Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Manufacturing Engineer Jobs at ABB Jobs
Tailor your resume to ABB's engineering domains
ABB's Manufacturing Engineer roles cluster around robotics integration, motion systems, and electrification production lines. Frame your resume around process optimization, PLC or automation experience, and lean manufacturing, the technical language ABB's hiring teams are screening for.
Target ABB sites with active production operations
ABB's U.S. manufacturing footprint includes facilities in states like Ohio, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Roles tied to active production sites are more likely to carry sponsorship budget than corporate or sales-support engineering positions, so filter your applications accordingly.
Verify your credentials meet specialty occupation standards
USCIS requires H-1B eligibility to rest on a specific bachelor's degree field tied directly to the role. For Manufacturing Engineer positions, a degree in mechanical, industrial, or manufacturing engineering is the baseline, a general business or unrelated technical degree won't clear USCIS's specialty occupation bar.
Understand how PERM shapes your long-term sponsorship path
If ABB sponsors your Green Card through EB-2 or EB-3, DOL's PERM labor certification process requires them to document that no qualified U.S. worker was available for your specific role. Starting this conversation during offer negotiation helps you understand ABB's internal timeline for initiating PERM.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Manufacturing Engineer roles at ABB
Searching broadly across job boards makes it hard to filter for employers with a real sponsorship history. Migrate Mate lets you browse Manufacturing Engineer openings at ABB specifically filtered for visa sponsorship, so you can focus your applications where sponsorship is actually on the table.

Find Manufacturing Engineer at ABB JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does ABB sponsor H-1B visas for Manufacturing Engineers?
Yes, ABB sponsors H-1B visas for Manufacturing Engineers. ABB is an active H-1B filer in the manufacturing sector and has a consistent pattern of sponsoring engineering roles tied to its U.S. production and automation operations. Sponsorship availability can vary by site and business unit, so confirming with the recruiter early in the process is practical.
How do I apply for Manufacturing Engineer jobs at ABB?
Applications go through ABB's careers portal, where Manufacturing Engineer roles are posted by location and business division. You can also browse open positions filtered for visa sponsorship on Migrate Mate, which surfaces ABB roles where sponsorship has historically been available. Tailor your application to the specific division, whether that's electrification, motion, or robotics, since each has distinct technical requirements.
Which visa types does ABB commonly use for Manufacturing Engineers?
ABB primarily sponsors H-1B visas for Manufacturing Engineers, which requires the role to qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards. For longer-term permanent residence, ABB has used the EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based Green Card categories, typically initiated through the DOL's PERM labor certification process after you've established tenure in the role.
What qualifications does ABB expect for Manufacturing Engineer roles?
Most Manufacturing Engineer postings at ABB require a bachelor's degree in mechanical, industrial, or manufacturing engineering. Hands-on experience with automation systems, lean or Six Sigma methodologies, and familiarity with PLC programming or robotics integration is commonly listed. Roles tied to specific production lines may also require knowledge of relevant safety standards or quality management systems like ISO.
How do I plan around the H-1B filing timeline when targeting ABB?
The H-1B cap lottery registration opens in March, with petitions filed in April for an October 1 start date. If you receive an offer from ABB outside that window, you'll need to bridge your work authorization, either through OPT, OPT STEM extension, or a cap-exempt filing if ABB has qualifying facilities. Mapping your offer timeline against the USCIS lottery calendar before you apply helps avoid gaps in authorization.
