Green Card Embedded Jobs
Embedded roles in firmware, RTOS, and hardware-software integration qualify as specialty occupations under EB-2 and EB-3, making PERM labor certification the standard sponsorship path. Most embedded engineers enter through EB-3, but advanced-degree professionals with a master's or higher often qualify for EB-2, skipping the lengthy PERM audit queue.

AI at SharkNinja
At SharkNinja, we're building an AI-native culture. We're not waiting for the future; we're creating it. Our people are expected to experiment boldly, adopt new tools, and continuously raise what's possible to create meaningful impact for our consumers. If you believe the best way to do your job hasn't been invented yet, you'll fit right in.
Senior Embedded Firmware Developer
Needham, MA
The Opportunity
This is the hands-on device firmware role at SharkNinja — you write the code that ships. Two things sit with you: the firmware features SharkNinja deliberately keeps in-house (device control and the differentiated features that make our products distinct), and the platform layer that other programs build on top of (reference implementations, hardware abstraction, and shared device firmware components).
The architecture, interface contracts, HAL boundaries, and platform selection criteria are already defined. Your work is building to those decisions: production feature code end to end, plus the reference implementations and platform components that prove the architecture out for every program and partner that follows.
What You'll Own
Firmware Delivery
- Design, implement, and debug production embedded firmware for consumer and home appliance products.
- Features end to end — requirements clarification, implementation, unit test, integration, and release support.
- Building in the retained areas: device control, OTA, and differentiated product features.
- Development against the architecture, interface, and HAL standards — adopting platform components rather than rebuilding them.
Platform Implementation
- Implement the defined reference architectures and implementations for platform capabilities reused across product categories.
- Build and maintain hardware abstraction (HAL) layers, shared drivers, and core device firmware components: motor control, sensor and actuator integration, and power management.
- Build to the defined interface contracts and platform decisions.
- Prototype technology options to de-risk decisions ahead of program commitment.
Design Review & Partner Governance
- Participate in technical design reviews for internal and partner-developed firmware.
- Review partner-delivered code and integrate it against SharkNinja standards.
- Turn architectural intent into working reference code and shipped features that partners and other programs can build against without interpretation.
- Support partner technical capability assessments with hands-on evaluation of delivered code.
Engineering Standards & Infrastructure
- Write unit tests and maintain code coverage against the standard applied across internal and supplier code; resolve static analysis findings, with no unresolved critical or high-severity issues at release.
- Build and maintain CI pipeline, static analysis configuration, and test-harness infrastructure for owned features and platform components.
- Verify the reproducibility standard in practice — confirm that source, toolchain, and build manifest deliverables actually rebuild the shipping binary.
- Work in feature branches with PR-gated merges, ticket-linked commits, and commit messages sufficient to generate release notes.
Collaboration & Technical Growth
- Work under the technical direction of Principal Engineers on platform capabilities and design review, building toward broader architectural scope over time.
- Bring up firmware on target hardware and debug hardware-software integration issues with Hardware Engineering.
- Partner with Systems Engineering and NPD on device-level requirements and integration.
- Coordinate with firmware engineers in other regions to drive continuous improvement.
What You'll Bring
Experience
- 5+ years of embedded software and firmware development.
- Production firmware you've delivered and shipped in commercial products.
- Building to an architecture defined by others — implementing reference designs, drivers, or platform components from documented interface contracts.
- Consumer electronics, home appliances, robotics, or comparable high-volume products (preferred).
- CI/CD, automated testing, or build infrastructure for embedded systems (strongly preferred).
- Reviewing or integrating code from external development partners (an advantage).
Technical Expertise
- Strong embedded C; C++ on resource-constrained platforms.
- Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS).
- Hardware abstraction layer implementation and platform portability.
- Microcontroller peripherals, drivers, and low-level hardware interfaces.
- Motor control, sensor/actuator integration, and power management.
- Git-based workflows, CI builds (gcc, CMake, headless), unit testing (Ceedling or equivalent), static analysis.
- Debug on target hardware — oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, trace.
- OTA update mechanisms and device security fundamentals.
Education
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline required.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Embedded
Document your hardware-software integration work
Gather project specs, schematics, and performance benchmarks that prove your embedded work required a specialized degree. PERM audits for engineering roles frequently demand evidence that no qualified U.S. worker was displaced, so detailed technical documentation strengthens your employer's case.
Target employers with active PERM filings
Use the OFLC Wage Search to check which companies have filed PERM applications for embedded or firmware engineer roles. Employers already familiar with the PERM process for your job classification move significantly faster than those sponsoring for the first time.
Search green card sponsoring roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters specifically for U.S. employers who have green card sponsorship history for embedded roles, so you're not cold-applying to companies unfamiliar with PERM. Start your search there before approaching employers directly.
Clarify EB-2 versus EB-3 fit before accepting an offer
If your role requires only a bachelor's degree, most employers will file EB-3. Confirm with the hiring team early whether the position description can support an EB-2 filing, since that classification avoids PERM entirely for National Interest Waiver self-petitions in engineering fields.
Verify your employer's prevailing wage tier before filing
DOL assigns embedded engineers to wage levels I through IV based on experience and supervision. If your offer letter salary falls below the prevailing wage for your metropolitan area, USCIS will reject the I-140 petition outright, delaying your entire green card timeline.
Align your priority date with your country's EB-3 backlog
O*NET classifies embedded systems roles under high-demand SOC codes that currently have no EB-3 backlog for most countries. If you're from India or China, your priority date determines your wait, so filing PERM as early as possible in your employment matters significantly.
Green Card Embedded: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an embedded engineer role qualify for green card sponsorship?
Yes. Embedded engineer positions typically qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers requiring at least a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science. Roles demanding a master's or higher, or involving a National Interest Waiver argument, may qualify under EB-2. The PERM labor certification process is the standard employer-sponsored path for both categories.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for embedded roles?
H-1B visa provides temporary work authorization and is subject to an annual lottery cap. Employment-based green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency and has no lottery. EB-3 has no annual per-petition cap, though per-country limits affect applicants from high-demand countries. The overall PERM-to-green-card timeline is longer than H-1B, often two to five years for most nationalities.
What does the PERM process look like for an embedded systems position?
Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with DOL and conducts a supervised recruitment period to confirm no qualified U.S. workers were displaced. For embedded roles, DOL often scrutinizes the specialty occupation definition, so the job description must specifically require a degree in a relevant engineering or computer science field. After certification, the employer files an I-140 petition with USCIS.
Where can I find embedded jobs that offer green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces embedded and firmware engineering roles from employers with documented green card sponsorship history, so you can focus your applications on companies already familiar with PERM. Filtering by sponsorship type saves significant time compared to asking about sponsorship after multiple interview rounds.
Can I switch embedded employers after my I-140 is approved?
Yes, under AC21 portability rules you can change employers after your I-140 has been approved and your adjustment of status application has been pending for 180 days or more, provided the new role is in the same or a similar occupational classification. Embedded engineering roles within the same SOC code family generally satisfy this requirement, but confirm the classification match before accepting a new offer.
