H-1B1 Chile Visa Embedded Jobs
Embedded engineers pursuing U.S. roles can apply for H-1B1 Chile visa sponsorship without entering a lottery. The 1,400-visa annual cap rarely fills, and your interview happens at the U.S. consulate in Chile rather than waiting on USCIS petition approval, so timelines move faster than H-1B visa.

Are you an embedded software engineer who wants to own the code that keeps robots safe and can prove it to the world? At Amazon Robotics, we're seeking an Embedded SDE to own our library of safety-critical software modules and drive them through formal certification.
The Compass team is building a library of safety-critical software modules that will serve as the certified safety foundation for Amazon's entire robotics fleet. In this role, you'll own that software. Our core development team conducts R&D on novel algorithms; your job is to take that R&D and translate it into production-grade, certifiable embedded software that meets the highest safety standards. You'll also work upstream, expressing requirements and constraints that the core R&D team needs to be aware of so their work can ultimately be certified.
If you want to own the software that stands between robots and the people around them and take it all the way from research prototype to certified product, then this role is for you.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the library of safety-critical embedded software modules, taking full responsibility for their quality, maintainability, and certification readiness
- Translate R&D algorithm code from the core development team into production-grade, certifiable embedded software that meets functional safety standards
- Define and communicate software requirements and constraints upstream to the core R&D team, ensuring their algorithm development is compatible with certification objectives
- Drive the software through the full safety certification lifecycle, producing the code, documentation, and evidence required for formal certification
- Develop and maintain embedded software following safety-critical coding standards (e.g., MISRA C++, AUTOSAR) and best practices for deterministic, real-time execution
- Collaborate with safety engineers, lab engineers, and the testing/quality SDE to ensure end-to-end traceability from safety requirements through implementation to certification evidence
A day in the life
Amazon offers a full range of benefits that support you and eligible family members, including domestic partners and their children. Benefits can vary by location, the number of regularly scheduled hours you work, length of employment, and job status such as seasonal or temporary employment. The benefits that generally apply to regular, full-time employees include:
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
- Maternity and Parental Leave Options
- Paid Time Off (PTO)
- 401(k) Plan
If you are not sure that every qualification on the list above describes you exactly, we'd still love to hear from you! At Amazon, we value people with unique backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. If you’re passionate about this role and want to make an impact on a global scale, please apply!
About the team
Work with the inventors of control barrier functions on a novel, universal approach to safe autonomy: one that scales across mobile robots, manipulators, mobile manipulators, and future robot platforms with dynamic stability. You'll push the boundary of safe performance by integrating safety with motion planning, RL, and foundation models, ensuring that safety is never a blocker to robot performance. Your work will underpin robots operating alongside people at Amazon's unprecedented scale.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- 3+ years of experience developing software in C++ for embedded or real-time systems
- Experience with safety-critical or high-reliability software development processes
- Experience translating research or prototype code into production-quality software
- Experience in object-oriented programming
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Embedded Jobs
Verify your degree field matches the role
H-1B1 Chile requires specialty occupation status, meaning your degree must directly correspond to embedded systems work. A general engineering degree supports most embedded roles, but a business or unrelated technical degree triggers closer consular scrutiny during your interview.
Search verified H-1B1 filers on Migrate Mate
Filter your job search by employers who have filed H-1B1 Chile Labor Condition Applications using Migrate Mate. That filing history confirms the employer already understands the LCA process and won't treat your visa as a novel complication during hiring.
Target embedded roles at defense-adjacent contractors carefully
Many embedded positions at defense contractors require security clearances. H-1B1 Chile holders are non-immigrant visa holders, and clearance eligibility is determined separately from your visa status. Confirm clearance sponsorship is on the table before investing time in those applications.
Confirm your employer files an LCA before you schedule your consular appointment
Your employer must submit a certified LCA to DOL before you can apply at the consulate. DOL targets seven business days for LCA certification. Don't book your consular appointment until you have the certified LCA in hand.
Use OFLC Wage Search to anchor your salary negotiation
DOL requires your employer to pay the prevailing wage for your embedded role and work location. Pull the exact wage level from OFLC Wage Search before negotiating so you know the floor your employer must meet and can structure your ask above it.
Plan your re-entry around the two-year initial validity period
H-1B1 Chile is issued for one year at the consulate but can be extended in two-year increments. Unlike H-1B, there's no portability provision, so if you change employers mid-status, your new employer must file a fresh LCA and you must return to the consulate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do embedded engineering roles qualify as specialty occupations for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes. Embedded engineering roles typically require at minimum a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science, which satisfies the specialty occupation definition. The consular officer will confirm the degree-to-role connection during your interview. Roles that accept any four-year degree regardless of field are more likely to face pushback.
How is H-1B1 Chile different from H-1B for embedded engineers?
H-1B requires USCIS petition approval and enters you into a lottery with roughly a one-in-four selection chance. H-1B1 Chile has no lottery, a rarely-filled annual cap of 1,400 visas, and is processed entirely at the consulate. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, so you can't simultaneously pursue permanent residency on that status.
How do I find employers actively sponsoring H-1B1 Chile visas for embedded roles?
Migrate Mate indexes DOL Labor Condition Application filing data so you can search specifically for employers who have filed H-1B1 Chile LCAs for engineering and embedded roles. That's more reliable than asking recruiters, who often confuse H-1B1 Chile with H-1B and don't know which one their company has previously used.
Can I start work before my consular interview is scheduled?
No. You must have a certified LCA, complete the DS-160, pay the MRV fee, and attend your consular interview before you can enter the U.S. on H-1B1 Chile status. There is no change-of-status pathway from within the U.S. for H-1B1 Chile; the visa must be obtained at a U.S. consulate abroad.
What happens to my H-1B1 Chile status if my embedded role is eliminated or I'm laid off?
H-1B1 Chile has no formal grace period codified the way H-1B's 60-day grace period is. If your employment ends, your status effectively lapses. You'd need to depart the U.S. or secure a new employer, have them file a fresh LCA, and return on a new H-1B1 Chile visa obtained at the consulate in Chile.
