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 2,374 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 394 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
We're looking for an ambitious Senior Solutions Architect to drive validation of NVIDIA AI factories from first rack power-on through customer handoff. You will be embedded in launches from the start, running and debugging AI/LLM workloads and benchmarks on Linux-based GPU clusters using NCCL and collectives (AllReduce, AllToAll) to validate performance and scalability. When workloads or benchmarks fall short, you're the expert who digs in, partners with engineering, and drives resolution. You will operationalize observability and automation to accelerate validation, capture structured evidence across every bring-up milestone, and work directly with internal deployment teams and external customers to ensure AI factories are ready at launch. Your work directly enables the success of NVIDIA's first external product launches! What You Will be Doing: • Set up, adjust, and verify AI factory environments across multi-GPU and multi-node Linux clusters. • Ensure configurations align with guidelines for NCCL, collectives, and distributed training frameworks. • Own the execution of key AI/LLM benchmarks, including setup, orchestration, result collection, and analysis. • Investigate and resolve issues when training jobs or benchmarks fail, hang, or underperform. • Build and improve observability for AI factories (metrics, logs, traces, dashboards) to understand workload behavior and system health. • Develop automation (Python, Shell) for running benchmarks, collecting results, and performing regression checks • Examine communication patterns and NCCL usage for AI/LLM workloads, concentrating on collectives such as AllReduce and AllToAll. • Recommend changes to job configuration, parallelism strategies, and cluster settings to improve throughput, latency, and scaling efficiency. • Work closely with hardware, software, networking, datacenter, and product teams to prepare AI factories for customer use. • Contribute to documentation, guidelines, and readiness collateral that support internal collaborators and customer-facing teams. What We Need to See: • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, or related field. • More than 6+ years of experience managing Linux-based systems in HPC, distributed systems, or extensive AI/ML settings. • Hands-on experience running AI/ML workloads on multi-GPU and/or multi-node clusters, with practical knowledge of NCCL. • Solid grasp of collective communication patterns, particularly AllReduce and AllToAll, and how they are applied in contemporary ML/LLM training. • Familiarity with LLM training and/or inference workflows using frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow. • Proficiency with Python and Shell/Bash for scripting, automation, and tooling. • Experience with benchmarking (crafting, executing, and interpreting performance benchmarks). • Comfortable working with observability data (metrics, logs, dashboards) to troubleshoot and optimize complex distributed workloads. • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams. Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd: • Experience with AI factory or large-scale AI infrastructure build, deployment, or operations. • Background in HPC performance engineering, SRE, or systems performance analysis for GPU-accelerated environments. • Familiarity with observability stacks (e.g., metrics/monitoring, logging, tracing systems) used for large distributed systems. • Experience building automation and CI-style pipelines for running and validating benchmarks at scale. • Demonstrated desire to use AI to solve practical problems, improve workflows, and guide data-driven decisions. NVIDIA is widely considered one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. S
