Systems Engineer, RF and Wireless

Meta Reality Labs is seeking a Systems Engineer to drive the design, integration, and validation of RF and wireless systems for next-generation augmented and virtual reality devices, including wearables and smart glasses. In this role, you will own end-to-end wireless system performance across technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB, and cellular, ensuring seamless connectivity in compact, power-constrained form factors. You will work at the intersection of antenna design, RF front-end architecture, and system-level integration to deliver high-performance wireless experiences in consumer wearable products.

Define RF and wireless system architecture for wearable AR/VR devices, including link budget analysis, coexistence planning, and antenna placement strategies Lead system-level RF performance characterization and root-cause analysis across Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB, and other wireless protocols Collaborate with antenna engineers, hardware designers, and firmware teams to optimize RF front-end performance within tight spatial and power constraints Develop and own test plans for over-the-air (OTA) performance, conducted RF measurements, and regulatory pre-compliance validation Drive coexistence analysis and mitigation strategies for multi-radio wearable platforms operating in shared spectrum environments Partner with chipset vendors and ODMs to evaluate RF components, negotiate specifications, and resolve integration issues Translate wireless system requirements into hardware and firmware specifications, and track implementation fidelity across development milestones Provide technical guidance to other engineers on RF system trade-offs, measurement methodologies, and debugging approaches Support regulatory certification efforts (FCC, CE, and other applicable bodies) by coordinating pre-compliance testing and resolving findings Identify and drive resolution of wireless performance gaps through data-driven analysis and cross-functional alignment
