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
NVIDIA is seeking a highly skilled and versatile Performance Research and Analysis Manager to join our Performance Group. This role will drive end-to-end performance strategy and execution for next-generation NVIDIA data centers and solutions based on GPU systems, NIC, Switch, DPU and Networking technologies. The ideal candidate will oversee, evaluating, and optimizing end-to-end AI GPU cluster-level performance for scaling out large scale distributed training and inference jobs communication. The role will focus heavily on RDMA, Networking Protocols, Collective Communication, Congestion Control, and Load Balancing algorithms. Secondarily, you will lead NVIDIA DPUs and Storage technologies for N-S use cases to support AI Inference jobs. Third, you will drive our Performance Dashboards and Observability for cluster-level performance analysis from a stream line telemetry across NICs, Switches, GPUs, and NVlink. What you'll be doing: • Drive end-to-end performance strategy, characterization, test plans, and optimization for next-generation NVIDIA AI GPU clusters, focusing on large-scale distributed training and inference workloads. • Deeply evaluate and optimize NVIDIA Networking core technologies performance, including RDMA/PRDMA, networking protocols, collective communication (NCCL), congestion control, and load-balancing algorithms. • Work on performance research and analysis of NVIDIA DPUs and storage technologies in North-South (N-S) use cases and deployment scenarios to maximize performance and efficiency for AI inference jobs. • Drive the strategy for performance observability and dashboards across next-generation NVIDIA data center solutions and supercomputers by leveraging scalable, streamlined telemetry pipelines to build performance dashboards and automated analytics based on real-time performance metrics across NICs, Switches, GPUs, and NVLink boundaries. • Perform deep root-cause analysis (RCA) on complex multi-node performance bottlenecks, driving actionable mitigation plans across hardware, firmware, and software teams. What we need to see: • B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or equivalent technical experience. • 8+ overall years of experience and deep expertise in High Performance Networking, RDMA, and Systems level performance. • 3+ years of experience as an engineering team manager leading technical performance or R&D teams. • Hands-on experience analyzing and optimizing collective communication (e.g., NCCL, MPI) and network traffic patterns for large-scale distributed AI workloads (LLM training and inference). • Hands-on experience designing, deploying, and customizing Grafana dashboards for cluster monitoring, alerting, and data visualization. • Exceptional cross-team leadership, analytical thinking, and communication skills to drive alignment across hardware, software, and architecture groups. Ways to stand out from the crowd: • Proven track record of optimizing NCCL, RDMA/RoCEv2, and custom collective algorithms specifically tailored for multi-thousand GPU deployments running LLMs or Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures. • Deep experience tuning advanced network traffic mechanisms such as adaptive routing, PFC/ECN congestion control, and packet-spraying technologies. • Experience building autonomous performance-driven tools, AI-assisted root cause analysis agents, or automated regression frameworks for continuous cluster-level performance evaluation. • Hands-on experience developing custom Grafana plugins, complex dashboard panels, or integrated alert management workflows using PromQL/LogQL for hyperscale or HPC environments.
