NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform is enabling the generational improvements in large language models, while the scale and complexity of these models are creating new challenges in computational efficiency. We are seeking a strong technical leader to drive a unified strategy for making LLMs more efficient from research through deployment. This role will bring together model innovation, systems expertise, and hardware awareness to ensure that new capabilities can be delivered within practical constraints of compute, memory, power, and cost. You will lead a multidisciplinary effort, establish the technical direction for LLM efficiency, and help shape how future models and computing platforms are designed together. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who enjoys finding fundamental bottlenecks, challenging conventional boundaries between disciplines, and turning research ideas into scalable, real-world improvements.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead cross-layer efforts to improve the efficiency of large language models across model architecture, training and inference systems.
- Analyze how LLM workloads map to GPUs, memory systems, interconnects, and distributed infrastructure, and identify opportunities for model-system-hardware co-design.
- Establish a measurement-driven efficiency roadmap and lead projects from early investigation through production deployment.
- Partner with model researchers, systems engineers, compiler and kernel developers, and hardware architects to influence future model, software, and hardware roadmaps.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- MS or PhD degree, or equivalent experience, in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of relevant experience in AI systems, model architecture, computer architecture, high-performance computing, or performance optimization.
- Strong understanding of LLM architectures, training and inference workloads, and the tradeoffs between model quality, computational cost, memory footprint, latency, throughput, and power.
- Strong background in performance analysis, roofline modeling, workload characterization, benchmarking, and hardware-aware optimization.
- Proven ability to provide technical leadership and drive complex optimization projects from concept to production.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- A track record of delivering measurable improvement throughput, cost per token, energy per token, memory efficiency, or time to train.
- A first-principles - measure, model, optimize, and deliver - approach to improving LLM efficiency.
- Familiarity with low-precision computation, quantization, sparsity, Mixture-of-Experts, long-context inference, and speculative decoding.
- Experience co-designing model architectures with training, inference, compiler, or hardware constraints.
- Experience influencing accelerator, system, or datacenter architecture based on future AI workload requirements.
NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us. Are you a creative architect interested in pushing silicon to its highest performance and efficiency? If so, we want to hear from you! Come, join our DL Architecture team and help build the real-time, cost-effective AI computing platform driving our success in this exciting and quickly growing field.
COMPENSATION
- Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 184,000 USD - 287,500 USD for Level 4, and 224,000 USD - 356,500 USD for Level 5.
- You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until September 7, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.
NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
NVIDIA is committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and proud to be an equal opportunity employer. As we highly value diversity in our current and future employees, we do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status or any other characteristic protected by law.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Efficiency Engineer
Align your credentials to U.S. specialty occupation standards
The E-3 visa requires your degree to match the role's field. An industrial engineering or operations research degree maps cleanly to Efficiency Engineer duties. If your Australian three-year bachelor's is questioned, gather transcripts showing it's equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree.
Target employers with active DOL LCA filing history
Employers must file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before sponsoring your E-3. Search the DOL's OFLC disclosure database for companies that have certified LCAs for industrial engineering or process improvement roles recently, that shows they know the process.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the full process
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles LCA preparation, DOL submission, and consulate appointment documentation end-to-end, so your employer doesn't need an immigration attorney on retainer to get you started.
Book your consulate appointment immediately after LCA certification
DOL LCA certification typically takes seven business days. Schedule your U.S. consulate appointment in Australia as soon as certification comes through, appointment availability in Sydney and Melbourne can stretch several weeks depending on demand.
Frame your process improvement results in U.S. industry terms
U.S. hiring managers in manufacturing, logistics, and tech evaluate Efficiency Engineer candidates on lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen outcomes. Translate your Australian project results into those frameworks explicitly on your resume to pass initial screening filters.
E-3 Visa Efficiency Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Efficiency Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for E-3 visa sponsorship roles in the U.S. You can filter by job title and see which employers have a history of sponsoring work visas, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never navigated the process before.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Efficiency Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as industrial engineering, systems engineering, or operations research. Roles where any degree is acceptable regardless of discipline won't meet the specialty occupation standard, so review the job description carefully before applying.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Efficiency Engineer candidates?
The E-3 has no lottery, no annual cap pressure, and requires only a certified LCA rather than a full USCIS petition. For Efficiency Engineers, that means a faster path from offer to start date, often within four to six weeks, compared to the H-1B's registration lottery and multi-month adjudication timeline.
Can I change employers while on an E-3 as an Efficiency Engineer?
Yes, but you need to start the process fresh with the new employer. They must file a new LCA with the DOL, and you'll need to attend a new consulate appointment in Australia to get a new visa stamp in your passport. You can't simply transfer the existing E-3 to a new company the way some other visa types allow portability.
