from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Green-card follow-through: 100%
Of 5 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 0 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 492 days.100% 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
3 transfer filings in the last year, covering 3 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 10 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- Stride is an established product, and this role will focus on improving its reliability, strengthening its technical foundation, and adapting the platform for new applications and markets.
- This is a hands-on technical role for someone who enjoys understanding how an entire product works, not just an individual component.
- You will investigate complex product issues, identify opportunities for improvement, and help the team make sound technical decisions that balance reliability, performance, cost, manufacturability, serviceability, and schedule.
Responsibilities
- Develop a strong system-level understanding of the Stride product, including the mechanical system and its interactions with controls, electrical hardware, manufacturing, installation, and service.
- Own complex mechanical projects or major areas of the product from problem definition through design, analysis, prototyping, validation, documentation, release, and production support.
- Lead investigations into reliability and performance issues using structured root-cause analysis, testing, field data, and sound engineering judgment.
- Identify recurring problems and develop robust solutions that address underlying causes rather than individual symptoms.
- Provide technical direction for mechanical projects or subsystem-level work involving other engineers and cross-functional partners.
- Create and maintain high-quality engineering documentation, including requirements, calculations, drawings, bills of material, test plans, test reports, design reviews, and engineering change orders.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- 5+ years of experience
- Demonstrated ability to independently investigate ambiguous technical problems and bring them to a documented, production-ready resolution.
- Ability to understand system-level behavior and recognize how a change in one area may affect the rest of the product.
- Sound engineering judgment and the ability to make practical tradeoffs among technical performance, risk, cost, schedule, and product complexity.
- Willingness to take ownership of both highly technical work and the detailed documentation required to implement it successfully.
Nice to have
- Experience with industrial automation, material-handling equipment, robotics, conveyors, or other complex machinery.
- Experience supporting products deployed in customer or production environments.
- Experience designing for manufacturing, assembly, installation, maintenance, and field service.
- Experience with SolidWorks, PDM or PLM systems, and formal engineering change-control processes.
- Experience mentoring engineers or improving team processes, tools, or technical standards.
- You May Be a Strong Fit If You
- Prefer improving and evolving a real, fielded product over working exclusively on new concepts.
- Enjoy finding patterns across field issues and turning them into durable product improvements.
Company info
- We are looking for someone who considers documentation and change control essential parts of good engineering.
- Support the adaptation of the Stride platform for new customers, applications, environments, and market segments while managing product complexity.
