Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 6 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card intent detected

Applied Intuition, Inc. obtained a prevailing wage determination for Industrial Engineers in Sunnyvale, CALIFORNIA on 2026-06-24. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 16 days (2026-09-21), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.

Files H-1B transfers

49 transfer filings in the last year, covering 49 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

  • Our technology - from the Acuity ISR+Strike autonomy stack to the Axle edge compute hardware - is deployed on real platforms with real operators, across multiple airframe vendors and mission sets.
  • The team has proven the technology through successful field demonstrations and live deployments.
  • You'll conduct primary research with military operators in the US and abroad, translate what you learn into product strategy, and work with a strong engineering team to ship products that give warfighters a decisive edge.

Responsibilities

  • We're hiring a Product Manager to own strategy, research, and execution for DroneStack.
  • You won't need to arrive as a drone or defense expert - what matters is that you're a fast, rigorous learner who can immerse yourself in a complex technical domain and emerge with clarity about what to build and why.
  • Own product strategy for DroneStack. Define the roadmap that transitions the team from program-driven deliveries to a scalable, multi-customer product line. Make hard prioritization calls across ISR, strike, hardware, and tooling.
  • Drive the programs-to-products transition. Identify the patterns across current customer engagements and define the abstractions, configurations, and interfaces that turn one-off solutions into repeatable products.
  • Partner with the engineering manager and technical leads to balance near-term delivery commitments with long-term product architecture.
  • Build and communicate a market thesis. Develop a point of view on where the autonomous drone market is heading - across DoD service branches, allied nations, and commercial applications - and position Applied Intuition to capture it.
  • A track record of shipping products, not just features. You've owned a product end-to-end - from research and strategy through design, build, launch, and iteration. You've made the hard calls about what not to build.

Nice to have

  • Experience working on products that span hardware and software
  • Prior work at an early-stage or high-growth company where you wore multiple hats
  • Experience founding a company or leading a 0-to-1 product initiative
