Sponsorship possible
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 Role Summary Develop and release reusable model-based simulation capabilities for electric-vehicle power electronics and high-voltage systems. This role will build, integrate, validate, document, and maintain component, plant, and system models for inverters, integrated power electronics (IPE), accessory power modules (APM), onboard charger modules (OBCM), power inverter modules (PIM), charging systems, and high-voltage buses. The engineer will work across power electronics, controls, software, validation, electrical architecture, and vehicle systems teams to deliver reliable co-simulation and virtual capabilities. These capabilities will enable earlier design decisions, accelerate issue resolution, and improve prediction accuracy. The role also includes targeted power-electronics and high-voltage system analysis to improve model fidelity and support hardware, controls, calibration, validation, supplier, and program decisions. Key Responsibilities Primary Assignment: Power-Electronics Virtualization and Co-Simulation • Develop, update, document, and release reusable IPE, plant, and component models representing APM, OBCM, PIM, charging, discharging, and related power electronics functions. • Support model architecture, variant strategy, initialization, signal naming, interface definition, and alignment among in-house models, supplier models, electrical architecture, controls, and CoSIM teams. • Investigate and resolve model and integration issues involving signal mismatches, voltage and current reporting, relay and precharge behavior, derating, fault handling, thermal interactions, and charging or discharging functionality. • Provide recommendations for product and process enhancements based on analysis insights. • Establish practical model release, regression-test, defect-triage, and documentation practices that improve reliability. • Develop standard work, scripts, automated workflows, analytical tools, and, where appropriate, AI/ML-enabled capabilities that improve engineering speed, accuracy, repeatability, and reuse. • Collaborate with global engineering teams, suppliers, and stakeholders throughout development to deliver simulation capabilities that support design decisions and program milestone readiness. • Secondary Assignment: Power-Electronics Analysis and Capability • Perform inverter, converter, power-electronics, and high-voltage bus analyses to evaluate efficiency, losses, thermal performance, ripple, resonance, stability, EMC/EMI, transient response, and system-level performance. • Evaluate the effects of controls, modulation, calibration, component changes, filters, cooling approaches, and alternative architectures on product performance and validation results. • Provide analysis-based recommendations that support requirements, component and system design, controls, validation, supplier assessment, technical issue resolution, and virtualization. • Contribute reusable analysis methods, models, scripts, and documentation that expand team capability and improve consistency across programs. Required Skills and Experience • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering discipline. • Three or more years of relevant experience in power electronics, electrified vehicles, model-based engineering, simulation integration, controls, or a related technical field. • Hands-on experience developing, integrating, validating, debugging, correlating, or releasing MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent engineering models. • Experience debugging model interfaces, initialization, variants, numerical behavior, or system-integration issues. • Experience using Python, MATLAB, or another scripting language for automation, analysis, data processing, or testing. • Wo
