Topic Content:
The rapid advancement of AI Agents is set to have a far-reaching and transformative impact on daily life. As the hardware bridge linking AI Agents to the physical world and end users, intelligent hardware acts as a vital gateway for agents to perceive their environment and recognize user intent. Enabling AI Agents to maintain round-the-clock environmental awareness and efficiently capture real-time user intentions is essential to improving their everyday service experience. This topic seeks to overcome the limitations of conventional visual perception systems. By deeply integrating sensing and computing, it explores full-stack innovation spanning from low-level hardware to high-level algorithms. Key efforts include developing next-generation sensors with real-time understanding capabilities, investigating non-traditional visual capture and compression techniques, and designing novel hardware architectures to run advanced algorithms—enabling highly efficient coordination across sensing, processing, and communication.
Topic Challenge:
Break free from the framework of conventional sensing systems, explore novel sensors, signal processing and compression schemes to achieve highly energy-efficient sensing tasks, while enabling seamless integration with large models.
Topic Value:
Breakthroughs in this research direction will enable intelligent hardware to better connect AI, users, and daily life. Against the backdrop of the AI Agent era, this will unlock the gateway to the next generation of intelligent hardware terminals and open up broader technological possibilities.
Responsibilities:
- Innovate and develop a power-efficient, low-latency, highly-intelligent all-day machine perception vision system.
- Develop necessary training, data collection/generation pipeline along with state of art ML algorithm/framework for understanding of the scene and user behaviors.
- Map the cutting edge ML algorithm to the HW accelerator, identify performance bottleneck, optimize performance and efficiency, propose more efficient HW/SW co-design for AI accelerator.
- Collaborate with the x-functions team and translate system requirements into a proper cloud-edge workload partition and edge ML accelerator HW/SW requirement.
- Perform quantitative evaluations through the use of system modeling and influence sensor, soc and software co-design.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications
- Currently Pursuing PhD in the fields of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics and related technical discipline.
- Experience in research in the fields of computer vision, edge ML perception algorithm and/or related AI accelerator design.
- Experience with programming tools and languages such as C/C++, MATLAB, Python.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiar with appropriate ML frameworks and model deployment.
- Familiar with image sensor and isp.
- Good track record on top-tier conference or journal publication.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Cybersecurity Jobs at ByteDance Jobs
Tailor your resume to ByteDance's security stack
ByteDance's cybersecurity roles frequently require experience with cloud-native environments, large-scale data protection, and zero-trust architecture. Align your resume language to these specifics rather than generic security credentials, so recruiters can map your background to their open headcount.
Pursue certifications that clear ByteDance's bar
CISSP, OSCP, and cloud security certifications like AWS Security Specialty directly match the competencies ByteDance lists in cybersecurity job descriptions. Having at least one before applying removes a common screening filter and strengthens your specialty occupation case for H-1B purposes.
Understand which visa fits your citizenship
ByteDance sponsors H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 visas for cybersecurity roles, plus EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways. If you hold Australian or Singapore citizenship, the E-3 or H-1B1 routes skip the H-1B lottery entirely and can accelerate your start date significantly.
Time your application around H-1B registration windows
The H-1B lottery registration opens in March each year. If you're targeting a ByteDance cybersecurity offer that requires H-1B sponsorship, aim to have your interview process completed by late February so an offer can be registered in time for that cycle.
Clarify sponsorship scope before signing your offer
Ask your ByteDance recruiter whether the offer covers only initial visa filing or also includes Green Card sponsorship through PERM and I-140 filing. Some large tech employers distinguish between these two commitments, and confirming upfront prevents surprises after you've accepted.
Find ByteDance cybersecurity openings through Migrate Mate
Cybersecurity roles at ByteDance that include visa sponsorship are not always clearly labeled on general job boards. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for ByteDance cybersecurity positions where sponsorship is confirmed, so you're targeting the right openings from the start.

Find Cybersecurity at ByteDance JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does ByteDance sponsor H-1B visas for Cybersecurity roles?
Yes, ByteDance sponsors H-1B visas for cybersecurity positions. The company has a consistent pattern of filing H-1B petitions for roles across threat intelligence, security engineering, and application security. If you're subject to the H-1B cap, your offer needs to be in place before the March registration window to be included in that year's lottery.
Which visa types does ByteDance sponsor for Cybersecurity positions?
ByteDance sponsors H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 visas for cybersecurity roles, along with immigrant visa pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards. Australian citizens can pursue the E-3, which has no lottery and renews indefinitely. Singapore citizens qualify for the H-1B1, also lottery-exempt. Both are faster paths than the standard H-1B for eligible candidates.
How do I apply for Cybersecurity jobs at ByteDance?
Start by identifying open cybersecurity roles at ByteDance that include visa sponsorship. Migrate Mate lets you filter specifically for ByteDance positions where sponsorship is confirmed, which saves time compared to manually checking general job boards. Once you identify a role, apply directly through ByteDance's careers portal and flag your visa status early in the recruiter screen so sponsorship logistics can be confirmed before the process advances.
What qualifications does ByteDance expect for Cybersecurity hires?
ByteDance typically looks for a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, information security, or a closely related field, which also satisfies the specialty occupation requirement for H-1B and E-3 purposes. Practical experience with cloud security, penetration testing, or security operations is weighted heavily. Certifications like CISSP, OSCP, or AWS Security Specialty strengthen your candidacy and your visa petition simultaneously.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take at ByteDance for a Cybersecurity role?
Timeline depends on your visa category. For H-1B, standard processing through USCIS runs several months after the October 1 start date, with premium processing available to cut that to roughly 15 business days. E-3 and H-1B1 applicants typically move faster since both are consular processed without a lottery. Green Card sponsorship via PERM adds substantial time depending on your country of birth and priority date availability.
