One solid signal, not two — worth applying, and worth asking about sponsorship early.
- Employer is on a government sponsor recordThe US Department of Labor certified 606 H-1B/E-3 labor condition applications for this employer between Oct 2025 and Jun 2026 (latest Jun 2026) — the step every H-1B hire needs first. USCIS also records 267 H-1B approvals in FY2023. Source: LCA disclosure data (US Department of Labor (OFLC)).
- The posting doesn’t mention sponsorshipSilence isn’t a refusal — ask the recruiter before investing much time.
- No salary bar for this routeH-1B has no fixed salary bar: the employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role and area. Cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level.

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
Job Description The Role In-vehicle connectivity and precise positioning are critical enablers for advanced driver assistance, autonomous driving, and connected vehicle services. We are seeking a Staff Hardware Engineer– GNSS to lead the definition, design, and validation of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) solutions for our current and future generations of connectivity and compute platforms across a broad range of vehicles. This role will serve as the subject matter expert for GNSS hardware and system performance, working closely with product, systems, RF, hardware design, suppliers, and validation teams to deliver robust, automotive-grade GNSS solutions. What You’ll Do (Responsibilities): System & Requirements Ownership • Define end-to-end GNSS hardware and system requirements for connectivity and compute modules, including RF front-end, baseband, timing, and antenna interfaces. • Translate product and vehicle-level requirements into clear, testable engineering specifications for GNSS performance (sensitivity, accuracy, availability, robustness, TTFF, jamming/spoofing resilience, etc.). • Own GNSS-related sections of hardware requirement documents, design guidelines, and interface specifications. Cross-Functional Collaboration • Collaborate with Product Management and Systems Engineering to understand use cases, feature roadmaps, and vehicle integration constraints, and reflect them in GNSS hardware requirements. • Partner with Vehicle Integration and Validation teams to align GNSS performance metrics and test plans with vehicle-level targets. • Lead and participate in design and technical reviews focused on GNSS architecture, hardware design, and validation strategy. Supplier & Roadmap Leadership Work with GNSS chipset/module and RF component suppliers to: • Evaluate and select GNSS solutions (chipsets, modules, LNAs, filters, antenna components). • Influence supplier technology roadmaps to align with our long-term product strategy. Collaborate with Purchasing to : • Evaluate and score technical proposals and RFQs. • Provide clear technical recommendations balancing performance, cost, risk, and scalability. • Review and assess supplier test procedures and results for GNSS performance and compliance with internal standards. Hardware Design & RF Integration Work closely with Hardware Design and RF Engineering teams to: • Develop schematics for GNSS signal chains, including RF front-end, matching networks, filtering, and protection circuitry. • Review and approve PCB layouts for GNSS sections, focusing on RF best practices, grounding, isolation, controlled impedance, and coexistence with cellular, Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth, and UWB. • Provide guidance on GNSS antenna interface requirements, including active/passive antennas, feed architecture, and placement constraints. • Support design reviews, root-cause analysis, and issue resolution related to GNSS performance, EMC/EMI, and interference/coexistence. Lab & Conducted Testing Define and execute conducted RF test plans for GNSS, including: • Sensitivity and dynamic range. • C/N₀, phase noise, and insertion loss characterization. • Jamming and interference susceptibility, including coexistence with other in‑vehicle radios. • Develop test setups, fixtures, and automation for GNSS conducted characterization using spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, GNSS simulators/recorders, and RF switch matrices. • Analyze test data and provide clear, actionable design feedback to internal teams and suppliers. Vehicle-Level GNSS Performance & Test Cases Define end-to-end vehicle-level GNSS performance requirements and KPIs, including: • Position accuracy, availability, continuity, and integrity across driving scenarios. • TTFF (cold/warm/hot start) and reacquisition
