Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

Files H-1B transfers
1 transfer filing in the last year, covering 1 worker. Median labor-condition decision: 38 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role
- Familiarity with GIS tools or spatial analysis for infrastructure data.
Responsibilities
- Design physics-based measurement algorithms.
- Design and execute field validation studies: develop the protocol, sample size, acceptance criteria, and ground truth measurement methods to evaluate our measurement products.
- Collaborate closely with cross functional stakeholders to operationalize new capabilities from measurement to customer delivery.
- Scientific computing: comfortable developing mechanics models and writing experimental analysis pipelines in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent.
- You will be the team's subject matter expert on the mechanics of structures, and your work will directly shape how we measure, validate, and improve our physics-based measurement systems.
- You will develop performant measurement algorithms, lead sensitivity analyses that quantify how physical assumptions and algorithm inputs propagate into measurement error and run field validation studies.
- This position focuses on mechanics modeling, algorithm design, validation study design, and technical leadership rather than fleet-scale data operations or software implementation.
- Design and execute field validation studies:
- develop the protocol, sample size, acceptance criteria, and ground truth measurement methods to evaluate our measurement products.
Requirements
- Deep expertise in solid mechanics: beam theory, stress-strain constitutive models, failure criteria, fracture mechanics, fatigue.
- Experience with nonlinear material behavior-specifically wood, composites, biological materials, or other anisotropic/viscoelastic materials.
- Track record of designing and analyzing physical experiments or validation studies with quantitative rigor-defining acceptance criteria, characterizing uncertainty, and drawing defensible conclusions.
- Strong technical judgment, communication, and ability to translate complex mechanics into actionable engineering recommendations.
- Experience leading technically complex work across multiple stakeholders and deadlines.
- Strong candidates will usually bring deep experience in several of these areas.
Compensation
- Benefits Health, Dental & Vision (Gold and Platinum with some providers plans fully covered) Paid parental leave Alternating day off (every other Monday) "Off the Grid", a two week per year paid break for all employees.
