Onsite: Sunnyvale, CA

About the Role

Meta is seeking a Temporary Hardware Engineer to support hardware development initiatives. This is a time-bound, temporary engagement intended to address specific project needs, and is not a full-time role. In this role, you will contribute to the design, validation, and documentation of hardware components and systems, partnering closely with cross-functional stakeholders to deliver high-quality results within defined timelines.

Responsibilities

• Support the design, bring-up, and validation of electronic hardware (e.g., boards, subsystems, modules) from concept through verification.
• Develop and execute test plans; perform bench testing, debug, and root-cause analysis of hardware issues.
• Document designs, requirements, validation results, and engineering changes clearly and accurately.
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners (e.g., electrical, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, quality) to support program milestones and deliverables.
• Assist with component selection, schematic/layout reviews, and design-for-test/manufacturability considerations as needed.
• Provide regular status updates on assigned deliverables and risks, and support issue tracking and resolution.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Hands-on experience with hardware development and lab-based debugging (e.g., use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, DMMs, power supplies).
• Experience reading/interpreting schematics and supporting board/system bring-up and validation.
• Experience developing test procedures and documenting results in a structured, reproducible way.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across multiple disciplines in a fast-paced environment.
