ASIC Engineer, Design

The Infra Silicon team at Meta is responsible for designing and building in-house hardware accelerator Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to enhance Meta's computing and data-centre networking with superior capacity and efficiency at lower power and cost. The team focuses on creating domain-specific System on Chips (SoCs) that enable Meta's data centers to execute computationally-intensive workloads, such as video transcoding and AI/ML, with higher performance and lower energy consumption. They are organized into several key areas, including architecture & algorithms, design & micro-architecture, design verification, implementation & backend design, emulation/prototyping, and system on chip (SoC), which collaborate extensively with other teams to deliver comprehensive solutions for various technical domains.
