Reality Labs (RL) focuses on delivering Meta's vision through AI-first devices that leverage Mixed Reality (MR) and Augmented Reality (AR). The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Mixed and Augmented Reality require custom silicon. Reality Labs Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with highly integrated SoCs that leverage breakthrough work in computer vision, machine learning, mixed reality, graphics, displays, sensors, and new ways to map the human body. Our chips will enable AR & MR devices that blend our real and virtual worlds throughout the day. We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistors, through architecture, firmware, and algorithms.We are seeking research interns with a background in Performance Modeling, Performance Simulation Methodologies, and Computer Architecture to improve our performance modeling collateral and use those models to guide the architecture of AR/MR silicon.Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks long and we support various start dates throughout the year.Research Intern - Silicon Performance Architect (PhD) ResponsibilitiesBuild APIs and/or custom wrappers to integrate various perf modeling components, develop test suites to formally verify the functionality and performance of the integrated modelsBe able to identify areas of optimization to increase the speed of simulation infrastructure either through code refactoring or code restructuringCarry out performance & power explorations of various architectural components using built performance models (exploration involves blocks such as NoC, DRAM, MMUs, etc)Minimum QualificationsCurrently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fieldExperience with programming (at least C/C++, SystemC is a plus), and scripting (Python)Experience in computer architecture (NoC, DRAM, Cache, MMU) through undergrad/grad course workUnderstanding of how to leverage performance modeling to support architectural exploration, with exposure to heterogeneous hardware architecturesUnderstanding of HW power, performance and area trade offsMust obtain work authorization in country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employmentPreferred QualificationsExperience working and communicating cross functionally in a team environmentIntent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship/co-opExperience in academic computer architecture simulators such as GEM5, SIMICS, etc.Publication track record in computer architecture conferences is a plus - covering areas in high performance computing, memory systems, multi-core and/or accelerator architectures (e.g., ISCA, ASPLOS, MICRO, HPCA, DAC, NOCS, ISPASS, PACT, etc.) For those who live in or expect to work from California if hired for this position, please click here for additional information. LocationsAbout 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. Meta is committed to providing reasonable support (called accommodations) in our recruiting processes for candidates with disabilities, long term conditions, mental health conditions or sincerely held religious beliefs, or who are neurodivergent or require pregnancy-related support. If you need support, please reach out to accommodations-ext@fb.com. $७,३१३/month to $११,३३३/month + benefitsIndividual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
