    How this list is ranked

    These employers are ranked by how many roles open to CPT candidates they have live on Migrate Mate right now. CPT is your own work authorization rather than something the employer files, so the practical question is whether the role fits your field of study and whether the team has hired people on CPT before.

How CPT works

CPT is curricular practical training authorized by an F-1 student's school, not the employer. The school's DSO authorizes it as an integral part of the curriculum, typically an internship or co-op, and the employer only provides an offer letter. Twelve or more months of full-time CPT eliminates OPT eligibility, so check the terms with your DSO first.

CPT Employers for Mechanical Engineers: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies sponsor the most CPT visas for Mechanical Engineers?

WSP has the most, with 1 live CPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Garver (1) and Hargrove Engineers + Constructors (2). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 9 live CPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for CPT?

CPT is available to F-1 students whose internship or co-op is an integral part of their established curriculum. You must be enrolled at a SEVP-certified school, have completed one full academic year of study, and have a specific job offer in a role directly related to your major. Your DSO authorizes CPT on your I-20 before you begin working. Full-time CPT lasting 12 months or more eliminates OPT eligibility.

Do mechanical engineers qualify for F-1 CPT as a specialty occupation?

Yes. Mechanical engineers typically hold a bachelor's degree in a specific field, which is exactly the specialty-occupation standard F-1 CPT is built around. What matters is that the employer classifies the role under a matching occupation code and that your degree lines up with it.

How do I get CPT through a top employer?

To get CPT authorized, first secure a job offer from an employer whose role is directly related to your mechanical engineering coursework. Bring the offer letter to your DSO along with any required department approval forms your school uses. Your DSO reviews the offer against your curriculum requirements and, if approved, issues an updated I-20 listing the CPT authorization, employer name, and work dates. You may not begin work until that updated I-20 is in hand.
