Sponsorship verdict
Sponsorship possible
One solid signal, not two — worth applying, and worth asking about sponsorship early.
- Employer is on a government sponsor recordThe US Department of Labor certified 1,731 H-1B/E-3 labor condition applications for this employer between Oct 2025 and Jun 2026 (latest Jun 2026) — the step every H-1B hire needs first. USCIS also records 1,112 H-1B approvals in FY2023. Source: LCA disclosure data (US Department of Labor (OFLC)).
- The posting doesn’t mention sponsorshipSilence isn’t a refusal — ask the recruiter before investing much time.
- No salary bar for this routeH-1B has no fixed salary bar: the employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role and area. Cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level.

US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role
Job Details: Job Description: The Opportunity: For nearly a decade, Intel's Neuromorphic Computing Lab, together with a global ecosystem of 250+ research groups, has explored architectures, algorithms, and software inspired by the brain's extraordinary efficiency, scalability, and adaptability. Our Loihi series of research chips pioneered event-driven, sparse, and massively parallel neuro-inspired processing, fueling over 100 peer-reviewed publications that validate the promise of this novel approach. Now, we're entering an exciting new chapter: transforming these breakthroughs into real-world products that will power the coming era of physical AI systems - beyond the reach of GPUs and mainstream AI accelerators. If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of computing, from transistor-level innovation to software abstractions, join us. Help define the next wave of AI technology that harnesses the proven advantages of Intel's neuromorphic computing technology with the versatility demanded by modern AI workloads. Position Overview: Join the team building Intel's product-grade neuromorphic AI execution stack targeting edge and robotic systems. In this role, you will architect and lead the development of the device drivers and firmware, working closely with hardware, runtime, and validation teams to deliver a robust and efficient foundation for devices attached to a host or running standalone. You will own this layer from pre-silicon definition through production release while remaining hands-on in architecture and implementation. Responsibilities: - Define and drive the technical vision, architecture, and roadmap for Intel's neuromorphic driver and firmware stack, while contributing hands-on to critical design and implementation. - Architect, develop, and optimize the driver and firmware components that operate the device, covering command submission and execution control, memory mapping and data movement, interrupts, power management, and reset and recovery, whether the device is attached to a host or runs standalone. - Partner with hardware architects to define the hardware/software interface of future silicon and drive software bring-up from pre-silicon modeling and emulation through post-silicon power-on and tuning. - Own the production readiness of this layer, including security, reliability, diagnosability, and serviceability, along with the validation needed to release it and support it in the field. - Collaborate with runtime, compiler, application, and validation teams, as well as customers and external partners, to translate platform and workload requirements into robust software capabilities. - Provide technical leadership across the driver and firmware area by establishing engineering practices and mentoring engineers. About the Organization: As part of Intel's CTO Office, you will join a vertically integrated incubation effort dedicated to bringing Intel's neuromorphic technology innovations to market. Our diverse team of engineers and researchers has pioneered sparse, event-based, neuromorphic architecture over multiple generations and is now focused on commercializing the technology in future Intel and partner products. Qualifications: Minimum qualifications - BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. - 5+ years of experience developing and shipping production device drivers and device firmware, or comparable low-level systems software, for accelerators, GPUs, or other complex hardware devices, including the interfaces between them. - 5+ years of experience leading the architecture and design of driver or firmware subsystems for complex hardware platforms, including defining technical direction and guiding implementation. - 5+ y
