Every day, tens of millions of people come to Roblox to explore, create, play, learn, and connect with friends in 3D immersive digital experiences– all created by our global community of developers and creators. At Roblox, we’re building the tools and platform that empower our community to bring any experience that they can imagine to life. Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device. We’re on a mission to connect a billion people with optimism and civility, and looking for amazing talent to help us get there. A career at Roblox means you’ll be working to shape the future of human interaction, solving unique technical challenges at scale, and helping to create safer, more civil shared experiences for everyone.
As a member of the Infrastructure Foundation Hardware Engineering team, you will play a key role in enabling our mission to deliver a reliable, high-performing, and cost-efficient infrastructure that powers the world’s play. In this specialized role, you will be the technical lead for our GPU and AI accelerator ecosystem. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle of GPU hardware, from initial architectural evaluation and firmware qualification to large-scale fleet integration and performance tuning. You will ensure that Roblox’s massive-scale rendering and ML workloads run on the most optimized and stable hardware possible.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
You Will
- Architect & Prototype: Prototype next-generation GPU-accelerated hardware platforms, ensuring seamless integration between high-density compute nodes, high-speed interconnects (NVLink/PCIe Gen5/6), and system firmware.
- GPU Optimization: Drive the integration, performance testing, and debugging of GPUs in our fleet, focusing specifically on hardware-level optimizations, driver tuning, and thermal/power management.
- Validation & Certification: Develop and execute rigorous evaluation and stress-testing strategies for GPU-heavy server platforms to ensure they meet Roblox’s unique demands for real-time rendering and low-latency AI inference.
- Firmware & Systems: Lead firmware qualification (BIOS/BMC) and troubleshooting, implementing automation systems to manage GPU health, firmware updates.
- Vendor Collaboration: Provide technical guidance and deep-dive feedback to hardware vendors. Lead critical investigations into component-level failures, triaging issues across the hardware, driver, and kernel layers.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Mechanical Engineer Jobs at Roblox Jobs
Align your portfolio to hardware infrastructure
Roblox's mechanical engineering needs center on data center cooling, server rack systems, and physical infrastructure. Frame your portfolio around thermal management, structural load analysis, or facilities-scale hardware rather than consumer product design.
Time your application around H-1B cap deadlines
If you need an H-1B, USCIS registration opens in early March. Roblox would need to register you before that window closes. Starting conversations with their recruiting team in January gives both sides enough runway to move through screening before the deadline.
Highlight experience with large-scale physical systems
Roblox operates at a scale where facility-level mechanical reliability matters directly to platform uptime. Candidates who can demonstrate experience with high-density power and cooling systems, or hyperscale data center build-outs, signal immediate operational relevance.
Use Migrate Mate to identify open roles by visa type
Mechanical Engineer openings at Roblox span different teams and sponsorship structures. Use Migrate Mate to filter current Roblox postings by your specific visa type so you apply only to roles where your work authorization is already supported.
Prepare for PERM documentation early if targeting a Green Card
If you're targeting long-term permanent residency, ask your recruiter about Roblox's PERM filing practices during the offer stage. DOL PERM timelines can run 12 to 18 months, so understanding where the process starts relative to your I-140 filing matters for planning.

Find Mechanical Engineer at Roblox JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Roblox sponsor H-1B visas for Mechanical Engineers?
Yes, Roblox sponsors H-1B visas for Mechanical Engineers. The company has a consistent pattern of filing across engineering functions, including hardware and infrastructure roles. If you need H-1B sponsorship, raise it early in the recruiting process so your timeline aligns with USCIS registration, which opens annually in early March.
Which visa types does Roblox commonly sponsor for Mechanical Engineer roles?
Roblox sponsors several work visa categories for Mechanical Engineers, including H-1B for most international candidates, E-3 for Australian citizens, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals under USMCA, and F-1 OPT for recent graduates. Candidates pursuing permanent residency can also be supported through EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card pathways depending on qualifications and role level.
How do I apply for Mechanical Engineer jobs at Roblox?
You can browse and apply for Mechanical Engineer positions at Roblox directly through their careers site, or use Migrate Mate to filter open roles by visa sponsorship type so you target listings where your work authorization is already supported. Applications typically move through a recruiter screen, a technical phone interview, and a final loop covering mechanical design, systems analysis, and cross-functional problem-solving.
What qualifications does Roblox expect for Mechanical Engineer candidates requiring visa sponsorship?
Roblox generally looks for a bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field. For sponsored roles, your degree field needs to align with the job duties because specialty occupation status is required for H-1B and similar visa categories. Hands-on experience with data center infrastructure, thermal systems, or hardware at scale is consistently valued across Roblox's mechanical engineering postings.
How do I plan my job search timeline as an international Mechanical Engineer targeting Roblox?
If you're on F-1 OPT, your 60-day grace period and OPT expiration date should anchor your search timeline. For H-1B, USCIS registration opens in early March, with an October 1 start date for approved petitions. Starting your application process with Roblox at least three to four months before any critical deadline gives both you and the employer enough time to complete interviews and initiate the sponsorship process.
