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 in California sponsor H-1B visas?
California has a high concentration of electronics employers with consistent H-1B sponsorship histories. Companies like Apple, Qualcomm, Intel, Broadcom, NVIDIA, Western Digital, and Applied Materials regularly appear in Department of Labor LCA disclosure data for electronics and hardware roles. Smaller semiconductor firms and contract electronics manufacturers in Silicon Valley and San Diego also file H-1B petitions, particularly for engineering positions.
Which cities in California have the most electronics H-1B sponsorship jobs?
San Jose and the broader Silicon Valley corridor account for the largest share of electronics H-1B sponsorship activity in California, given the density of semiconductor and hardware companies there. San Diego is a secondary hub, driven by Qualcomm and a strong defense electronics sector. Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and San Francisco also see consistent H-1B filings from electronics employers across chip design, hardware engineering, and embedded systems.
What types of electronics roles typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship in California?
Roles that regularly qualify include hardware engineers, VLSI and ASIC design engineers, embedded systems engineers, RF engineers, PCB designers, and semiconductor process engineers. These positions generally require a bachelor's degree or higher in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field, which satisfies the H-1B specialty occupation standard. Roles where any general degree field is acceptable are less likely to qualify under USCIS criteria.
How do I find electronics H-1B sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship type and industry, making it straightforward to browse electronics H-1B sponsorship jobs in California without sorting through listings from employers who don't sponsor. You can filter by state and job category to surface hardware, semiconductor, and electronics engineering roles from California employers with active sponsorship histories, saving significant time compared to general job searches.
Are there any California-specific considerations for H-1B sponsorship in electronics?
California's strong employee protections affect how employers structure offers, but the H-1B prevailing wage requirement is determined by Department of Labor data for the specific metropolitan statistical area, so wages in San Jose and San Francisco metro areas tend to reflect higher prevailing wage levels than other U.S. regions. Electronics employers in California also frequently use the H-1B transfer process when hiring candidates already on H-1B status with another employer, which is common in the Bay Area talent market.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B 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.
