NVIDIA is seeking a Senior System Architect: Heterogeneous EDA Systems to solve a complex challenge in accelerated computing: Failure Attribution at Scale. As EDA or equivalent experience workloads scale across thousands of heterogeneous nodes, a single failure can cause massive resource waste. We need an engineer to develop and build an automated framework. This framework will ingest telemetry from CPU and GPU clusters to identify the root cause of job failures in real-time. It will distinguish between hardware faults, infrastructure instability, and software defects.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What You'll Be Doing
- Architect Failure Attribution Frameworks: Build a scalable "flight recorder" for EDA jobs that captures high-fidelity state across the CPU, GPU, and Fabric at the moment of failure.
- Build automated diagnostics that correlate GPU XID errors, PCIe bus failures, and CUDA memory exceptions. Connect these errors with system-level events such as OOM kills or NUMA-related hangs.
- Distributed Logging & Tracing: Implement low-overhead tracing mechanisms (using tracing tools or custom agents) that provide access to job execution across multi-node Slurm or Kubernetes clusters.
- Root Cause Automation: Develop heuristics and models based on machine learning to classify failures as "Hardware Fault," "Software Bug," or "Environment Issue." This reduces the Mean Time to Identify (MTTI) for R&D teams.
- Resiliency Engineering: Work closely with hardware and infrastructure teams to define "signals of impending failure," enabling proactive job migration or check-pointing before a crash occurs.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
What We Need To See
- Distributed Systems Mastery: BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience) with 6+ years in systems programming.
- Experience building automated RCA (Root Cause Analysis) pipelines for HPC or cloud-scale environments.
- CPU Architecture Deep-Dive: Expert knowledge of x86/ARM node-level metrics: IPC (Instructions Per Cycle), cache contention, NUMA imbalance, and hardware interrupts.
- Programming Proficiency: Strong C++ and Python skills, with the ability to build high-performance daemons that monitor system health without impacting workload performance.
- Scale Experience: Familiarity with cluster resource managers (Slurm, LSF, or Kubernetes) and how they manage job lifecycle and signal propagation.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd
- Low-Level Diagnostics: Expert knowledge of the Linux kernel and its error-reporting interfaces (/dev/mcelog, dmesg, journald). Understand how the kernel handles hardware exceptions and memory faults.
- GPU Infrastructure Proficiency: Deep experience with the NVIDIA DCGM (Data Center GPU Manager) and NVIDIA Management Library (NVML) for monitoring device health and capturing state-dumps.
- Experience with tools doing non-intrusive monitoring of application health and syscall-level failure patterns.
- Experience with checkpoint/restore technologies (like CRIU) and their application in long-running EDA flows.
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 March 1, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy. NVIDIA uses AI tools in its recruiting processes.
NVIDIA is committed to fostering a diverse 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 in Systems Architect
Document your degree equivalency before applying
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are accepted for E-3 visa purposes, but your offer letter and LCA must explicitly reference a field-specific degree requirement. Have your transcripts and credentials ready to confirm the specialty occupation match before outreach begins.
Target employers with existing visa infrastructure
Systems Architect roles often sit inside enterprise IT, cloud, or consulting divisions. Focus on organizations that have already filed LCAs for technical staff, as they understand DOL prevailing wage requirements and won't be learning the E-3 process at your expense.
Search for E-3 sponsorship roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters Systems Architect listings by employers with active E-3 sponsorship history, so you're not guessing which companies will engage. Use it to find roles where the hiring team already understands Australian visa requirements.
Clarify the LCA timeline before accepting an offer
Your employer must file and receive a certified LCA from DOL before you can apply at the consulate. Standard DOL processing runs around seven business days. Confirm your start date accounts for this step so there's no gap between offer acceptance and your consulate appointment.
Frame your systems architecture scope in visa terms
Consular officers assess whether your role genuinely requires a theoretical and practical application of specialized knowledge. Document that your position involves enterprise-level design decisions, not general IT support, to satisfy the specialty occupation definition at your interview.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for complex offers
When your role spans multiple worksites or involves a third-party client site, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork. Multi-site arrangements require careful documentation to avoid LCA certification issues that can delay your start date.
E-3 Visa Systems Architect: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Systems Architect jobs that offer E-3 sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for E-3 sponsorship roles. It surfaces Systems Architect positions from employers with a history of sponsoring Australian workers, which cuts out the time spent cold-applying to companies unfamiliar with the E-3 process. Standard job boards don't filter by visa sponsorship type or nationality.
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 a Systems Architect role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field such as computer science, information systems engineering, or software engineering. Roles that accept any bachelor's degree regardless of field can create problems at the LCA or consulate stage, so your job description needs to specify the degree requirement clearly.
How does the E-3 compare to H-1B for Systems Architect roles?
The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been exhausted, so there's no lottery and no registration fee. H-1B visa selection runs around 25% in recent years and requires cap registration each March. For Australian nationals, the E-3 is a direct path to a Systems Architect role without the lottery risk or the twelve-month wait a failed H-1B registration creates.
Can I switch employers on an E-3 while working as a Systems Architect?
You can change employers, but you'll need a new LCA certified by DOL and a new visa stamp if your current visa is tied to your previous employer. There's no portability provision equivalent to H-1B's AC21 rule. Start the new LCA process before your last day if possible to avoid a status gap between roles.
