Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card follow-through: 87%

Of 741 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 96 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 439 days.97% 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

1131 transfer filings in the last year, covering 1131 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.

About the role

3+ years of advanced experience using ANSYS Mechanical and COMSOL Multiphysics for steady-state and transient thermal analysis, nonlinear structural analysis, contact, modal response, vibration, and coupled thermo-mechanical simulation.
Experience correlating simulation predictions with test data using temperature sensors, strain or displacement measurements, vibration data, or other instrumentation; ability to identify discrepancies and improve model fidelity.

Nice to have

These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:
Citizenship & Citizenship Verification:
To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate's citizenship will be verified with a valid passport.
Experience correlating simulation predictions with test data using temperature sensors, strain or displacement measurements, vibration data, or other instrumentation
ability to identify discrepancies and improve model fidelity.
Experience with parametric studies, design optimization, uncertainty quantification, surrogate modeling, or automation using MATLAB, Python, APDL, Java, or comparable scripting and application interfaces.
Deep foundation in finite element analysis and engineering mechanics, including solid mechanics, heat transfer, materials behavior, numerical methods, contact, and coupled thermal-structural response.
Demonstrated model-verification discipline, including mesh-independence studies, sensitivity analysis, analytical checks, appropriate simplification, and transparent documentation of assumptions and limitations.
