Join Meta as an Electrical Engineer Intern and contribute to the development of groundbreaking hardware that powers billions of users worldwide. This role offers a unique opportunity to work on real-world projects at the forefront of technology, directly impacting Meta's mission to connect people and build communities through advanced electrical systems and innovative designs. You'll gain invaluable experience in a fast-paced environment where your contributions help shape the future of hardware engineering. As an intern, you'll dive into daily tasks such as assisting in the design and simulation of electrical circuits using tools like Cadence and SPICE. Weekly, you'll collaborate with senior engineers to prototype PCB layouts, conduct signal integrity analysis, and troubleshoot hardware issues in lab settings. Monthly deliverables may include contributing to design reviews, testing power distribution systems for data centers, and documenting findings for team presentations. Expect to work closely with cross-functional teams including firmware developers, mechanical engineers, and product managers to integrate electrical components into consumer devices like AR/VR hardware. You'll also support failure analysis, optimize thermal management solutions, and participate in bring-up of new prototypes, ensuring high reliability and performance metrics are met. Leadership opportunities arise through presenting intern project outcomes to stakeholders. To qualify, candidates must be pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with at least junior standing. Prior coursework or projects in analog/digital circuit design, electromagnetics, and embedded systems is essential. Proficiency in programming languages like C++, Python, and MATLAB, along with experience in EDA tools such as Altium Designer or OrCAD, is required. Familiarity with high-speed interfaces like PCIe, USB, and DDR is highly valued. No professional certifications are needed, but hands-on experience through university labs, personal projects, or prior internships in hardware development is a plus. Technical expertise in VLSI design, RF engineering, and power electronics will set you apart, complemented by soft skills like strong problem-solving, effective communication for team collaborations, and adaptability in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. You'll thrive with analytical thinking to debug complex systems and a passion for innovation in hardware that drives Meta's products forward.
