Align your background with AV system domains
Torc Robotics hires engineers who work on perception, planning, controls, and safety-critical software for autonomous trucks. Framing your resume around embedded systems, robotics middleware like ROS, or real-time software makes your profile directly relevant to their open roles.
Confirm your degree field supports H-1B specialty occupation
USCIS requires that your degree field directly relate to the offered role. For software engineering at a robotics company, a degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field strengthens your petition and reduces the risk of a Request for Evidence.
Target roles before H-1B cap registration opens
H-1B cap registration runs in March each year for an October 1 start date. Securing an offer before February gives your employer enough lead time to register you and prepare the full petition if selected.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open Software Engineer roles
Torc Robotics posts across multiple channels, and not every listing signals sponsorship availability. Use Migrate Mate to surface the Software Engineer roles at Torc Robotics that are open to visa sponsorship, so you're not wasting applications on positions that won't support your situation.
Clarify OPT or CPT timelines early in interviews
If you're on F-1 OPT, your authorization window is fixed. Raise your status and end date with the recruiter during the first conversation so the hiring team can sequence the offer letter, I-983 if on STEM OPT, and any H-1B transition without gaps in your work authorization.
Request the LCA job title matches your actual responsibilities
The Department of Labor Labor Condition Application locks in your job title and prevailing wage level. If the LCA title is too broad or mismatched to your actual role, it can complicate future Green Card PERM filings. Review the draft LCA before your employer submits it.
