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 as a Robotics Engineer
Verify your degree field aligns precisely
USCIS requires your bachelor's degree to match the specialty occupation, not just the industry. A degree in mechanical, electrical, or mechatronics engineering supports a Robotics Engineer role clearly. A general business or unrelated STEM degree creates adjudication risk.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data for companies that have filed LCAs for robotics or automation engineering roles. Employers already familiar with the LCA process are less likely to stall your offer over sponsorship unfamiliarity.
Prepare a portfolio showing specialty occupation depth
Consular officers assess whether your role genuinely requires a degree in a specific field. Document projects involving control systems, robot kinematics, or sensor integration to demonstrate the theoretical knowledge base that distinguishes your work from general technician positions.
Raise E-3 early in the offer negotiation
Once an employer expresses interest, clarify the E-3 process before reaching the offer stage. The visa requires employer action on the LCA before you can attend your consulate appointment, so early alignment prevents delays after you've accepted.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for LCA and consulate prep
The LCA must be certified by the DOL before your visa appointment, and the employer's prevailing wage obligations need to be documented correctly. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment, reducing filing errors that stall approvals.
Account for Australian credential equivalency upfront
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted by USCIS as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 purposes, but bring official transcripts and your institution's accreditation documentation to your consulate interview to pre-empt any equivalency questions.
E-3 Visa Robotics Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Robotics Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Robotics Engineer roles at employers open to E-3 sponsorship, filtering out positions where sponsorship isn't available. Because the E-3 requires employer-driven LCA filing, targeting companies already familiar with the process saves significant time. Migrate Mate surfaces those employers directly rather than requiring you to screen listings manually.
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 Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, in practice. USCIS defines a specialty occupation as one that requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field. Robotics engineering roles tied to systems design, programming, or R&D consistently meet this threshold because the work requires theoretical knowledge in mechanical, electrical, or computer engineering that cannot be performed without a degree-level foundation.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Robotics Engineers?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, meaning you can apply at any point in the year once you have a job offer and a certified LCA. The H-1B visa is capped at 85,000 per year with a randomized lottery that many qualified engineers don't survive. For Australian citizens in robotics, the E-3 is a direct path that doesn't depend on chance.
Can I change employers or roles while on an E-3 as a Robotics Engineer?
Yes, but the E-3 is employer-specific. If you change companies or move into a substantially different role, your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp at a consulate before starting. Changing roles within the same employer, such as moving from a junior to senior Robotics Engineer position, may require a new LCA if the job duties or location change materially.
