US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role
Senior Low Observables Design & Integration Engineer - Pole Model Company: The Boeing Company Come join a winning team and support the development of Boeing’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) platforms. The Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) - Phantom Works organization is seeking a Senior Low Observables (LO) Design & Integration Engineer to lead design and analysis activities supporting the fabrication and test of an RCS pole model. The successful candidate will apply deep expertise in LO materials, integration, manufacturing, computational electromagnetic (CEM) modelling, and test support to design, build and test a representative pole model for an advanced next generation program in the St. Louis region. Key Responsibilities: • Lead detailed LO design and integration for the RCS pole model, including material selection, incorporation of advanced technologies, supplier hardware integration. • Use computational electromagnetic solvers to model, analyze, and optimize radar cross section (RCS) and scattering behavior across required frequency bands and aspect angles in support of pre-test predictions and diagnostics. • Work with Manufacturing to ensure proper alignment between design, analysis and fabrication of LO components. • Define and support fabrication processes, QA checks, and build plans for LO skins, coatings, RAM treatments, and attachments; identify and mitigate manufacturability risks, provide LO liaison support to the shop. • Develop and execute test plans for RCS characterization (anechoic chamber and outdoor ranges), including instrumentation, calibration, and measurement repeatability considerations. • Prepare and execute data processing workflows to reduce, calibrate, and analyze measured RCS and related EM test data; combine simulation and measurement data for validation and design iteration. • Produce clear technical documentation: design descriptions, analysis reports, test plans, test reports, procedures, and presentation materials for program reviews. • Mentor junior engineers and support continuous improvement of LO design, test, and data processing practices. Working Conditions and Physical Requirements: • Hands-on support in fabrication or test setups may be required. • Will require travel to other company locations, supplier facilities, fabrication shops, and test ranges (including anechoic chambers and outdoor ranges). Basic Qualifications (Required Skills and Experience): • Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (with a focus in Electrical, Mechanical or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement • Professional experience working with low observable materials and technologies, including hands-on exposure to LO integration, design, manufacturing, and test • Demonstrated experience using computational electromagnetic solvers (e.g., FEKO, HFSS, CST, WIPL-D, CARLOS, SENTRI, XPATCH or equivalent) for design and optimization of LO systems and RCS predictions • Strong understanding of electromagnetic principles relevant to scattering, phenomena, and Radar Cross Section • Proven track record supporting fabrication and testing of LO components/assemblies and correlating measurements to models • Proficiency in data processing and analysis of RCS/EM test data, including calibration, clutter and background rejection, and data visualization techniques • Excellent technical writing skills with experience producing engineering reports, test plans, and test reports • Active U.S. Top Secret Security Clearance • Ability to obtain Special Program Access (U.S. Only Citizenship required) Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills and Experience): • Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in a
