Embedded Software Engineer

Reality Labs at Meta is building first-of-a-kind products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most and the environment in natural and innovative ways. We leverage cutting edge technologies and platforms to build rich features, ensure high performance, security and privacy with power/thermal constraint. We are a team of world-class experts developing and shipping products at the intersection of hardware, software and content.

As an Embedded Software Engineer on the Reality Labs team at Meta, you can help build new, innovative hardware and software that radically redefine the way people work, play and connect. What we build today could one day be the norm. So to be here today is to truly be at the heart of change and the frontier of what's to come. We're the people helping to define the metaverse and next generation computing. We may not have all the answers. But together, we're getting closer.Embedded Software Engineer Responsibilities

About Meta Meta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses. When Facebook launched in 2004, it changed the way people connect. Apps like Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp further empowered billions around the world. Now, Meta is moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology. People who choose to build their careers by building with us at Meta help shape a future that will take us beyond what digital connection makes possible today—beyond the constraints of screens, the limits of distance, and even the rules of physics.
