About the Role

Meta is seeking a Network Hardware Engineer to design and scale the physical network systems powering Meta's global data center fleet. This role involves driving the development of custom network hardware, including switching platforms, optical interconnects, and high-speed PCB assemblies, to ensure the reliability and performance of Meta's hyperscale infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Participate in product vision and strategy for data center switches with network engineering, and bring designs from hardware concept into large-scale production networks.
  • Define hardware architecture, including liquid cooling, high-speed SerDes interfaces, optical modules, and management subsystems.
  • Lead electrical design efforts for high-speed PCB layouts, signal integrity analysis, and power delivery networks.
  • Collaborate with ASIC, firmware, and network software teams to define hardware-software interfaces and ensure functional integration of custom silicon into network platforms.
  • Drive hardware bring-up, debug, and qualification of prototype network systems in lab environments using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and network test equipment.
  • Partner with contract manufacturers and ODMs to translate hardware designs into production-ready network equipment.
  • Develop and execute hardware validation plans covering thermal, mechanical, power, and electrical compliance for network infrastructure equipment.
  • Document hardware designs, test results, and failure analyses to support cross-functional engineering reviews and manufacturing readiness decisions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8+ years of experience in hardware or electrical engineering with a focus on network equipment, data center infrastructure, or high-speed digital systems.
  • Experience designing and validating high-speed PCBs for networking applications, including signal integrity analysis for SerDes-based interfaces at 50G, 100G, or higher data rates.
  • Experience with hardware bring-up and debug of complex network systems, including use of lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, TDRs, and network traffic generators.
  • Experience working with ODMs or contract manufacturers through all hardware development lifecycle stages, including EVT, DVT, and PVT.
