An H-1B record is the employer's history, not a promise for this role. The most are at TikTok (86), Applied Intuition (12) and SpaceX (7). By location: San Jose (90), San Francisco (18) and Mountain View (15). 59 of the 157 roles list yearly pay in US dollars; the median midpoint of the listed ranges is $190K, and the middle half runs from $155K to $205K. 11 postings say they will not sponsor a visa; they stay on the list, last. ### Which companies with an H-1B record have entry-level AI and machine learning roles in California open? Today: TikTok, Applied Intuition, SpaceX, Nuro, DoorDash and Esri. An H-1B record here means the employer has approved H-1B workers on file with USCIS (FY2023 to FY2026). An H-1B record is the employer's history, not a promise for this role. ### Does an H-1B record mean this role will sponsor a visa? No. An H-1B record here means the employer has approved H-1B workers on file with USCIS (FY2023 to FY2026). An H-1B record is the employer's history, not a promise for this role. Where a posting says it will not sponsor, believe the posting. ### How many of these roles list pay? 59 of the 157 roles (38%) state pay in the posting, in the employer's own words and currency. ### How much do entry-level AI and machine learning roles in California pay? By the postings themselves: 59 of the 157 roles list yearly pay in US dollars. The median midpoint of the listed ranges is $190K, and the middle half runs from $155K to $205K. This is pay the employers list, not an offer: what one hire is paid depends on level, location and the employer. ### Which roles count as AI jobs here? Roles whose title names AI or machine learning work: ML engineer, AI engineer, LLM and generative AI engineer, MLOps and AI platform, applied and research scientist in AI, forward deployed engineer, AI product manager, AI infrastructure and AI data engineer. Front-end, mobile, design and sales roles are left out even when the team works on AI. Analyst roles with AI in the title stay on the analyst board. ### Where does the data come from? Roles are read daily from the employers' own career pages and the page updates every hour. H-1B approvals come from the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub (data as of 2026-09-30), matched by company name. What a posting says about sponsorship is read from its own text. Reposting sites are left out. Nothing is estimated. ## Up a level - [AI and Machine Learning Jobs in the US](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs) - [AI Jobs in California and the Bay Area (1,555)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/in/california) - [Entry Level and New Grad AI Jobs in the US (296)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/entry-level) ## Visa sponsorship - [AI and Machine Learning Jobs with Visa Sponsorship in the US (3,118)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/visa-sponsorship) - [AI and Machine Learning Jobs for OPT Students (252)](https://realanalystjobs.com/opt-jobs/machine-learning) ## Related pages - [Entry Level AI Jobs in Texas (19)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/in/texas/entry-level) - [Entry Level AI Jobs in New York (17)](https://realanalystjobs.com/ai-jobs/in/new-york/entry-level) ## Elsewhere on Real Analyst Jobs - [H-1B Sponsor Checker: look up any company](https://realanalystjobs.com/tools/h1b-sponsor-checker)
