Telecom networks are becoming AI-native, cloud-native, and software-defined. Our Telecom team is building a GPU-accelerated AI-RAN platform that transforms how radios and basebands are designed and deployed across 5G, 5G-Advanced, and 6G. In the role of Lead SoC Product Architect for Telecom AI RAN (RU/DU), you define SoC and platform architecture for radio and distributed unit products. You develop NVIDIA’s AI-RAN roadmap. You work directly with top operators and NEPs to bring software-defined baseband to production at scale.
What you’ll be doing:
- Define the SoC product family and roadmap concerning Radio Access Networks in telecommunications. Partition responsibilities for CPU, GPU, and accelerators. Set power and cost targets. Specify scalability from coordinated RU/DU appliances to cloud-hosted O-DU.
- Perform detailed workload and use-case analysis pertaining to RU and DU (FR1/FR2, MIMO layers, bandwidth, carrier aggregation, CoMP, mMIMO), and map these requirements into SoC features, memory hierarchies, accelerators, and interconnect.
- Drive competitive analysis versus traditional baseband ASICs and alternative vRAN / O-RAN solutions, including performance, perf/W, silicon cost, flexibility, and upgradeability; use these insights to refine SoC and system direction.
- Collect and synthesize customer and ecosystem requirements from operators, NEPs, and software partners, and feed them into SoC, board, and software roadmaps with clear, prioritized product requirements.
- Collaborate with NVIDIA’s RAN software, AI, and cloud-native engineering teams to ensure that the SoC architecture, reference platforms, and SDKs support efficient implementation of AI-native RAN applications and rapid adoption of new 3GPP/O-RAN releases.
- Present deeply technical content to customers, partners, and internal leadership, clearly explaining architectural tradeoffs, performance results, and roadmap proposals for RU and DU products.
What we need to see:
- MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent experience.
- 15+ years of experience in wireless RAN/baseband architecture or SoC product definition, with significant time focused on 4G/5G L1/L2 and/or O-RAN / vRAN systems.
- Proven track record defining SoC or platform architectures for high-performance communications or signal-processing products, including hardware/software partitioning, accelerator strategy, and memory / I/O requirements.
- Comprehensive knowledge of 3GPP RAN standards (4G/5G, NR, NR-Advanced) and O-RAN split architectures, including the functions of radio and distributed units, fronthaul, timing, and synchronization. Understanding of how these affect compute, latency, and bandwidth needs of radio and distributed units.
- Strong knowledge of L1/PHY algorithms (OFDM, MIMO, beamforming, channel estimation, LDPC/FEC). Understand how they run on central processors, graphics processors, and dedicated accelerators. Practical experience with one commercial-grade 4G/5G PHY or MAC implementation required.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
- Direct involvement in architecting GPU- or accelerator-based RAN or signal-processing systems, or in bringing a major vRAN / O-RAN product from concept to commercial deployment.
- Experience defining or implementing AI-native RAN use cases (e.g., AI-assisted scheduling, channel prediction, traffic forecasting, anomaly detection, or energy optimization) and understanding their impact on RU/DU compute and memory.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Product Architect
Document your architecture decisions formally
PERM requires proving your role is a specialty occupation. Build a portfolio of technical design documents, architecture review records, and stakeholder sign-offs that clearly show a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field is the standard entry requirement for your position.
Target employers with PERM filing history
Search the DOL's OFLC wage disclosure data for Product Architect or Solutions Architect LCA filings. Employers who have completed PERM for similar roles already have internal processes and legal counsel in place, which shortens your path through labor certification significantly.
Verify your prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Use the OFLC Wage Search to identify the wage level your employer will certify under. A Level III or IV wage designation signals a senior role, which strengthens specialty occupation arguments and reduces the risk of a DOL audit during the PERM recruitment phase.
Find sponsoring Product Architect roles on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Product Architect openings by employers with active green card sponsorship history. This cuts out the guesswork of cold applications and puts you in front of companies already set up to run PERM and I-140 filings for this role type.
Negotiate priority date protection into your offer
Ask your employer to file I-140 as early as possible and request premium processing if available. Your priority date locks in your place in the EB-2 or EB-3 queue, and an approved I-140 lets you retain that date even if you change employers under AC21 portability rules.
Clarify the EB-2 versus EB-3 classification upfront
Product Architect roles often sit at the boundary between EB-2 and EB-3 depending on how the employer defines minimum requirements. Confirm with your employer's counsel which category they plan to file under before PERM begins, since reclassifying later restarts the labor certification process.

Find Product Architect JobsProduct Architect Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Architect role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Product Architect roles can qualify under either category. EB-2 applies when the position requires an advanced degree or the equivalent, such as a bachelor's plus five years of progressive experience in systems architecture or software engineering. EB-3 covers roles where a bachelor's degree alone meets the minimum requirement. Your employer's attorney determines the classification during PERM, so the job description's stated minimum education level is the deciding factor, not your personal credentials.
How is green card sponsorship different from H-1B for a Product Architect?
H-1B is a temporary, employer-tied status with an annual lottery cap that creates real uncertainty each cycle. EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency with no cap lottery at the petition level, though per-country annual limits can create wait times for applicants from India or China. The PERM process is also longer upfront, typically 12 to 24 months from labor certification to I-485 filing, but the result is permanent authorization rather than a status you need to renew or re-win.
What does the PERM labor certification process involve for this role?
Your employer files a PERM application with DOL after running a prescribed recruitment campaign to demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available for the Product Architect position. DOL reviews the application and, if certified, the employer files I-140 with USCIS. The recruitment ads must list the actual minimum requirements for the role, so inflating qualifications to fit your profile after the fact is not permitted and can invalidate the certification.
How do I find Product Architect jobs that include green card sponsorship?
Most job postings don't advertise PERM sponsorship explicitly, which makes targeting employers with a documented filing history far more effective than reading job descriptions. Migrate Mate filters Product Architect openings by employers with active green card sponsorship history, so you can focus your applications on companies already equipped to run PERM and I-140 for this role type rather than discovering late in the process that sponsorship isn't available.
Can I switch employers after my I-140 is approved without losing my green card progress?
Yes, under AC21 portability rules, an approved I-140 lets you move to a new employer in a same or similar occupational classification without losing your priority date, provided your I-485 has been pending for at least 180 days. For Product Architects, the key is that your new role must be comparable in duties and requirements. USCIS reviews portability claims when your adjustment of status application is adjudicated, so keeping documentation of your new role's responsibilities is important.
