Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Software Engineer Jobs at Vicor Jobs
Align your background with embedded or power systems
Vicor's Software Engineer openings frequently require experience in firmware, hardware-software integration, or power conversion control systems. Framing your resume around low-level programming, real-time operating systems, or FPGA tooling will make your application legible to their hiring teams.
Confirm the role qualifies as a specialty occupation
Before accepting an offer, verify the job description explicitly requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering, or a closely related field. USCIS evaluates each H-1B petition on this criterion, and a vague job title can create problems at adjudication.
Target Vicor's openings on Migrate Mate
Vicor posts Software Engineer roles that include sponsorship, but they're not always labeled clearly on general job boards. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Vicor's verified sponsorship-eligible positions so you're only applying where a visa pathway already exists.
Ask about permanent residence sponsorship during offer negotiation
Vicor sponsors both EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card categories. When you receive an offer, ask your recruiter directly which green card track the company typically uses for Software Engineers, since PERM labor certification timelines differ significantly between the two classifications.
Document your specialized technical skills thoroughly
For roles in power electronics software or embedded firmware, gather evidence of your specific domain work: publications, patents, project deliverables, or proprietary toolchain contributions. Strong documentation supports both the H-1B specialty occupation argument and any future EB-2 National Interest Waiver consideration.

Find Software Engineer at Vicor JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Vicor sponsor H-1B visas for Software Engineers?
Yes, Vicor sponsors H-1B visas for Software Engineer roles. The company operates in a technically specialized industry where firmware, embedded systems, and power electronics software require domain expertise, and Vicor has consistently used H-1B sponsorship to fill these positions. Your offer letter and the job description will need to clearly establish the role as a specialty occupation for USCIS.
How do I apply for Software Engineer jobs at Vicor?
Applications go through Vicor's careers portal. To find roles that include visa sponsorship, use Migrate Mate to browse Vicor's verified Software Engineer openings filtered by sponsorship eligibility. Tailor your application to reflect Vicor's focus areas, which include power conversion firmware, embedded software, and enterprise engineering tools supporting hardware development workflows.
Which visa types does Vicor use for Software Engineer sponsorship?
Vicor sponsors Software Engineers on H-1B nonimmigrant visas and supports permanent residence through the EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based Green Card categories. H-1B is the standard starting point for cap-subject candidates. EB-2 and EB-3 require PERM labor certification filed by the employer, and the appropriate category depends on the role's requirements and your qualifications.
What qualifications does Vicor expect for Software Engineer roles?
Most Software Engineer openings at Vicor require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, electrical engineering, or software engineering. Roles tied to Vicor's core products often favor candidates with embedded C or C++ experience, real-time systems knowledge, or familiarity with power electronics. Advanced degrees or relevant domain experience in hardware-adjacent software can strengthen both your application and the H-1B specialty occupation case.
How do I time my job search at Vicor around the H-1B process?
If you need H-1B sponsorship, aim to have an offer in hand before early March so your employer can register you in the annual H-1B lottery. The registration window typically runs through late March, and employment can begin October 1 if selected. If you're currently on OPT, confirm your program end date and any cap-gap coverage period before accepting an offer with an October start.
