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).

Life at Intel We are seeking an experienced SoC CPU power-management professional to define and drive the power-management architecture for next-generation mobile and desktop client processors. In this role, you will own end-to-end CPU power and performance requirements within the broader SoC, define differentiated architectural features and control mechanisms, and guide their implementation from early product definition through post-silicon validation. You will work closely with CPU microarchitecture, SoC integration, silicon design, firmware, operating system, validation, thermal, and product teams to deliver industry-leading performance, energy efficiency, and user experiences. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: • Own the power-management and performance architecture for mobile and desktop CPUs as part of the CPU architecture team. Define architectural capabilities, develop innovative techniques, guide implementation, and drive energy efficiency across operating conditions and product segments. • Define and analyze CPU power and performance requirements, budgets, and interfaces within the SoC, working across CPU cores, shared caches, interconnects, memory, accelerators, and platform IP. • Create and maintain workload-based CPU and SoC power and performance models and targets; correlate predictions with pre- and post-silicon data; and apply the results to improve current implementations and future architectures across idle, sustained, burst, and peak workloads. • Partner with firmware and operating system teams to define end-to-end CPU and platform power-management capabilities, including DVFS policies, clock and power gating, idle-state management, telemetry, residency, latency, and quality-of-service tradeoffs. • Influence CPU microarchitecture and SoC fabric, memory, and I/O architecture to optimize power efficiency, performance, throughput, latency, and quality of service under representative real-world workloads. • Lead cross-functional architecture and design reviews, drive tradeoff decisions across power, performance, area, cost, thermals, and product experience, and align CPU, SoC integration, validation, firmware, operating system, and product teams. • Translate product usage models and competitive insights into clear architectural requirements, feature specifications, and measurable success criteria; track execution and communicate risks, decisions, and progress to technical and product leadership. • A successful candidate will also demonstrate: • System-level thinking and the ability to connect detailed design decisions to CPU, SoC, and product-level outcomes. • Strong analytical problem-solving skills, with an emphasis on innovation, feasibility assessment, and disciplined exploration of architectural tradeoffs. • Technical leadership and communication skills to influence CPU architecture, SoC design, firmware, validation, and product roadmaps across organizational boundaries. • Curiosity, initiative, and a willingness to expand deep technical expertise into broader architecture ownership while advancing energy-efficient computing.
