NVIDIA is redefining the automotive industry through accelerated computing, artificial intelligence, simulation, and full-stack autonomous vehicle development. The pace and quality of AV development depend on delivering the right sensor, ground-truth, and derived data to machine learning teams reliably, transparently, and at scale. It's truly the data that makes the cars drive!
The AV MLOps Dataset Release team transforms large-scale automotive data into versioned, trustworthy datasets used to train and evaluate machine learning models across the autonomous-driving stack. We are seeking an ML Data Operations Lead to own the customer-facing operational lifecycle of these releases. In this role, you will work at the intersection of machine learning, data engineering, infrastructure, and release operations. You will partner with ML engineers to understand their data needs, translate those needs into actionable release requirements, coordinate execution with the engineering team, and ensure every release is delivered with clear validation, documentation, and communication. This is a senior individual-contributor role. It requires sufficient technical depth to investigate problems, assess delivery risk, and challenge unclear requirements, while focusing primarily on operational ownership rather than developing the underlying data pipelines.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Serve as the primary operational partner for ML engineers and other internal consumers of AV datasets.
- Capture and clarify dataset release requirements, including intended use cases, required signals and labels, data volumes, release cadence, delivery timelines, storage destinations, and acceptance criteria.
- Be responsible for the release calendar and coordinate priorities, dependencies, engineering readiness, and compute capacity across multiple concurrent dataset-release tracks.
- Monitor production release workflows from launch through delivery. Identify failures, stalled tasks, resource constraints, missing data, and other risks, then bring together the appropriate engineers and infrastructure owners to drive resolution.
- Validate release results against expected volumes, signals, versions, and quality criteria before communicating availability to customers.
- Maintain timely, accurate communication with customers regarding release status, risks, incidents, changing estimates, and recovery plans.
- Produce release notes, delivery announcements, known-issue documentation, and handoff information that enable ML teams to understand and use each dataset confidently.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 6+ years of experience in ML data operations, technical service delivery, dataset operations, release operations, technical program execution, or another data-intensive operational role.
- Solid understanding of the machine learning data lifecycle, including data collection, curation, labeling, validation, versioning, release, storage, and consumption by training or evaluation pipelines.
- Ability to use SQL and data-analysis tools to investigate dataset contents, reconcile expected and delivered results, and identify quality or completeness issues.
- Strong customer orientation and skill in translating between ML engineers, data specialists, infrastructure teams, and other technical collaborators.
- Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to produce detailed requirements, release notes, status updates, incident summaries, and operating procedures.
- Excellent judgment when balancing customer timelines, engineering capacity, system reliability, data quality, and competing release priorities.
- Proven track record of influencing without direct authority and driving work to completion across a highly matrixed organization.
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where requirements, data availability, and technical constraints may change quickly.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience operating large-scale dataset generation, materialization, validation, or delivery workflows, especially for autonomous-driving, ADAS, robotics, or computer-vision systems.
- Familiarity with automotive sensor and ground-truth data, including camera, lidar, radar, mapping, calibration, or multimodal datasets.
- Hands-on experience with Python, notebooks, Databricks, dashboards, or lightweight automation used to investigate data and improve operational workflows.
- Experience defining service-level objectives, operational metrics, alerting, incident-management practices, and root-cause corrective actions.
- A track record of converting frequently repeated customer requests or operational problems into standardized, automated, and scalable services.
NVIDIA brings together some of the most skilled and creative people in technology to solve problems that were once considered impossible. You will have the opportunity to work with teams advancing autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, accelerated computing, and large-scale data systems while directly improving the speed and reliability of machine learning development.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a ML Software Engineer
Translate your Australian degree credentials
U.S. employers and USCIS assess whether your Australian bachelor's degree maps to a U.S. equivalent in a relevant field. A three-year computer science degree from an Australian university is generally accepted, but having a credential evaluation letter ready speeds up the LCA and visa paperwork.
Target companies with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify employers who have filed LCAs for ML or software engineering roles. Prior filings signal that the hiring team understands the E-3 visa process and won't stall at the sponsorship conversation.
Frame your ML specialization in the job offer letter
The E-3 requires a direct link between your degree and the role. Ask your employer to specify ML-related responsibilities in the offer letter, such as model development, training pipelines, or inference infrastructure, so the specialty occupation requirement is unambiguous in your visa application.
Start the LCA filing before your start date
Your employer must file a certified LCA with the DOL before you can apply for the E-3 at a U.S. consulate in Australia. The DOL targets seven business days for LCA certification, but you should factor this into your timeline when negotiating your start date with the employer.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the full process
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end, from DOL submission through consulate appointment preparation. This avoids the coordination gaps that typically delay ML engineering hires when legal responsibility is split between HR and outside counsel.
Clarify E-3 portability before accepting counter-offers
If you receive a competing offer while your E-3 is pending or active, each new employer must file a fresh LCA and you must obtain a new visa stamp for that employer. Negotiate your transition timeline with both parties before making a commitment so your status doesn't lapse between roles.
E-3 Visa ML Software Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find ML Software Engineer jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for E-3-eligible roles in the U.S. You can filter by job title, location, and sponsorship availability so you're only seeing employers who understand the E-3 process. Most general job search platforms mix visa statuses without filtering for E-3 specifically, which wastes significant time during outreach.
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 ML Software Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes. ML Software Engineer roles consistently meet the specialty occupation standard because they require at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, machine learning, mathematics, or a closely related field. USCIS and the DOL assess the degree-to-role connection at the LCA stage, so your offer letter should explicitly describe ML-specific responsibilities rather than generic software development tasks.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for ML Software Engineers?
The E-3 has no lottery and no annual numerical cap, so you can apply any time of year once you have a job offer. The H-1B visa is subject to an oversubscribed annual lottery, meaning most applicants wait years or are never selected. For Australian ML engineers with a qualifying offer, the E-3 provides a direct, predictable path that the H-1B cannot guarantee.
What happens to my E-3 status if I want to change employers in the U.S.?
The E-3 is employer-specific. If you change jobs, your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you must obtain a new E-3 visa stamp at a U.S. consulate before starting work, or request a change of status if you're already in the U.S. There is no portability provision like AC21 that applies to the E-3, so plan the transition timeline carefully with both employers.
