• Understand and contribute to the collective communications library, intended to be deployed on Meta's AI/ML superclusters
• Support networking and compute hardware acceleration techniques to improve ML inference and training model performance
• Perform architectural analysis to ensure system designs meet performance, scalability, and reliability requirements
• Implement simulation models for Meta's Accelerator ASICs, develop and analyze various scenarios to evaluate data center performance and identify potential improvements
• Collaborate with architects and engineers to integrate simulation results into system design processes
• Use instruction set simulators to define performant firmware for Meta's training/inference accelerators
• Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to ensure accurate modeling and simulation of accelerator functionalities
• Analyze simulation results to guide firmware development and optimization efforts

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta
• 2+ years experience in developing C++ codebase
• 2+ years experience in developing Python codebase
• Understanding of performance, benchmarking measurement, and optimization on collective communications and distributed at-scale model training
• Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience. Degree must be completed prior to joining Meta

Preferred Qualifications:

• Understanding of the transport stack (e.g., RoCE) and its constraints particularly pertaining to interconnect and collective
• Experience with SystemC
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Knowledge of AI/HPC hardware requirements and specifications (e.g., configuring hardware components for AI/HPC workloads)
• Familiarity with relevant tools, libraries, and frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, CUDA)
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)

About 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.
