About the job
In this role, you will support new product engineering and development in Google’s hardware research and development (R&D) labs by helping to design, build, and maintain system-level testbeds (think data center-scale).
Our engineering lab team performs work that allows product development teams to focus on development. We have broad general skill sets and take pride in running engineering labs and filling in the gaps between the more narrowly-focused product development teams. Our Platforms Infrastructure Engineering team designs and builds the hardware and software technologies that power all of Google's services. Our computational challenges are complex and unique, enabled by cutting-edge custom hardware designed and made in-house. As a hardware engineer, you will design and build the systems that are the heart of the world's largest and most powerful computing infrastructure. You will see those systems from concept all the way through to high-volume manufacturing. Your work has the potential to shape the machinery that goes into our cutting-edge data centers, affecting millions of Google users.
The US base salary range for this full-time position is $132,000-$189,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits. Learn more about benefits at Google.
Responsibilities
- Help design and build system-level testbeds and maintain lab space, tools and infrastructure.
- Work with teams to develop software and hardware systems and develop methodologies and tools to support team members.
- Coordinate the interactions between labs and engineering.
- Anticipate and resolve problems by applying knowledge and skills, escalating design, manufacturing and product test issues to other people within the organization when appropriate.
- Generate implementation plans and provide technical expertise and guidance during deployment activities.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Validation Engineer
Verify your degree supports specialty occupation
Validation Engineer roles require a bachelor's degree in engineering, life sciences, or a directly related field. Confirm your Chilean credentials align with the specialty occupation definition USCIS applies before targeting employers, not after.
Check prevailing wages before salary negotiations
Your employer must certify a wage meeting DOL prevailing wage levels on the Labor Condition Application. Run your job title and location through the OFLC Wage Search before your offer conversation so you know the floor.
Target industries with active LCA filing histories
Pharmaceutical, medical device, semiconductor, and biotech firms file the most validation-specific LCAs. Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers with documented H-1B1 Chile filing history in those sectors rather than guessing at sponsorship willingness.
Clarify CSV versus IQ validation scope in applications
U.S. employers distinguish Computer System Validation from Instrument Qualification roles when assessing degree fit. Specify which validation frameworks you've worked in, since an LCA denial can follow if your degree field doesn't map to the posted role's defined specialty.
Understand the LCA must be certified before your interview
The Labor Condition Application gets filed with DOL and must receive certification before your consular appointment. Confirm your employer has submitted it and received approval, not just started the process, when you schedule your visa interview date.
Prepare your credential evaluation for the consular officer
Chilean engineering degrees from accredited institutions are generally accepted, but consular officers can request a foreign credential evaluation. Having a formal equivalency report from a NACES-member evaluator ready removes a common source of administrative processing delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Validation Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes, Validation Engineer qualifies as a specialty occupation when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in engineering, life sciences, computer science, or a directly related field. The O*NET profile for validation and quality engineering roles confirms the theoretical and practical application requirement that defines specialty occupation status.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa differ from H-1B for Validation Engineer roles?
Both require a specialty occupation and employer-sponsored LCA, but the H-1B1 visa Chile has no lottery, no USCIS petition fee, and applications go directly to a U.S. consulate in Chile. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 doesn't allow dual intent, so maintaining clear nonimmigrant intent matters more throughout the process.
How do I find employers who have sponsored H-1B1 Chile visas for Validation Engineers?
Migrate Mate lets you search employers by visa type and occupation, surfacing companies with verified H-1B1 Chile LCA filing history in validation-relevant industries like pharmaceuticals and medical devices. That narrows your target list to employers who have already navigated the process rather than those who may be unfamiliar with it.
Can my employer file the LCA for a Validation Engineer role with a broad job description?
The LCA must match the specific duties the officer will assess at your consular interview. If the job description covers multiple functions, USCIS and DOL guidance requires the prevailing wage and specialty occupation basis to reflect your primary role. A validation-specific LCA tied to your actual engineering duties is stronger than a broadly worded one.
What happens to my H-1B1 Chile status if my Validation Engineer project ends early?
H-1B visa1 Chile status is tied to your specific employer and position. If your role ends before your authorized period expires, you don't have an automatic grace period the way H-1B holders do. Changing employers requires a new LCA and consular appointment, so clarifying project continuity with your employer before accepting an offer is essential.
