We are seeking an experienced Senior Principal Software Engineer (Lead Architect level) to join a global automotive organization in Raymond, OH. The ideal candidate will serve as a technical architect responsible for defining system structure, guiding module design, and ensuring seamless integration across software components. This role supports prototype and proof-of-concept development efforts, primarily within in-vehicle and SOC-based systems environments.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Define and own overall software architecture, system structure, and module boundaries.
- Design how software components and modules interact, communicate, and integrate within larger systems.
- Lead module decomposition, interface definition, and system-level architecture planning.
- Ensure independently developed modules integrate into cohesive and functional software systems.
- Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve complex integration and interface issues across software components.
- Support system-level debugging, testing, and validation efforts across integrated environments.
- Identify and resolve failures that occur during module integration and system assembly.
- Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and architectural guidance to engineering teams.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align system design with technical and program objectives.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 10+ years of professional software engineering experience.
- Hands-on experience with system-level testing and validation.
- Strong proficiency in Python, C++, and/or Java (architecture-level familiarity preferred).
- Proven experience in software architecture and system design.
- Strong background designing modular, scalable software systems.
- Extensive experience in system integration and cross-module communication.
- Strong troubleshooting and debugging experience at the system and interface level.
- Experience integrating multiple software components into cohesive systems.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with full-stack or multi-layer system design is a plus.
- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS preferred) is beneficial but not required.
- Familiarity with Agile development methodologies preferred.
- Experience in automotive, mobility, or embedded-adjacent systems is a plus but not required.
- Strong understanding of complex system integration challenges.
- Ability to identify and resolve module communication or interface failures.
- Experience working in research, prototype, or proof-of-concept environments.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Python Engineer
Document your Python specialization precisely
Your PERM job description must match your actual duties. List specific frameworks, cloud platforms, and system types you work with. Vague titles like 'software engineer' can create mismatches that delay or derail labor certification.
Check your EB category before applying
EB-2 requires a master's degree or a bachelor's plus five years of progressive experience in a related specialty. EB-3 covers roles requiring a four-year degree. Knowing which category fits your credentials helps you target employers filing the right petition type.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Not every company that hires Python engineers will sponsor green cards. Search OFLC disclosure data for employers who have certified PERM applications for software roles. This filters out companies that handle sponsorship on a case-by-case basis only.
Use Migrate Mate to find sponsoring Python roles
Searching general job boards won't tell you which postings come with green card sponsorship. Migrate Mate filters Python Engineer jobs by employers with verified EB-2 and EB-3 filing history, so you apply where sponsorship is already part of the process.
Negotiate PERM timing into your offer discussion
Ask directly whether the company files PERM at hire or after a probationary period. Some employers wait 12 to 18 months. Starting that conversation before you accept protects your priority date and avoids delays caused by internal policy you didn't know existed.
Understand how EB-3 backlogs affect your country
EB-3 has no annual visa cap per se, but per-country limits create backlogs for nationals of India and China. Check the USCIS Visa Bulletin before you file to understand your priority date wait. Nationals from most other countries face far shorter queues.
Green Card Python Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Python Engineer roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Python Engineer positions typically qualify under both categories depending on the role's requirements. EB-2 applies when the employer requires a master's degree or equivalent, which USCIS defines as a bachelor's plus five years of progressive specialized experience. EB-3 covers roles requiring a four-year bachelor's degree. Most mid-level and senior Python engineering positions meet EB-2 criteria, while entry-level roles often fall under EB-3.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for Python engineers?
H-1B visa sponsorship is temporary, lasts three years at a time, and requires surviving the annual lottery for most employers. Green card sponsorship through PERM and I-140 has no lottery and leads to permanent residency. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone takes six months to over a year, and EB-3 backlogs affect some nationalities. For Python engineers from most countries outside India and China, the EB-3 path is often faster than waiting for H-1B selection.
What does the PERM process look like for a Python Engineer position?
Your employer files a labor certification application with DOL under PERM, demonstrating that no qualified U.S. worker is available for the role. The job requirements must reflect what the position genuinely needs, including the specific technical skills your Python role demands. After DOL certifies the application, the employer files an I-140 immigrant visa petition with USCIS. You can then file for adjustment of status or consular processing once a visa number is available.
How do I find Python Engineer jobs where the employer will actually sponsor a green card?
Most job postings don't specify PERM sponsorship, so searching by job title alone leaves you guessing. Migrate Mate surfaces Python Engineer roles from employers with verified EB-2 and EB-3 filing history, letting you focus your applications on companies that have already committed to sponsoring permanent residency rather than relying on what the posting says.
Can an employer sponsor my green card if my Python skills are self-taught rather than degree-based?
Yes, but the path depends on how DOL and USCIS evaluate your credentials. Under EB-2, USCIS accepts three years of qualifying work experience in lieu of one year of university education, so a candidate with no degree could qualify with 12 years of documented progressive experience. O*NET classifies software developer roles in Job Zone 4, which typically requires a four-year degree. Employers can also define alternative qualifying combinations in the PERM job description, which an immigration attorney should structure carefully.
