Reality Labs focuses on delivering Meta's vision through Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Virtual and Augmented Reality require custom silicon. The Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with breakthrough work in computer vision, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body. Our chips will enable AR and VR devices where our real and virtual world will mix and match throughout the day. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistor, through architecture, to firmware, and algorithms. You will be part of the End-to-End (E2E) System and Infrastructure team at Reality Labs Silicon. Your work will focus on building and scaling software infrastructure and automation strategies for product development and validation targeting Meta’s custom-designed System-on-Chips (SoCs) with low-level embedded software. You will be enabling IO Virtualization & abstraction across numerous different pre-silicon platforms and ensure that our internal partners are able to easily leverage different pre-silicon platforms for running their custom embedded workloads. Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks long.
