Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

10 transfer filings in the last year, covering 10 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 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.

Responsibilities

  • Support Mission-Critical Use Cases: Create custom solutions for tactical, covert, and low-probability-of-intercept/detection (LPI/LPD) communications tailored for Special Operations, IC collectors, and warfighters operating in denied environments.
  • Apply Advanced Security Architecture: Implement modern encryption techniques (Suite B, CSfC, Zero Trust, quantum-resistant overlay algorithms) to secure payload data across untrusted satellite links and commercial roaming interfaces.
  • Lead Technical Capture & Customer Engagements: Own the technical narrative for high-value government proposals, RFI/RFP responses, prototype demonstrations, and field trials across the DoD, IC, Interagency, and international partners.
  • Design end-to-end architectures integrating 3GPP NTN standards (NB-IoT/5G NR) with legacy defense networks, satellite constellations (GEO/MEO/LEO), and tactical cellular edge nodes.
  • Support Mission-Critical Use Cases:
  • Create custom solutions for tactical, covert, and low-probability-of-intercept/detection (LPI/LPD) communications tailored for Special Operations, IC collectors, and warfighters operating in denied environments.
