Facebook App: Silicon Power And Performance Architect Intern (Phd)

Facebook Reality Labs (FRL) focuses on delivering Facebook’s vision through Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR).

The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Virtual and Augmented Reality require custom silicon.

The Facebook Silicon team is driving the state of the art forward with 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 and VR devices where our real and virtual world will mix and match throughout the day.

We believe the only way to achieve our goals is to look at the entire stack, from transistor, through architecture, to firmware and algorithms.We are seeking an intern to carry out development of simulation frameworks and models for system power, performance analyses.

This will require close collaboration with power and performance architects in creating new simulation features, interfaces, and models as well as improving existing ones.Our internships are twelve (12) to sixteen (16) weeks long and we have various start dates throughout the year.

Contribute to development of simulation frameworks for system power/performance estimationImplement communication interfaces between power and performance simulationsCollaborate with power/performance architects and assist in model creation and updatesPerform use-case simulations and quantify power/performance impact of design decisionsWork across disciplines, brainstorm ideas, and build new methodologiesCommunicate project agenda, progress and results Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fieldKnowledge of computer architecture and SoC design through related academic course workFamiliarity with silicon power modeling and power estimationExperience with power and/or performance simulationsProficiency in Python scripting language is required for this positionInterpersonal experience: cross-group and cross-culture collaborationMust obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment Experience with SoC power modeling and pre-silicon power estimationExperience with power and/or performance simulation framework developmentExperience in hardware power, performance, and area trade offsExperience with C or C++ object-oriented programmingWorking knowledge of SQL is a plusIntent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together.

Through our family of apps and services, we’re building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together.

Whether we’re creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart.

Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways.

Together, we can help people build stronger communities we’re just getting started.
