  • Lead cross-functional programs that deploy machine learning and generative AI capabilities into hardware engineering workflows, including design space exploration, failure mode analysis, and predictive validation
  • Establish frameworks for evaluating and prioritizing AI transformation initiatives based on engineering impact, feasibility, and alignment with hardware product roadmaps for wearables and AR/VR devices
  • Collaborate with research and applied AI teams to translate state-of-the-art AI capabilities into practical hardware engineering applications, bridging the gap between research prototypes and production-ready tooling
  • Communicate AI transformation strategy, progress, and trade-offs to hardware engineering leadership and executive stakeholders through structured written and verbal briefings
  • Define success metrics and evaluation criteria for AI-augmented hardware engineering programs, and drive accountability across partner teams to deliver measurable improvements
  • Identify organizational capability gaps and develop enablement strategies to build AI fluency across hardware engineering teams, including tooling adoption, workflow integration, and change management
  • Engage with external technology partners, vendors, and the broader hardware AI ecosystem to inform Meta's transformation strategy and identify emerging capabilities relevant to consumer electronics development
  • Provide technical and strategic guidance to engineering leaders and program teams navigating ambiguous, first-of-a-kind AI integration challenges in hardware development contexts

Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience in hardware systems engineering, systems architecture, or technical program management for consumer electronics, wearable devices, wearables hardware, or related hardware product domains
  • Experience leading large-scale technical transformation programs that span multiple engineering disciplines and organizational boundaries within a hardware development environment
  • Experience applying AI, machine learning, or data-driven methodologies to hardware engineering workflows such as design automation, simulation, test and validation, or manufacturing process optimization
  • Experience defining strategic roadmaps and driving organizational alignment across hardware engineering, research, and product leadership at the executive level
  • Experience communicating complex technical strategy and cross-functional program trade-offs in writing to both engineering and non-technical executive audiences

Nice to have

  • Experience deploying generative AI or large language model-based tools within engineering design or verification workflows for consumer hardware products
  • Experience building or scaling AI-enabled design space exploration, predictive failure analysis, or simulation acceleration capabilities in a hardware engineering context
  • Familiarity with hardware development processes for wearable devices, including subsystem integration, bring-up, and mass production readiness
  • Track record of establishing new engineering practices or centers of excellence that measurably improved development velocity or product quality across a hardware organization
