Description and Requirements
Key Responsibilities:
- Input Models: Pioneer the interaction models for how humans converse, gesture, gaze, touch, and command our ambient AI ecosystem.
- Modality Transitions: Design natural handoffs between inputs—such as transitioning effortlessly from a voice command to spatial touch or subtle gaze selection.
- Intent & Disambiguation: Architect system behaviors for handling ambiguous AI inputs, fuzzy voice commands, and multi-threaded user intent.
- Interaction Prototyping: Build dynamic interaction simulations that test the responsiveness, latency tolerances, and feedback loops of non-traditional inputs.
- Sensor-Driven UX Architecture: Translate hardware sensor capabilities (cameras, microphones, spatial arrays) into intuitive, human-centered interaction guidelines.
Basic Qualifications:
- 8+ years in UX design, interaction design, or HCI research with a heavy focus on input mechanics.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in HCI, Cognitive Science, Interaction Design, Computer Science, or equivalent.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Behavioral Background: You deeply understand human ergonomics, cognitive load, and natural communication habits, applying them to human-machine interaction.
- Empathetic Prototyper: You excel at mocking up invisible interactions, making abstract triggers concrete for user testing and stakeholder review.
- Technical Bridge: You are equally comfortable discussing hardware sensor constraints with engineers and human-centered workflows with designers.
- Systems Thinker: You are comfortable mapping complex decision trees, fallback states, and conversation design logic for nonlinear user journeys.
- Multimodal Fluency: You have hands-on experience designing across voice, spatial/gesture, gaze, and tactile input modalities, knowing the strengths and failure modes of each.
- Robust portfolio demonstrating end-to-end design of non-traditional input systems (voice, spatial, gesture, or multi-modal).
- Proven record of user testing and validating complex input behavioral models.
- Deep familiarity with hardware sensor ecosystems and software interaction loops.
- Background in Conversational Design (VUI), linguistics, or cognitive science.
- Deep understanding of human-computer interaction (HCI) methodologies.
- Prototyping experience using Unity, Unreal, or specialized physical computing environments.
- Experience with spatial computing platforms (VisionOS, Meta Quest, HoloLens).
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer and do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, status as a veteran, and basis of disability or any federal, state, or local protected class.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior UX Engineer
Verify your degree maps to UX
USCIS scrutinizes specialty occupation eligibility for UX roles. A degree in HCI, cognitive science, or computer science supports your petition more cleanly than a general business degree, even with years of UX experience.
Use O*NET to anchor your job duties
Pull the O*NET occupation profile for UX Engineers before your employer drafts your job description. Aligning your listed duties with the O*NET standard strengthens the specialty occupation argument in your I-129 petition.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to filter Senior UX Engineer roles by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for this occupation. Past LCA activity signals an employer already understands the H-1B process and prevailing wage obligations.
Confirm your wage tier before accepting an offer
Run your job title and location through the OFLC Wage Search to check which prevailing wage level applies. Senior UX Engineer roles often land at Level III or IV, and your offered salary must meet or exceed the certified LCA wage.
Ask your employer about premium processing upfront
Standard H-1B adjudication can run several months. Clarifying whether your employer will elect premium processing with USCIS protects your start date and avoids gaps if your current status has a firm expiration window.
Document your portfolio as petition evidence
Gather project briefs, research deliverables, and any publications or conference presentations before your employer files. UX petitions sometimes draw Requests for Evidence; a well-documented portfolio showing specialized methodology reinforces the specialty occupation claim.
H-1B Visa Senior UX Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior UX Engineer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, Senior UX Engineer roles generally qualify as specialty occupations because they require at minimum a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as human-computer interaction, cognitive science, or computer science. USCIS evaluates the specific duties in your job description, not just the title, so your employer's I-129 petition must clearly tie your day-to-day work to a theoretical and practical body of highly specialized knowledge.
How do I find employers actively sponsoring H-1B visas for UX Engineer roles?
Migrate Mate surfaces Senior UX Engineer positions filtered by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for this occupation, so you can focus on companies with a documented H-1B track record rather than guessing from job postings. Past LCA filings are public DOL records and indicate an employer is already familiar with the prevailing wage and filing requirements for your role.
What level of prevailing wage applies to a Senior UX Engineer on an H-1B?
Most Senior UX Engineer positions are classified at DOL wage Level III or Level IV, reflecting fully competent or expert-level work with supervisory or leadership components. Your employer certifies the applicable level on the LCA before filing the H-1B petition, and your offered compensation must meet or exceed that certified wage for the specific metropolitan area where you'll be working.
Can I switch H-1B employers if I'm already working as a UX Engineer?
Yes, H-1B portability under AC21 lets you start working for a new employer as soon as they file a non-frivolous H-1B transfer petition, without waiting for approval, provided your current H-1B has been approved for at least 180 days. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA for the UX Engineer position and certify the prevailing wage for your new work location before submitting the I-129.
What happens if USCIS issues a Request for Evidence on my Senior UX Engineer petition?
RFEs on UX Engineer petitions typically challenge whether the role requires a degree in a specific specialty rather than a general field. A strong response includes a detailed duty-by-duty analysis, the O*NET occupational profile showing the degree requirements standard for the occupation, and supporting evidence such as your portfolio, project documentation, and any publications or presentations demonstrating specialized expertise.
