Hiring Signals

Open roles from our DB joined with public DOL H1B LCA filings (FY2026 Q1, Oct–Dec 2025).

ℹ️

Salary & hiring signal, not a forecast. Use these figures as a reference for recent compensation bands and H1B-sponsorship activity at Pacific Biosciences — they don't predict future H1B willingness or guarantee similar wages on new offers.

Scope: H1B LCA filings cover all roles at Pacific Biosciences (engineering, science, IT, etc.) — not bioinformatics-only. At biotech & pharma companies the mix skews toward R&D and computational roles, but treat the wage distribution as the company's overall H1B band rather than a strict comp-bio benchmark.

Open Roles (Live)

No public openings right now in our index. Could mean a hiring freeze, a sourcing-only phase, or simply that current roles aren't on the channels we aggregate — check the H1B and trial signals below for additional context.

No H1B LCA data available for Pacific Biosciences in Q1 2026 (may not have filed petitions, or filings didn't match bioinformatics SOC codes).

Quarter-over-quarter trend

Historical H1B trend chart coming — backfilling Q2/Q3/Q4 2025 LCA data.

Clinical-trial portfolio

No primary trial sponsorship data for Pacific Biosciences (likely a diagnostics or platform company rather than a trial sponsor).

Salary Ranges by Level

Too few Pacific Biosciences postings on CompBioJobs disclose pay to show reliable salary figures yet.
