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.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Which electronics companies in California sponsor TN visas?
Several large electronics and semiconductor employers in California have established TN sponsorship patterns, including Apple, Intel, Broadcom, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, and Western Digital. Defense electronics contractors such as Raytheon and Northrop Grumman also operate significant California engineering centers. Sponsorship practices vary by role, team, and hiring cycle, so confirming with each employer's HR or immigration team is the appropriate step.
Which California cities have the most electronics TN sponsorship jobs?
San Jose and the broader Silicon Valley corridor see the highest concentration of electronics TN roles, driven by semiconductor and hardware companies headquartered there. San Diego is a strong secondary market, particularly for RF, wireless, and defense electronics. Los Angeles and Orange County host a mix of aerospace electronics and consumer hardware firms, while Sacramento has a smaller but growing presence in power electronics and utilities technology.
What types of electronics roles typically qualify for TN sponsorship in California?
Roles that typically qualify under the TN engineer category include electrical engineers, electronics engineers, hardware design engineers, RF engineers, and semiconductor process engineers, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering or scientific field. Computer engineers and systems engineers may also qualify depending on job duties. Roles that are primarily technician-level or do not require a qualifying degree generally do not meet TN specialty occupation criteria.
How do I find electronics TN sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter by TN visa type, select California as the location, and browse within the electronics and hardware category to see roles where employers have indicated openness to TN sponsorship. This saves significant time compared to manually screening general job postings, where sponsorship willingness is rarely stated upfront. Creating a profile on Migrate Mate also helps match you to relevant new postings as they appear.
Are there any California-specific considerations for electronics TN sponsorship?
California's dense concentration of electronics employers means more TN sponsorship opportunities in absolute terms, but also more competition for those roles. California labor law does not add requirements to the federal TN process itself. However, some California employers, particularly in defense electronics, require security clearances that can complicate or restrict sponsorship for non-U.S. persons. Confirming clearance eligibility with the employer before applying is advisable for those roles.
