- Prior experience working with autonomous vehicles or robotics, diffusion models, large scale training.
COMPENSATION
- Base Salary Range: There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. The listed range applies only to the base salary. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling, as well as positioning within a level, is determined by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, a candidate's relevant years of experience, domain knowledge, and interview performance. The salary range listed in this posting is representative of the range of levels Zoox is considering for this position.
Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits, including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Registered Behavior Technician
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
Your Australian bachelor's degree must align directly with the RBT role, typically psychology, applied behavior analysis, or special education. A three-year Australian degree is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree, but have your transcripts ready to demonstrate that equivalency.
Target ABA clinics with prior sponsorship history
Autism therapy networks, school districts, and behavioral health clinics are the employers most likely to file E-3 visa sponsorships for RBTs. Focus outreach on multi-site ABA providers, which have HR infrastructure to handle DOL Labor Condition Applications rather than starting from scratch.
Frame your NDIS experience for U.S. interviewers
Australian RBTs coming from NDIS-funded roles often have direct ABA implementation experience that U.S. employers value. Translate your supervision hours, data collection methods, and behavior intervention plan work into terminology familiar to BACB-credentialed supervisors reviewing your application.
Confirm the employer will file an LCA before accepting
The E-3 requires your employer to file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL certifying your offered wage meets prevailing wage levels for RBTs in that geographic area. Get written confirmation they'll complete this step before you resign from any current position or book flights.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your paperwork
Once you have a signed offer letter, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. This removes the risk of employer-side filing errors that delay or invalidate your consulate appointment, which is especially common with first-time sponsoring RBT employers.
Check your BCBA supervisor's E-3 eligibility separately
If your role requires on-site BCBA supervision, confirm that supervisor is present or that the employer has a plan to provide one. USCIS scrutinizes RBT petitions where the required level of supervision isn't documented in the job description, so your offer letter should specify the supervisory structure.
E-3 Visa Registered Behavior Technician: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Registered Behavior Technician jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the recommended way to search for RBT roles where U.S. employers are open to E-3 sponsorship. Most general job boards don't filter by visa type, which means hours of manual screening. Migrate Mate surfaces roles matched to E-3 eligibility so you're contacting employers already familiar with Australian visa requirements rather than educating every recruiter from scratch.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an RBT role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3 visa?
It depends on how the employer defines the position. An RBT role qualifies as a specialty occupation when the employer requires a bachelor's degree in psychology, applied behavior analysis, education, or a closely related field. Roles where any bachelor's degree is accepted regardless of field are harder to defend. Ask employers how they've written the job description before applying.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Australian RBTs?
The E-3 is significantly more practical for Australian RBTs. There's no annual lottery, no cap that fills up, and no April registration window to miss. You can apply at any point in the year once you have an offer and a certified LCA. The H-1B lottery gives all applicants roughly a one-in-four chance of selection regardless of qualifications, which makes multi-year planning very difficult for RBTs on H-1B visa pathways.
Can I switch RBT employers on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but you'll need to restart the E-3 process with the new employer. The E-3 is employer-specific, so your new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need a new visa stamp if you travel internationally before starting. If you stay inside the U.S., you can begin working for the new employer once the new LCA is certified and your documents are in order, without waiting for a new visa stamp.
