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
- If that's you, join us - the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.
Responsibilities
- You will be responsible for verifying complex digital designs, including Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) with multiple CPUs, digital signal processors, security hardware, interconnects, and peripheral logic supporting IoT and edge-compute applications.
- Own and execute end-to-end digital verification at block, sub-system, and full-chip (SoC) levels
- Develop detailed verification plans aligned with architecture and design specifications
- Perform SoC-level verification using full-chip simulation and regression environments
- Architect and implement scalable, reusable UVM-based testbenches using SystemVerilog
- Drive constrained-random and directed testing, including scoreboarding and self-checking mechanisms
- Develop and maintain C/C++ based verification libraries and tests for SoC-level validation
- Utilize advanced debugging methodologies to isolate and resolve complex design and verification issues
- Perform root-cause analysis and collaborate closely with design teams to drive fixes
- Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling.
Requirements
- Proven track record of multiple tape-outs with silicon functioning to specification
- Strong experience in block-level, sub-system, and full-chip SoC verification
- Experience working with complex SoCs integrating multiple 3rd-party IPs and VIPs
Nice to have
- Experience with edge-based AI inference workloads is a plus.
Skills
- SystemVerilog, UVM, Verilog
- Functional and code coverage methodologies
- Constrained-random verification and scoreboarding
- C/C++ based verification in SoC environments (required)
- Experience with processor-based systems (ARM and/or RISC‑V preferred)
- ARM or RISC‑V processor-based SoCs
- AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)
- DMA, flow control, and standard serial interfaces
- Python, Perl, Makefile
- Experience verifying low-power digital architectures and features is highly desirable
- Security IPs (Crypto, OTP)
- DSP and compute-heavy digital subsystems
Benefits
- Develop comprehensive test scenarios, stimulus, monitors, and checkers to achieve robust functional coverage
- Automate verification flows for regressions, coverage collection, and results reporting
- Define, track, and close functional and code coverage goals
- Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.
