New College Graduates Overview:
We offer many full-time employment paths for recent graduates, which provide accelerated training in a fast-paced work environment, cross-functional working opportunities, and talent mobility. New college graduates are provided with mentorship, networking, and leadership opportunities, which give our new team members life-long connections and skills.
Summary of Role:
We are seeking an early-career AI/ML Systems Engineer to deepen our workload analysis and performance modeling capabilities. You will take ownership of workload characterization and hardware mapping studies, contribute to cross-functional architecture discussions, and help define the team's methodology for estimating and validating performance KPIs. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to sit at the intersection of machine learning, computer architecture, and systems optimization.
Essential Responsibilities include:
- You will independently study AI/ML workloads across the inference and training stack — including CNNs, transformers, recurrent architectures, and emerging model classes — and build quantitative models of their behavior on real and projected hardware. This includes identifying compute, memory bandwidth, and power bottlenecks using techniques like roofline analysis, operational intensity profiling, and bottleneck decomposition.
- You will work closely with SoC and IP architecture teams to map workload demands to hardware capabilities and feed your findings into discussions around design tradeoffs, ISA extensions, memory subsystem sizing, and on-chip vs. off-chip bandwidth allocation. On the software side, you will engage with compiler and runtime teams to identify where kernel optimization, scheduling, or memory layout changes can close performance gaps.
- A significant part of the role involves estimation and modeling before silicon is available — building spreadsheet or code-based models that project achievable throughput, latency, and efficiency for candidate architectures, then validating those models against silicon or simulation data.
- You will communicate findings through written reports, presentations, and design review participation. Clarity and rigor in your technical communication are as important as the analysis itself.
Other Responsibilities:
- Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
- Exposure to AI compiler toolchains is preferred. Familiarity with MLIR, IREE, TVM, or similar compilation infrastructure — even at a conceptual level — will help you engage productively with compiler and runtime engineers and understand how graph-level and kernel-level transformations affect the workloads you analyze.
Experience defining or refining performance KPI frameworks, prior work on edge or mobile SoC workload characterization, hands-on experimentation with MLIR or IREE compilation pipelines, and knowledge of RISC-V architecture and Vector/Matrix extensions is a strong plus.
Required Qualifications:
- Education – Graduating with Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field from an accredited degree program. With 0-2 years of relevant industry experience in systems engineering, hardware architecture, ML infrastructure, or performance engineering.
- Must have at least an overall 3.0 GPA and proven good academic standing.
Language Fluency - English (Written & Verbal)
Preferred Qualifications:
- Prior related internship or co-op experience.
- Demonstrated prior leadership experience in the workplace, school projects, competitions, etc.
- Project management skills, i.e. the ability to innovate and execute solutions that matter; the ability to navigate ambiguity.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong planning & organizational skills.
- Strong mathematical reasoning is a firm requirement. You should be able to construct and manipulate analytical performance models from first principles, deriving bandwidth utilization bounds, reasoning about arithmetic intensity across operator types, estimating latency under queuing or pipeline constraints, and interpreting numerical precision effects on model accuracy and hardware efficiency.
- The ability to move fluidly between mathematical formulation and engineering intuition is central to doing this job well.
You are comfortable writing analysis code in Python and can build clean, reproducible models. You communicate technical results well in both written and spoken form, and you can hold your own in architecture discussions with specialists on either the hardware or software side.
Location:
This is a 100% in-office role (Dallas)
Expected Salary Range
$72,000.00 - $124,800.00
The exact Salary will be determined based on qualifications, experience and location.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Systems Engineer
Verify your degree field matches the role
Systems engineer roles require a bachelor's degree in a directly related field like computer science, electrical engineering, or systems engineering. A business or general IT degree won't support an H-1B1 Chile application, even with years of hands-on experience.
Pull prevailing wage data before negotiating
Your employer must certify your offered wage meets the DOL prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and work location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I through IV thresholds for systems engineer roles in your target city before any salary discussion.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Not every company that wants to hire you knows how to sponsor an H-1B1 Chile visa. Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers with verified Labor Condition Application filing history, so you're pursuing companies that have already completed the DOL certification process.
Confirm specialty occupation status using O*NET
Before your consular interview, verify that your specific systems engineer role aligns with the O*NET occupation profile showing a bachelor's degree as the standard entry requirement. Officers ask about the theoretical and practical application of engineering knowledge, so know your job zone classification.
Get your LCA certified before scheduling the interview
Unlike the H-1B, there's no USCIS petition step, but your employer must still obtain a certified LCA from DOL before you can apply at the consulate. Don't book your visa appointment until you have the certified LCA in hand or you'll need to reschedule.
Ask about E-Verify enrollment during the offer stage
Some federal contractors and employers in certain states are required to use E-Verify. Ask during the offer process whether the company is enrolled, since E-Verify participation affects your onboarding timeline and your employer's ability to verify your H-1B1 visa status quickly after entry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a systems engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes, systems engineer roles qualify when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related technical field such as computer science, electrical engineering, or systems engineering. Roles where any bachelor's degree is acceptable, regardless of field, won't meet the specialty occupation standard. Review the O*NET profile for your SOC code to confirm the degree requirement before applying.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa differ from the H-1B for systems engineers?
The H-1B1 Chile visa skips the lottery entirely and is processed at the U.S. consulate in Chile rather than through USCIS, which removes the petition stage and the associated filing fees. The annual cap is 1,400 visas and has never been exhausted, so timing isn't the bottleneck it is for H-1B. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, so immigrant visa applications require careful sequencing.
Where can I find systems engineer employers that already sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by verified LCA filing history, so you can identify employers who have already completed the DOL Labor Condition Application process for systems engineer roles. That filing history is a strong signal the company understands the H-1B1 Chile sponsorship process and won't drop the offer when legal counsel reviews costs.
What does my employer need to file before I can attend my consular interview?
Your employer must obtain a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL through the FLAG system before your consular appointment. The LCA certifies that your offered wage meets the prevailing wage for your role and location. There's no USCIS I-129 petition required for H-1B1 Chile, but the certified LCA is a required document at the interview and must be in hand before you schedule.
Can I switch employers after entering the U.S. on an H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes, but your new employer must obtain a new certified LCA and you'll need to apply for a new H-1B1 visa at the consulate before starting work with the new company. Unlike the H-1B, there's no portability rule allowing you to start with a new employer upon filing. Plan for a gap between roles if a consular appointment is required, especially during high-demand periods.
