- 113 certified filings for “Manager Systems Software” (Architectural and Engineering Managers) in CA: $214k–$248k, median $222k. Most were filed at wage level II (40%) — 2 lottery entries, ≈31% projected selection odds for cap-subject employers. Source: US Department of Labor LCA disclosure data (Oct 2025 – Jun 2026).
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).

• Deploy, operate, and maintain GPU and compute infrastructure in a hardware lab, partnering with hardware, firmware, software, and engineering teams.
• Coordinate rack shipments, receiving, placement, and installation, including power, cooling, and network connections.
• Troubleshoot system issues across hardware, firmware, and software; drive root-cause investigation and coordinate corrective actions with the responsible engineering teams.
• Service systems, including replacing components, cables, and compute trays.
• Manage system and rack enrollment, configuration, and removal through cluster management and provisioning software such as NVIDIA Base Command Manager (BCM) or NVIDIA Infra Controller (NICo).
• Perform firmware and software updates, verify system configurations, and run system diagnostics and system health checks before releasing hardware to engineering teams.
• Develop scripts and automation to simplify routine maintenance, diagnostics, configuration checks, and inventory tracking.
• Maintain accurate hardware inventory, IP address reservations, and connectivity records; document procedures and share knowledge with team members.
What We Need to See:
• Ability to work on site in a hardware lab environment 5 days a week.
