Title: Software Design Engineer 4
Location: Remote
Explain a typical day in the role:
A typical day on Project Talonera involves building and improving AI-driven firmware security analysis pipelines that automatically discover vulnerabilities in third-party firmware. Engineers spend their time developing low-level tooling in C++, Python, and LLVM, transforming firmware source code into analyzable LLVM IR, creating compiler passes, generating and refining fuzzing harnesses, and improving automated vulnerability detection workflows. Daily work may include debugging firmware rehosting issues, investigating crashes discovered during fuzzing campaigns, reducing false positives in security findings, and enhancing LLM-based systems that classify firmware functionality and generate analysis artifacts. Team members collaborate closely with security researchers, compiler engineers, and project leadership to review architecture, prioritize new capabilities, and validate analysis results across diverse firmware targets. As Talonera moves toward open-source release, engineers also contribute to code quality improvements, CI/CD automation, testing, documentation, dependency reviews, developer onboarding experiences, and release-readiness activities, helping transform advanced security research into a production-grade platform that can be used and extended by the broader security community.
Responsibilities
- Build and Enhance Security Analysis Pipelines
- Develop preprocessing pipelines that compile C/C++ firmware code into LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR).

Search Construction Engineer Jobs in TexasConstruction Engineer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for construction engineers in Texas?
Several major engineering and construction firms with significant Texas operations have histories of sponsoring work visas, including Fluor Corporation (headquartered in Irving), Jacobs Engineering (headquartered in Dallas), AECOM, Turner Construction, and Kiewit. Energy sector contractors tied to Houston's oil and gas infrastructure are also active sponsors. Sponsorship patterns vary by project pipeline and hiring cycle, so checking current job postings is the most reliable indicator.
Which visa types are most common for construction engineer roles in Texas?
The H-1B visa is the most common visa for construction engineers in Texas, provided the role qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in civil, structural, or construction engineering. The H-1B cap lottery applies to most private employers. Some construction engineers may also qualify under the O-1A for extraordinary ability, and those with Canadian or Mexican citizenship may explore the TN visa under the USMCA, which covers engineers.
Which cities in Texas have the most construction engineer sponsorship jobs?
Houston leads the state for construction engineer sponsorship, driven by petrochemical plant construction, port expansion, and large infrastructure projects. Dallas-Fort Worth is a close second, with major commercial real estate, highway, and transit development. Austin has seen significant growth tied to semiconductor fab construction and tech campus builds. San Antonio and the broader I-35 corridor also generate consistent demand, particularly for transportation and utility infrastructure projects.
How to find construction engineer visa sponsorship jobs in Texas?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers and lets you filter construction engineer roles by state, so you can browse Texas-specific positions where employers have indicated visa sponsorship. Because sponsorship availability is not always advertised clearly on general job boards, using a platform focused on visa-friendly employers saves significant time. Migrate Mate also surfaces roles from contractors and engineering firms actively filing Labor Condition Applications in Texas.
Are there any Texas-specific considerations for construction engineers pursuing visa sponsorship?
Texas does not require a state-specific professional engineering license for construction engineers to begin working, but many employers prefer or require a PE license for senior roles. The Department of Labor's prevailing wage requirements apply statewide for H-1B petitions, and wages are benchmarked by metro area, so Houston and Dallas positions typically carry different wage floors than smaller markets. Texas A&M and UT Austin produce substantial engineering pipelines that some employers prioritize for sponsorship.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored construction engineer jobs in Texas?
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.
