Virtual Platforms & SoC Modeling Engineer

Meta's Silicon Engineers are at the forefront of innovation, driving the design and development of silicon that power the future of human connection. Across Infrastructure, Reality Labs, and Research, our teams tackle complex challenges in wearables, data centers, and more. We bring together cross-disciplinary minds to invent, prototype, and deliver products and platforms that connect billions of people worldwide. We're seeking a modeling engineer to develop silicon models, in partnership with architecture, firmware, emulation and other domain experts, which serve as foundational tools for architectural exploration for our next-generation custom silicon solutions.Minimum QualificationsBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience6+ years of experience in hardware model simulation, virtual platform, performance modeling of complex SoCs, or high-fidelity hardware acceleratorsProficiency in modern C++ and/or C programming languagesGeneral familiarity with SoC components, including embedded processors, DSP, DMA, Cache Hierarchy, DRAM, Network-on-chip, AMBA protocolsExperience with SystemC, TLM, or other simulation frameworksPreferred QualificationsProficiency in modern C++ in the domains of chip-design, electronic design automation or simulationExperience in at least one of these areas - embedded processors such as ARM A/M series, RISC-V, DSP, DMA, Cache Hierarchy, DRAM, Network-on-chip, AMBA protocolsExperience with modern build frameworks and continuous integration systems, such as CMake, Bazel and CI frameworks such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CDExperience with debugging and profiling tools, such as GDB or other debuggersExperience with virtual platform development tools and frameworks, such as Synopsys Virtualizer, Cadence Virtual Platform, Imperas OVP, or ARM Fast ModelsFamiliarity with the standard C++ concurrency support library: threads, atomic operations, memory ordering, etcFamiliarity with power and performance metrics instrumentation in pre-silicon platformsProficiency in Python to automate design flows and generate necessary collateral dataDemonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologiesResponsibilitiesDesign and develop high-level models of complex SoC hardware using SystemC TLM, and other simulation frameworksCollaborate with silicon architects, digital designers, and verification engineers to design and develop high-fidelity models for first-party and third-party IPsWork with architecture teams to understand SoC and IP architecture, enabling Software/Hardware co-design using pre-silicon platformsCoordinate virtual platforms with hardware development programs, validating multiple SoCs and architectural changes with system software and firmware engineeringAbout MetaMeta 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.Equal Employment OpportunityMeta is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.
