A Senior Power Electronics Engineer at QuEra Computing designs, develops, and tests advanced power delivery and control systems that support neutral-atom quantum computing platforms. This includes low-noise power conversion, precision voltage/current regulation, and scalable power architectures for sensitive experimental and production quantum systems.
This role spans the full engineering lifecycle—from concept and system architecture through prototyping, validation, and deployment—ensuring robust, stable, and low-noise power for cutting-edge quantum hardware.
This position is based onsite in Boston, MA.
Duties/Responsibilities
Job Description:
- Design, develop, and implement power system architectures for quantum computing platforms, including low-noise AC/DC and DC/DC power distribution, point-of-load regulation, and custom power conversion solutions.
- Develop and test power electronics hardware such as DC/DC converters, linear regulators, power filtering systems, and precision current/voltage sources for sensitive instrumentation.
- Optimize power systems for low noise, high stability, thermal performance, and scalability in lab and production environments.
- Define and document technical specifications for power subsystems and support transition from prototype to production.
- Analyze system-level power integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC performance; ensure compliance with system requirements.
- Troubleshoot and debug complex power electronics issues in integrated hardware systems.
- Collaborate closely with physicists, RF/optics engineers, and system engineers to ensure power systems meet stringent experimental requirements.
- Drive solutions to complex and evolving technical challenges; define requirements in ambiguous or research-driven contexts.
- Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) in power electronics and power integrity for precision hardware systems.
- Identify technical risks related to power delivery and develop mitigation strategies.
- Support system bring-up, integration, and validation in laboratory and production settings.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Electronics Engineer
Align your credentials to specialty occupation
USCIS requires that your degree directly relates to the position. A bachelor's in electrical engineering or electronics engineering maps cleanly, but adjacent degrees in physics or computer engineering may need a credential evaluation to establish equivalency before your employer files.
Target employers with active LCA filings
Use Migrate Mate to filter Senior Electronics Engineer roles by employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history. This removes the guesswork of asking recruiters about sponsorship willingness before you've even applied.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location. Run the OFLC Wage Search for SOC code 17-2072 before your offer negotiation so you know the floor and can spot underpay that would trigger DOL scrutiny.
Distinguish defense employers early in the process
Many senior electronics roles at defense contractors require a U.S. security clearance, which H-1B holders are generally ineligible to obtain. Identify whether a role has a clearance requirement before investing time in the application process.
Confirm cap-exempt status for university lab roles
Electronics engineer positions at universities, nonprofit research institutions, or government research labs are cap-exempt, meaning your employer can file Form I-129 outside the annual H-1B lottery window. This path is available year-round and avoids the registration lottery entirely.
Request premium processing for offer-deadline conflicts
Standard H-1B adjudication runs several months. If your employer's offer has a start-date constraint, ask them to file with premium processing through USCIS, which commits to a 15-business-day decision and reduces the risk of losing the role to a competing candidate.

Find Senior Electronics Engineer JobsSenior Electronics Engineer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Electronics Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. USCIS looks for roles that normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Electronics engineering roles involving circuit design, embedded systems, signal processing, or hardware development consistently meet this standard. The O*NET profile for this occupation confirms that a bachelor's degree is the standard entry requirement, which supports the specialty occupation argument.
How do I find employers who actually sponsor H-1B visas for this role?
The most reliable method is filtering by verified LCA filing history. Migrate Mate surfaces Senior Electronics Engineer roles specifically from employers with documented H-1B filings, so you're not relying on recruiter claims. DOL LCA disclosure data is publicly available, but Migrate Mate organizes it by occupation and employer so you don't need to parse raw files.
Can I work on defense or government electronics projects on an H-1B visa?
You can work on many defense-adjacent projects, but roles requiring a U.S. security clearance present a hard barrier. Most clearances require U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, and H-1B holders are generally not eligible. Some unclassified defense contractor work or export-controlled projects may also impose restrictions. Clarify clearance and export control requirements before accepting any offer in this sector.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer is acquired or changes its name?
If the acquiring company is a successor-in-interest and your job duties, location, and salary remain materially the same, your H-1B status can continue without a new petition under USCIS successor-in-interest rules. Your employer should file an amended I-129 if there are material changes to your role. During the 60-day grace period following any involuntary termination, you can also begin a transfer to a new sponsoring employer.
Does my H-1B petition need to be refiled if I move to a new work location?
It depends on the distance. Moving to a new Metropolitan Statistical Area typically requires your employer to file a new LCA with DOL and possibly an amended I-129 with USCIS before you begin working at the new site. Short-distance moves within the same area may not require an amendment, but your employer should confirm whether the new location falls within the original LCA's coverage area before you relocate.
