Hybrid (Office 3 days/wk – Onsite-Flex) within Oregon, Washington, Idaho, or Utah. Build a career with purpose. Join our Cause to create a person-focused and economically sustainable health care system.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Every day, Cambia's Applied AI team is living our mission to make health care easier and lives better. We're seeking a Senior AI/ML Solutions Architect who can think strategically about our growing AI portfolio while building the architectural foundation for how Cambia builds intelligent systems. This is a unique technical leadership role that sits at the critical intersection of AI innovation and enterprise architecture. You'll be the bridge between our Applied AI team and Cambia's broader architecture practice, someone who can speak both languages fluently. You can collaborate with enterprise architects and platform engineers on scalability, security, and integration patterns, while also advocating for the unique requirements of building in non-deterministic environments: the observability frameworks, evaluation pipelines, monitoring strategies, and safety guardrails that AI systems demand. We're looking for a hands-on architect, someone who builds consensus through prototypes and working code, not just PowerPoint. You'll roll up your sleeves to prototype solutions, validate technical approaches, and sometimes fill in the gaps to work through harder problems. You'll bring people together by showing what's possible and helping everyone understand the trade-offs. Reporting directly to the VP of Applied AI, you'll shape Cambia-wide standards for AI system development, influence AI/ML platform design, and architect solutions for complex partnerships, all while staying deeply connected to the technical reality of building production AI systems. If you're an experienced architect who understands both the promise and the practical challenges of production AI, who leads through collaboration and working solutions, and who wants to shape how a healthcare organization deploys intelligence at scale, we'd love to hear from you.

Search AI ML Engineering Jobs in OregonAI ML Engineering Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for AI/ML engineers in Oregon?
Intel is one of Oregon's most active H-1B sponsors and maintains a significant presence in Hillsboro with engineering teams working on hardware-adjacent ML roles. Nike's global headquarters in Beaverton has expanded its data science and AI functions. Portland-based tech companies and smaller AI startups also sponsor, though volume and consistency vary significantly by employer size and hiring cycle.
Which visa types are most common for AI/ML engineering roles in Oregon?
The H-1B is the most common visa for AI/ML engineers in Oregon, as these roles typically qualify as specialty occupations requiring at least a bachelor's degree in computer science, data science, or a closely related field. O-1A visas are an option for engineers with demonstrated exceptional ability through published research, patents, or significant technical contributions. Some roles at universities or research institutions may also involve J-1 or F-1 OPT authorization.
Which cities in Oregon have the most AI/ML engineering sponsorship jobs?
Portland and the broader metro area, including Hillsboro and Beaverton, account for the large majority of AI/ML sponsorship activity in Oregon. Intel's Hillsboro campus alone drives substantial engineering hiring. Eugene has a smaller but emerging tech presence connected to the University of Oregon. Corvallis, home to Oregon State University, occasionally produces research-adjacent ML roles, though commercial sponsorship there is limited.
How to find ai ml engineering visa sponsorship jobs in Oregon?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, making it easier to identify AI/ML engineering roles in Oregon where employers are actively willing to sponsor. Rather than sorting through thousands of general postings, you can search directly for sponsorship-confirmed openings in the state. Focusing on companies with established H-1B filing histories in Oregon, particularly in the Portland metro, improves your chances of finding active opportunities.
Are there state-specific factors AI/ML engineers should know about Oregon sponsorship jobs?
Oregon has no state income tax, which affects total compensation comparisons but does not directly impact visa sponsorship processes. Employers must still meet Department of Labor prevailing wage requirements for the specific role and location when filing an H-1B Labor Condition Application. Oregon State University and the University of Oregon produce ML graduates who feed local pipelines, meaning some employers in the state are already familiar with sponsoring international candidates from those programs.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored ai ml engineering jobs in Oregon?
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.
