Files H-1B transfers
9 transfer filings in the last year, covering 9 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 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
- We're training robot AGI to power a proprietary generalist supply chain superhumanoid, the first robot in the world capable of performing thousands of tasks across the supply chain.
- Link: Nimble Closes $106 Million Series C Funding Round, Scales Fully Autonomous Fulfillment with FedEx Link: FedEx Announces Expansion of FedEx Fulfillment With Nimble Alliance Why Join Nimble?
- Nimble's Core Values: Be relentlessly resourceful - Challenge conventions and overcome obstacles.
Responsibilities
- Own the mechanical design and architecture of robotic subsystems - structures, mechanisms, frames, housings, and precision assemblies - from concept through production deployment.
- This engineer will own the frame design, new warehouse layout design, and automation equipment integration
- Produce production-grade engineering drawings with GD&T (ASME Y14.5): sound datum schemes, functional tolerancing, and tolerance stack-up analysis that suppliers can build from without guessing
- Develop detailed 3D CAD models and assemblies, and drive system-level mechanical design decisions
- Perform engineering calculations, hand calcs, structural/stress analysis, and FEA to ensure performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Design for manufacturability (DFM), assembly (DFA), reliability, serviceability, and cost
- Select and integrate mechanical and electromechanical components - bearings, gears, transmissions, and fasteners, along with the motors, gearboxes, and sensors your designs interface with
- Partner with controls, software, electrical, embedded, perception, and manufacturing teams to deliver integrated robotic systems
- Lead prototype builds, debugging, root-cause investigations, and field performance improvements
- Support the supply chain across the product lifecycle - support sourcing and supplier selection, drive supplier development and second-sourcing, and resolve component and manufacturability issues fast to keep builds on schedule
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
- Strong, demonstrable GD&T fluency (ASME Y14.5) - you can define a datum scheme, defend a tolerance stack, and produce release-ready drawings
