In the face of rising threats, increasing pressure on affordability, and unprecedented demand for power, Treeswift empowers energy companies to modernize their field work to meet the growth and challenges ahead.
We build physical AI for the field worker: whether on foot or in a vehicle, our technology is an ironman suit for engineers, linemen, and vegetation crews: same worker, same boots on the ground, now operating at 10x productivity. Our platform is powered by cutting edge hardware, sensors (LiDAR, camera, etc…), AI and software designed to revolutionize work in the toughest environments.
Since our first pilot with a utility in June 2024, we've grown fast, now working with three of the five largest utilities in the US. To date, our technology has enabled our customers to reduce wildfire risk, regulatory and outage risk from vegetation, avoid delays and cost overruns in new construction, and accelerate recovery from severe storms.
To tackle this challenge, we are bringing together a team of mission-driven experts with deep industry experience in robotics (Penn, Caltech, CMU) and enterprise software development (Palantir, Stripe, Oracle, MongoDB). We have raised funding from leading investors including Penny Pritzker’s Inspired Capital.
We are headquartered in midtown Manhattan, with additional offices in San Francisco and Philadelphia.
Our growth is only accelerating. We’re looking for deeply curious and highly ambitious people who want to have a real world impact. Come build the future of (field) work with us.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Robotics
Translate your Australian credentials for U.S. employers
A three-year Australian engineering degree satisfies E-3 visa requirements, but U.S. hiring managers may question it. Get a credential evaluation from a DOL-recognized agency before interviews so you can confirm equivalency on the spot.
Target employers with robotics systems integration teams
Manufacturers, logistics companies, and defense contractors running active automation programs are far more likely to sponsor E-3 visas than general engineering consultancies. Filter your search to roles where the job description references ROS, PLC programming, or specific robotic hardware platforms.
Use DOL's LCA disclosure data to verify sponsorship history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure files to confirm a robotics employer has certified LCAs for your target job title. Prior LCA filings in your SOC code signal an established sponsorship process, not a first-time attempt.
Search Migrate Mate for verified E-3 sponsorship roles
Migrate Mate filters robotics and automation jobs by confirmed E-3 sponsorship history, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never filed an LCA. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork once you've secured an offer.
Clarify multi-site work arrangements before the LCA is filed
Robotics roles often involve on-site commissioning at client facilities. The LCA must list the primary worksite, and substantial work at unlisted locations can create compliance issues. Confirm the employment structure with your employer before the DOL filing begins.
Request E-3 over H-1B when both options are raised
If your employer mentions H-1B visa, redirect the conversation to the E-3. There's no lottery, no October 1 start-date constraint, and a consulate appointment in Sydney or Melbourne typically moves faster than USCIS petition processing. Bring this comparison to the HR or legal contact early.
E-3 Visa Robotics: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find robotics jobs in the U.S. that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles with confirmed E-3 sponsorship. Rather than manually filtering general job boards, you can search robotics and automation positions where employers already have LCA filing experience. This cuts out the back-and-forth of asking companies whether they'll sponsor and lets you focus on roles where the process is already understood.
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 a robotics role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, robotics engineer, automation engineer, and related titles consistently qualify as specialty occupations because they require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or robotics. The DOL evaluates the job duties and degree requirement during the LCA review. Generic technician roles without a degree requirement typically don't qualify, so your offer letter should explicitly state the educational requirement.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for robotics professionals?
The E-3 has no lottery and no annual cap, so you're not competing for one of 85,000 H-1B slots each April. You can apply any time of year through an Australian consulate, and initial processing typically takes two to four weeks once the LCA is certified. The H-1B requires a USCIS petition and a minimum October 1 employment start date if selected in the lottery, adding months to the timeline and introducing uncertainty the E-3 eliminates entirely.
Can I change robotics employers while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but the new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp if yours reflects the prior employer's details. You can begin working for the new employer once the LCA is certified and your new visa is issued at a consulate. There's no portability provision like H-1B's AC21, so the process restarts fully with each employer change.
