Astera Labs (NASDAQ: ALAB) provides rack-scale AI infrastructure through purpose-built connectivity solutions. By collaborating with hyperscalers and ecosystem partners, Astera Labs enables organizations to unlock the full potential of modern AI. Astera Labs’ Intelligent Connectivity Platform integrates CXL®, Ethernet, NVLink, PCIe®, and UALink™ semiconductor-based technologies with the company’s COSMOS software suite to unify diverse components into cohesive, flexible systems that deliver end-to-end scale-up, and scale-out connectivity. The company’s custom connectivity solutions business complements its standards-based portfolio, enabling customers to deploy tailored architectures to meet their unique infrastructure requirements.
We are looking for a Technical Lead Design Verification Engineer with a flair for being a code breaker, ability to come up hybrid mechanisms for verification of complex ASICs. Experience with System Verilog, C, C++, Python or other scripting languages would be a plus. Using your coding and problem-solving skills, you will contribute to the functional verification of the designs. You'll be responsible for the full life cycle of verification, from planning to writing tests to debugging, collect and closing coverage. You’ll also work with the software and system validation teams to come up with test plans and executing them in emulation platforms.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Strong academic and technical background in electrical engineering. At minimum, a Bachelor’s in EE is required, and a Masters is preferred.
- ≥5 years’ experience verifying and validating complex SoC for Server, Storage, and Networking applications.
- Knowledge of industry-standard simulators, revision control systems, and regression systems.
- Professional attitude with the ability to prioritize a dynamic list of multiple tasks, and work with minimal guidance and supervision.
- Entrepreneurial, open-minded behavior and can-do attitude. Think and act fast with the customer in mind!
- Authorized to work in the US and start immediately.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE
- Experience with full verification lifecycle based on System Verilog/UVM/C/C++.
- Proven ability to mix and deploy hybrid techniques as in both directed and constrained random.
- Experience with different ways to bug and coverage hunting. Experience in formal methods is a plus.
- Must be able to work independently to develop test-plans, and related test-sequences to generate stimuli and work collaboratively with RTL designers to debug failures.
- Identify and write all types of coverage measures for stimulus and corner-cases. Close coverage to identify verification holes for high quality tape-out.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
- Working experience with scripting tools (Perl/Python) to automate verification infrastructure.
- Prior experience using Verification IPs from 3rd party vendors with one or more communication protocols such as PCI-Express (Gen-3 and above), Ethernet, InfiniBand, DDR4/5, NVMe, USB, etc.
- Working experience with scripting tools (Perl/Python) to automate verification infrastructure.
- Experience with directed test based methodologies, cache verification and formal methods.
COMPENSATION
- The base salary range is USD 160,000.00 – USD 195,000.00. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
We know that creativity and innovation happen more often when teams include diverse ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, and we actively encourage everyone with relevant experience to apply, including people of color, LGBTQ+ and non-binary people, veterans, parents, and individuals with disabilities.

Which electronics companies sponsor Green Card visas in California?
Several major California-based electronics employers have established Green Card sponsorship programs, including Apple, Intel, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Broadcom, Western Digital, and Applied Materials. These companies regularly file PERM labor certifications for hardware engineers, semiconductor designers, and embedded systems specialists. Sponsorship patterns vary by company size, role, and business need, so researching individual employer histories through DOL PERM disclosure data is a practical starting point.
Which cities in California have the most electronics Green Card sponsorship jobs?
The San Jose and Santa Clara area, known as Silicon Valley, accounts for the largest share of electronics Green Card sponsorship activity in California, given the density of semiconductor and hardware companies headquartered there. San Diego is a strong secondary market, driven by Qualcomm and a growing cluster of wireless and RF engineering firms. Los Angeles also has meaningful activity in consumer electronics and aerospace-adjacent hardware roles.
What types of electronics roles typically qualify for Green Card sponsorship in California?
Roles that typically qualify involve a high degree of specialization and a minimum bachelor's degree requirement in a directly related field. Common examples include hardware design engineers, VLSI and ASIC engineers, semiconductor process engineers, RF and analog circuit designers, and embedded firmware engineers. Positions where the employer can demonstrate no qualified U.S. worker is available, a requirement of the PERM process, tend to be highly technical with field-specific degree requirements.
How do I find electronics Green Card sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter by visa type, industry, and state to surface electronics roles in California where employers are actively sponsoring Green Cards. This saves significant time compared to manually screening job listings. Migrate Mate aggregates sponsorship-relevant postings so you can focus on applications rather than research, which matters when you're working within a timeline tied to your current visa status.
Are there California-specific considerations for Green Card sponsorship in the electronics industry?
California's strong labor protections mean employers must meet the DOL's prevailing wage requirements before filing a PERM application, and those wage floors are often higher in the Bay Area and San Diego than national averages due to local wage determinations. California also has a high concentration of H-1B holders in electronics who eventually pursue Green Cards through the EB-2 or EB-3 employment-based categories, which means India-born applicants in particular face significant PERM backlog wait times under the per-country limits.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card electronics jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
