As a System Power and Performance Architect at Reality Labs, you will lead system level power and performance modeling and requirement definition on upcoming AR products. Our team works on systems skills and architecture convergence on complex consumer electronics products. We also support SoC evaluation, computer vision and machine learning algorithms, and SW/FW including collaboration with experts in different fields to make architectural tradeoffs. Our team thrives in ambiguity, and we map trade spaces, drive a concept into a prototype, and envision how a prototype could transition into a high-volume consumer product.Wearables Power and Performance Architect Responsibilities

Own system power consumption modeling, use case data flow and latency analysis
Define system power and latency requirements for subsystem teams and drive cross-functional workstream prioritization
Work with product management and engineering teams across Hardware, Software, and Firmware and connect the E2E technical stack and determine product feature sets
Communicate technology and product strategy effectively to both internal and external stakeholders
Help define long-term technology roadmap and guide management and partner teams on technology investments

Minimum Qualifications

10+ years of product experience in electrical, computer engineering, or equivalent
Experience modeling system power and, using those models, inform trade-offs against key architectural decisions (For instance: battery life, thermals, silicon roadmaps, and power load profiles)
Experience with system architecture across electrical, firmware, software, audio, silicon, and thermal engineering
Communication experience working with Product Managers and other hardware/software cross-functional teams

Preferred Qualifications

Understanding of memory subsystems including mass storage and filesystem as well as volatile memory and memory management and their impacts on overall system performance
Experience with AR/MR or systems aimed at capturing/processing/delivering audio visual, IMU or other positional data streams
Experience creating system models to analyze system compute, latency and communication interface bandwidths
Working knowledge across the following areas with experience in at least one: Imaging and audio interfaces, optical, sensors, modules, ISP and algorithm fundamental. Communications: network impacts on latency, throughput and Jitter, VoIP, video communications Computer vision and machine learning
