Description
At Reality Labs Research (RL-R), 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 Embedded Software Engineer to join our team, whose mission is to design, build, and test prototype systems for future consumer wearable experiences. You will have a broad set of experiences, including practical embedded system knowledge, quickly solve problems, generate big ideas, work in new technology areas, and drive concepts into prototypes. You 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.
Embedded Software Engineer, Reality Labs Research Responsibilities
- Analyze, design, develop, and debug firmware for a wide variety of wearable devices, including novel sensing and imaging systems, haptic devices, and other prototypes
- Understand and implement firmware on micro-controllers, leverage peripherals, manage power consumption, support boot loaders, and schedule real-time tasks (RTOS)
- Collaborate in a team environment across multiple, research focused, and engineering disciplines, making the architectural tradeoffs required to rapidly deliver firmware solutions
- Support all phases of custom hardware development-including early architecture requirements definition, firmware architecture, proof-of-concept implementation, selection of MCUs and tools, and board bring-up
Minimum Qualifications
- B.S. or M.S. degree in Computer Science or related field with 4+ years of experience in embedded firmware design or equivalent experience
- Experience with embedded micro-controllers such as ARM Cortex M0/M3/M4 architecture and their boot mechanisms
