Posted on: May 16, 2022
Job Description:
At Facebook Reality Labs we aim to bring together the brightest
cross-disciplinary minds in one place to deliver on our mission:
build tools that help people feel connected, anytime, anywhere. As
a Firmware Engineer, you will architect, design, build and test
firmware systems for future AR, VR, Portal, or New Technology
Teams. You will join a world-class team of experts exploring new
concepts through rapid prototyping. Firmware Engineering for FRL's
device systems spans multiple target classes, requiring deep
collaboration across engineering disciplines (electrical,
mechanical, optical, firmware and software) and directly impacting
user immersion. Our ideal candidate wants to quickly solve
problems, generate big ideas, work in new technology areas, drive
concepts into prototypes, and envision how those prototypes
transition to high-volume consumer products. In this role, you are
expected to participate in the definition of architecture and
implementation of architecture in both prototype and shipping
consumer products as well as demonstrate good development practices
and seamless collaboration.
Firmware Engineer, Facebook Reality Labs Responsibilities:
- Lead Firmware Engineering activities and provide technical
leadership and guidance to team members
- Analyze, design, develop, and debug firmware for a wide variety
of AR and VR consumer devices, including novel sensing and imaging
systems, haptic devices, and audio prototypes
- Understand and implement power-management, boot loaders,
scheduling, and RTOS
- Collaborate in a team environment across multiple , product
focused, research, and engineering disciplines, making the
architectural tradeoffs required to rapidly deliver firmware
solutions
- Support all phases of SoC/ASIC development - including early
architecture requirements definition for custom silicon, firmware
architecture, implementation, simulation, FPGA debug, chip bring up
and support systems and software teams on algorithm development on
validated systems
- Understand and drive implementation of FW development good
practices across teams and projects
Minimum Qualifications:
- B.S. degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or
equivalent experience
- 5+ years of experience in Embedded Software or Firmware
Engineering
- Experience with software design and programming in C/C++ for
development, debugging, testing and performance analysis
- Experience producing production quality, fail-safe firmware for
low-power real-time system control
- Experience with embedded processors like ARM Cortex M0/M3/M4
architecture and boot mechanism, interrupt priorities and
experience with configuring peripherals
- Experience with peripherals such as USB, SPI, MIPICSI/DSI, I2C,
UART, GPIO, etc.
- Experience analyzing hardware and power consumption
- Experience with hardware, clock-level issues, bridges, delays,
interrupts, clock gating, polling, etc.
- Experience with instrumentation like oscilloscopes,
logic/protocol analyzers for debugging embedded systems at HW
level
- Experience with device documentation and translate that
information into software solutions
- Experience with methods of designing experiments to diagnose
embedded hardware and firmware problems
- Experience with cross multi-disciplinary boundaries to drive
system solutions
- Experience with working independently and managing
priorities
Preferred Qualifications:
- M.S. of PhD in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
- Experience with wireless and wired communication protocols,
including USB, TCP/IP, Ethernet, Bluetooth and 802.11
- Experience working with DRAM-based systems and issues related
to DRAM bandwidth, power and throughput
- Experience implementing firmware for low-power SoC and tape-out
of chips
- Experience with protocol implementations such as USB device
classes (UVC, UAC, HID)
- Experience with embedded DSP and CPU architectures
- Experience with EDA design tools and instruction set
simulators
- Experience with FPGA and vendor specific hardware evaluation
boards
- Experience in real-time processing for computer vision and user
interaction tasks, high-compute/throughput systems and using
simulation and modeling technique to estimate performance and
power
