Meta's Reality Labs silicon team is building custom chips that power the next generation of augmented and virtual reality devices, including headsets and wearables. As a Silicon Power Architect, you will define and drive power architecture strategy across the full silicon stack — from microarchitecture and power delivery networks to firmware-level power management — ensuring that our custom AR/VR SoCs meet aggressive power, thermal, and performance targets required for immersive, always-on wearable experiences. In this role, you will shape long-term power roadmaps and influence chip architecture decisions that directly determine the viability and user experience of Reality Labs products.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the power architecture strategy for custom AR/VR SoCs, spanning microarchitecture, power domains, clock gating, and voltage scaling schemes
• Develop power budgets and power delivery network specifications in collaboration with circuit design, package, and board engineering teams




• Drive power modeling and estimation methodologies across pre-silicon and post-silicon phases to validate architectural decisions
• Establish power management frameworks including energetic voltage and frequency scaling, power gating policies, and thermal throttling strategies for wearable form factors
• Partner with firmware and software teams to define hardware-software power management interfaces and runtime power control mechanisms
• Lead cross-functional architecture reviews, communicating power trade-offs and design decisions to chip architects, RTL engineers, and product stakeholders
• Analyze power measurement data from silicon bring-up and characterization to identify optimization opportunities and feed learnings back into future architecture generations
• Define power architecture requirements for IP blocks and third-party vendor components integrated into Reality Labs SoCs
• Develop long-term power roadmaps aligned with the product roadmap for AR/VR headsets and
