Silicon Validation Engineer, Reality Labs

The Reality Labs team is building products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most. We are a team of experts developing and shipping products at the intersection of silicon, hardware, software, and content. The Reality Labs team seeks a Silicon Validation Engineer. As a Silicon Validation Engineer, you will be part of the RL Silicon Validation team validating high performance silicon and leading the effort to ensure high-quality silicon delivery. Minimum Qualifications * Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience * 6+ years of hands-on experience in bring-up, debug, and validation of complex Systems on Chips * 2+ years of experience in high-speed protocols (i.e., MIPI, PCIe, USB, DDR) and hands-on experience in high-speed IO bring-up * 2+ years of experience in silicon validation planning, execution, validation Firmware development, and validation sign-off * 2+ years of experience using lab equipment, such as scopes, BERTs, protocol analyzers, JTAG debuggers, etc * Expertise with building silicon validation infrastructure and test automation, in highly cross-functional environments - across multiple team sites * Experience influencing design, Design Verification and post-silicon validation teams to optimize the usage of pre-silicon prototype platforms Preferred Qualifications * Experience with building silicon validation infrastructure and test automation * 2+ years of experience working in a cross functional and cross site team environment * Knowledge and experience in pre-silicon validation platforms (i.e., FPGA and emulation) * Knowledge of ASIC design flow, silicon foundry test flow, and silicon Firmware development process * Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements) * Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews) * Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies Responsibilities * Responsible for System on Chip and end-to-end system validation plan development, execution and sign-off * Identify and communicate technical risks related to the project to the stakeholders * Plan, organize, and participate in silicon bring-up and validation activities across multiple Systems on Chips * Understand system Hardware, Software, Firmware component as a whole and drives test execution and debug with cross functional/PnP teams * Collaborate with the team for lab debug, silicon bug repro, failure analysis, and failure report activities * Work with cross-functional teams (i.e., architecture, Intellectual Property, Firmware, Electrical Engineering, System on Chip, and product engineer teams) to generate validation reports for SoC and systems * Work in an agile environment, changing roadmaps and adapt to validation plans based on changes About Meta Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today-beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
