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with Java, Python or Android. Experience in a field which uses Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular, HDMI, GNSS etc., or related technology. Experience in embedded software development for consumer electronic products. Experience of Cellular connectivity stack on widely available platform like Android. Experience in implementing or integrating Wi‑Fi, preferably on a widely available platform like Android or iOS, or a system which employs the Linux Wi‑Fi Protected Access supplicant. Experience in implementing Bluetooth Host Stack features, profiles, audio, Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi/Cellular co‑ex, etc.
