NVIDIA is looking for an experienced Principal Software Engineer to expand the US-based Networking Hyperscale Engineering Team. Are you craving an opportunity to work directly with top-tier cloud and AI customers, co-develop software that powers their AI superclusters, and influence NVIDIA’s NIC software roadmap? In this role you will do just that for NVIDIA’s high-performance networking stack spanning Linux kernel, RDMA/RoCE, DPDK, DOCA, NCCL, and NIC firmware.
You will be among the first to design and optimize the NIC and communication paths for our next-generation GPU and NIC platforms and help define their role in the modern AI data center. You’ll work closely with some of the best SDK, driver, firmware, and GPU/NIC architects in the industry, as well as domain experts in large-scale training, collectives, and systems performance.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Co-developing NIC software and communication paths with strategic, top-tier customers to enable and scale large AI superclusters.
- Designing and implementing high-performance C/C++ components on Linux using DPDK, kernel-bypass techniques, and RDMA/RoCE.
- Developing and integrating kernel, driver, and NIC firmware features to improve throughput, latency, and reliability for AI workloads.
- Working closely with NCCL and distributed training teams to tune end-to-end collectives performance over NVIDIA networking at scale.
- Owning complex performance and functionality debug with customers and representing the team in cross-org architecture discussions.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
- 15+ years overall experience in a similar or related systems / networking software role.
- A Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- Deep C/C++ expertise, strong Linux systems knowledge, and hands-on experience with kernel networking / RDMA / NIC drivers or DPDK.
- Proven experience developing and debugging network operating systems (NOS) and routing/switching protocols used in AI data centers (for example BGP, ECMP, EVPN/VXLAN).
- Practical experience with DOCA, NIC firmware interfaces, or other hardware-accelerated networking stacks for large-scale systems.
- Excellent communication skills and a track record of effective collaboration with developers, partners, and customers in dynamic environments.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Deep knowledge of Linux kernel / systems internals, SoC / SmartNIC / NIC embedded systems, and data center switches and NOS.
- Hands-on experience with RDMA/RoCE, GPU-related networking (for example GPUDirect RDMA), and high-performance, low-latency data paths.
- Background optimizing NCCL or other distributed training stacks on large GPU clusters for throughput and tail latency.
- Experience working with hyperscalers or major cloud providers on strategic, performance-critical AI networking deployments.
- Contributions to open-source networking, RDMA, DPDK, kernel, CUDA/NCCL, or related ecosystems.
With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are 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 and, due to unprecedented growth, our exclusive engineering teams are rapidly growing. If you're a creative and autonomous engineer with a real passion for technology, we want to hear from you.
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 248,000 USD - 391,000 USD. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until May 19, 2026.

Search Electronics Jobs in WashingtonElectronics E-3 Sponsorship Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
Which electronics companies sponsor E-3 visas in Washington?
Microsoft, Amazon, and Boeing are among the largest employers of electronics and hardware professionals in Washington and have established E-3 visa sponsorship track records. Beyond these, companies like Valve, Expedia, and a range of semiconductor and defense electronics firms in the Seattle and Bellevue area regularly sponsor specialty occupation roles. Sponsorship availability varies by team, headcount, and hiring cycle, so confirming directly with the employer matters.
Which cities in Washington have the most electronics E-3 sponsorship jobs?
Seattle and Redmond account for the largest share of electronics E-3 sponsorship activity in Washington, driven by Microsoft's Redmond headquarters and the broader Seattle tech and aerospace ecosystem. Bellevue and Kirkland also have significant hardware and electronics hiring, particularly in consumer electronics and cloud infrastructure. Smaller clusters exist in Everett, where Boeing's manufacturing operations concentrate, and in Bothell, which has a strong medical electronics and defense presence.
What types of electronics roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship?
Roles that qualify for E-3 sponsorship must meet the specialty occupation standard, meaning they require a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field. In electronics, this typically includes hardware design engineers, embedded systems engineers, RF and signal processing engineers, PCB design engineers, firmware engineers, and VLSI or semiconductor process engineers. General electronics technician roles that don't require a degree in a specific discipline are less likely to qualify, and the employer must be prepared to demonstrate the degree requirement.
How do I find electronics E-3 sponsorship jobs in Washington?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search, letting you filter by visa type, state, and industry to surface electronics E-3 sponsorship roles in Washington without manually screening thousands of listings. Because E-3 eligibility depends on the role meeting specialty occupation requirements and the employer being willing to file, using a platform that pre-filters for sponsorship willingness saves significant time. Migrate Mate's Washington electronics listings pull from employers with documented sponsorship activity.
Are there any Washington-specific considerations for electronics E-3 sponsorship?
Washington has no state income tax, which affects total compensation comparisons but has no bearing on E-3 eligibility or the sponsorship process itself. One practical consideration is that Washington's electronics sector includes significant defense contractors like Boeing and Leidos, and some roles at those employers require security clearances that are not available to E-3 visa holders. Confirming clearance requirements before applying saves time for Australian candidates targeting defense-adjacent electronics positions.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 electronics jobs in Washington?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
