from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Green-card follow-through: 100%
Of 5 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 0 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 453 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers
2 transfer filings in the last year, covering 2 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 53 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
- This position offers the chance to innovate at the intersection of precision mechanics and cutting-edge optics, contributing to products that push the boundaries of wearable technology.
- If you're passionate about resourceful problem-solving and turning complex challenges into robust solutions, this is an opportunity to grow with a team that's shaping the future of augmented reality.
Responsibilities
- Design and integrate precision mechanical systems, including robotics, linear motors, encoders, air bearings, and exact constraint mechanisms, to achieve micron-level accuracy in manufacturing equipment.
- Lead the mechanical design of dispensing and curing systems, optical positioners, and metrology tools to ensure reliable performance in clean room environments.
- Perform design analysis, simulations, and bench-top prototyping to validate equipment functionality under varying priorities and constraints.
- Optimize machine frames and precision mechanisms for stability, repeatability, and ease of assembly.
- Troubleshoot and iterate on designs based on testing feedback, balancing scrappy resourcefulness with rigorous process adherence.
- Work cross-functionally with electrical, software, and manufacturing teams to integrate components into complete systems. Also work with OEM's and contract manufacturers to create multiple instances of your system designs.
- Document designs through specifications, drawings, manuals, and testing procedures to support scalable production.
- 5+ years of professional experience in mechanical design for precision manufacturing equipment or automation systems.
- Ability to conduct design analysis, including FEA, tolerance stack-ups, and failure mode assessments.
- Experience in prototyping, testing, and iterating on mechanical designs in a resource-constrained environment.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- Proficiency in simulation tools like ANSYS or MATLAB for mechanical optimization.
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with CAD software (CREO for modeling complex assemblies preferred).
Skills
- A new paradigm of computing
- Relocation assistance is available for non-local candidates.
Benefits
- Collaborate on the development of machine vision systems integration, pneumatic actuators, valving, system controls and sensor integration and electrical panels for automated process equipment.
- Experience with machine vision cameras or optical systems in precision applications.
- Background in optics manufacturing, machine vision, robotics, or complex capital equipment.
Company info
- We are known for our unmatched optics stack and have developed ultra-lightweight waveguides and display systems that advance what is possible in AR.
- Magic Leap could be your place if you want to be part of a united team where everyone is empowered and trusted to make an impact.
