About The Role
As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) for the Camera Software team, you will take point on developing & coordinating strategic cross-team initiatives, develop the software side of new hardware programs, and own the delivery of high-performance firmware that powers our next-generation imaging systems. This is not a project manager role that is tracking down commitments and monitoring tickets. This person will develop critical processes, drive the definition of complex projects, and help coordinate multiple teams to deliver on critical programs. You will sit at the intersection of Hardware, Firmware, Streaming, and Computer Vision, ensuring that as we evolve the products that we do so in a coordinated manner. Ensuring alignment between the different engineering disciplines is key. Key examples of focus include the firmware delivery process, firmware planning for new hardware (NPI).
- Critical Program Definition and Execution: The cameras team is 70+ engineers (and growing) that’s focused on core embedded camera, computer vision / ML, streaming, alerts & workflows, and more. There are regularly critical programs that require contribution across internal and external teams - this person will help take on the hardest - driving a clear program plan and helping coordinate execution.
- Firmware Delivery: Define and manage the end-to-end firmware release process. You will lead the team through the firmware qual and release process, ensuring all exit criteria are met for stability, performance, and image quality. This is fundamental to ensuring we release firmware to our customers in a reliable manner with rigor and attention to quality.
- Process Engineering: Establish and refine the "rules of the road" for the firmware team and cameras team more broadly. This includes defining bug-triage workflows, release branch strategies, and automated testing requirements for specific hardware targets.
- Hardware-Software Synchronization: You will align hardware milestones (EVT, DVT, PVT) with firmware releases to ensure silicon bring-up and module integration are seamless. You will identify critical path dependencies—such as ISP tuning, driver development, and sensor calibration—and proactively mitigate risks before they impact the build schedule.
- Stakeholder Communication: Provide clear, data-driven visibility into program health. You’ll translate technical firmware blockers into actionable business risks for executive leadership.
What You Bring
- Experience: 5+ years of experience as a TPM, Engineering Manager, or Program Manager in a technical environment.
- Domain Knowledge: Proven track record of delivering embedded systems or firmware, ideally within the imaging, robotics, or consumer electronics space.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Technician Jobs at Verkada Jobs
Document field certifications before applying
Verkada's Technician roles emphasize installation, troubleshooting, and commissioning of physical security systems. Certifications in low-voltage wiring, IP networking, or access control platforms strengthen your specialty occupation case and give immigration counsel clearer grounds to build your petition.
Target Verkada's regional deployment hubs
Verkada staffs Technicians based on customer density, so roles cluster around metros with large enterprise clients. Searching by region rather than headquarters location turns up active openings that smaller candidate pools are competing for, improving your interview odds significantly.
Clarify OPT start dates with your recruiter early
F-1 OPT authorization takes up to 90 days to process through USCIS, and Verkada's Technician onboarding timelines vary by project backlog. Confirming your available start date before the offer stage prevents last-minute scheduling conflicts that can cost you the role.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Verkada Technician openings
Sponsorship-confirmed Technician listings at Verkada aren't always labeled clearly on general job boards. Migrate Mate filters specifically for visa-sponsoring employers in this function, so you can target verified openings without wading through roles that won't support your status.
Understand how TN classification applies to your background
Canadian and Mexican nationals with engineering technology or computer science credentials may qualify for TN status for certain Technician roles at Verkada. The DOL's TN occupation list determines eligibility, and your degree field needs to align precisely with the offered job duties.
Ask HR about the LCA filing timeline before accepting
The Labor Condition Application must be certified by the DOL before Verkada can file an H-1B petition on your behalf. Confirming this internal timeline at the offer stage tells you whether your start date is realistic given your current visa status and any remaining grace period.

Find Technician at Verkada JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Verkada sponsor H-1B visas for Technicians?
Yes, Verkada sponsors H-1B visas for Technician roles. The role needs to qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, which means demonstrating that the position typically requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field. Technician positions at Verkada that involve network configuration, system integration, or cloud platform management have supported this classification.
How do I apply for Technician jobs at Verkada?
You can search Verkada's careers page directly and filter by role type, or use Migrate Mate to find Technician openings at Verkada that are confirmed to support visa sponsorship. Tailoring your application to highlight hands-on experience with IP-based security systems, access control, or structured cabling increases your relevance to the hiring team significantly.
Which visa types does Verkada commonly use for Technician hires?
Verkada sponsors Technician roles across several categories, including H-1B for degree-holding applicants, F-1 OPT and CPT for students and recent graduates, and TN for eligible Canadian and Mexican nationals. For candidates on a longer-term path, Verkada also supports employment-based Green Card sponsorship through EB-2 and EB-3 classifications, which involve a PERM labor certification filed with the DOL.
What qualifications does Verkada expect for Technician roles?
Most Technician roles at Verkada require demonstrated experience with physical security systems, including cameras, access control hardware, and network infrastructure. Familiarity with cloud-based management platforms is increasingly relevant given Verkada's product architecture. A degree in electronics, network engineering, or a related technical field supports both the hiring case and visa eligibility under specialty occupation criteria.
How do I plan my timeline when switching to H-1B status for a Verkada Technician role?
If you're moving from F-1 OPT to H-1B, Verkada needs to file your petition before your OPT expires. The general H-1B cap lottery opens in March for an October 1 start date, so your offer timing needs to align with that annual window. Cap-exempt pathways don't apply to most Technician roles, so early coordination with Verkada's HR team on filing deadlines is essential.
