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 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 a global leader in accelerated computing, powering breakthroughs in AI, graphics, autonomous vehicles, and scientific simulation. Inside NVIDIA, the Software Power Profiling team is the power measurement authority for our most strategic platforms — RTX Spark, DGX Spark, discrete GPU desktop and notebook, and data center. The team measures power and performance-per-watt, qualifies power targets, co-engineers battery life with OEMs, runs nightly regression farms across the device fleet, and builds the profiling infrastructure — frameworks, analytics dashboards, and automated regression farms — that the rest of NVIDIA relies on to understand and optimize power. What you'll be doing • Lead, grow, and mentor a cross-site team of power and infrastructure engineers across Pune and Bangalore — setting individual and team roadmaps, development plans, and clear ownership across all mandates. • Drive the team's power profiling authority across the full product lifecycle: pre-silicon power engagement, power target qualification, regression monitoring, battery-life validation, and external software release qualification — including nightly development-branch and release-branch power and perf/watt monitoring across discrete GPU and data-center platforms. • Own the physical lab — run a temperature-controlled, instrumented measurement lab across two sites, covering DUT fleet management, board procurement, intake and logistics, board instrumentation and rework, DAQ and power-path integrity, rack build-out, and cross-geo capacity planning. • Shape measurability from pre-silicon through production — engage pre-silicon to challenge power modelling assumptions and establish measurement confidence levels; drive instrumented boards, rail maps, on-board sensors, and DAQ adapter design; specify, track, and escalate measurement prerequisites (telemetry, software build, validation, and agreed power targets with guard band policy), holding the requirement and escalating when it slips. • Close power gaps and own release readiness — quantify and attribute power gaps to rail, IP, feature, and residency; drive debug and optimization alongside software and hardware power owners through experiments and recovery confirmation; deliver the power verdict that feeds program go/no-go decisions, backed by qualification data on every external software drop. • Lead cross-company power engagement — converge measurement methodology and tooling with OEMs and software power owners; co-engineer shared battery-life targets, conduct joint root-cause analysis where measurements diverge, and maintain a common bug-and-analysis stream. • Own the team's infrastructure portfolio and energy compliance — drive the in-house power profiling framework, power analytics dashboard, and automated power regression farm as production-grade shared assets; deliver energy-regulation compliance evidence (idle, standby, and off-mode power) required to clear product release gates. • What we need to see • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 8+ years of overall industry experience. • 5+ years of engineering management experience, with a proven track record of delivering complex software and infrastructure at velocity across distributed teams. • Deep background in power systems, computer architecture, and SoC/platform power — with hands-on experience in power measurement, analysis, or power-stack debugging. • Experience running or closely supporting a hardware measurement lab — instrumentation, device fleet, and the logistics that keep it productive. • Demonstrated ability to engage across the full program lifecycle — from pre-silicon power modeling through bring-up, qualification, and post-commercialization sustain
