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.

Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Files H-1B transfers

1 transfer filing in the last year, covering 1 worker. 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.

About the role

  • Our robots work alongside warehouse teams to unload trucks and containers - one of the toughest, most understaffed jobs in logistics - making the work safer, faster, and more efficient for the people doing it.
  • Loading trucks comes next, followed by the Dill Autonomy Engine: generalized autonomy that will eventually orchestrate robots across entire logistics processes.
  • Your code will directly affect how many boxes come off a truck per hour and how often a robot needs a human's help, and you'll see those results on the warehouse floor.

Responsibilities

  • Strong fundamentals in software design, data structures, algorithms, and performance optimization
  • Experience owning components end-to-end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing support
  • You'll design and build fast, reliable, well-tested planning systems that run on real robots every day.

Requirements

  • 2-4 years of experience writing and shipping production software, primarily in modern C++ (C++17 or later), with working proficiency in Python

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with motion planning or manipulation (e.g., sampling-based or optimization-based planners, trajectory generation, grasp planning)
  • Experience with CUDA or GPU performance optimization
  • Familiarity with robotics libraries and frameworks such as OMPL, Drake, FCL, or Pinocchio
  • Background in 3D geometry, kinematics, or linear algebra (Eigen or similar)
  • Experience with simulation environments and large-scale regression testing for robotics or other safety-critical systems
  • Experience deploying software on physical robots in production environments
  • paid federal and state holidays
  • company-covered travel expenses

Skills

  • design, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing support
  • Solid understanding of concurrency, memory management, and profiling tools
  • A real interest in motion planning, manipulation, and grasping, and eagerness to go deep on the algorithms alongside domain experts
  • Comfort working close to hardware and debugging problems that span software and the physical world

Compensation

  • The salary range listed here is provided in accordance with Massachusetts law and reflects what we reasonably and in good faith expect to offer for this role.
