    How this list is ranked

    These employers are ranked by how many roles open to OPT candidates they have live on Migrate Mate right now. OPT 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 OPT before.

How OPT works

OPT is work authorization for F-1 students, not an employer-sponsored visa. The student applies through their school's international office (the DSO) and USCIS with Form I-765; the employer files nothing. The role must relate to the student's field of study. OPT gives up to 12 months of work authorization, with a 24-month STEM extension for eligible degrees.

Medical Device OPT Employers: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies hire the most OPT students?

Stryker has the most, with 302 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by SGS (99) and Pace Analytical Services LLC (76). Across the 10 medical device companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 884 live OPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for OPT?

F-1 students are eligible for OPT after completing at least one academic year of full-time enrollment at an accredited U.S. institution. Work must be directly related to the student's major field of study. Pre-completion OPT is available before graduation, while post-completion OPT is the most common path and provides up to 12 months of work authorization. Students in STEM fields may qualify for a 24-month extension beyond the initial period.

How much does F-1 OPT cost?

F-1 OPT is student work authorization, so there is no employer sponsorship fee. The student pays the USCIS filing fee for the work-authorization application, plus any costs their school charges. Fee amounts change from time to time, so check the current figure before you rely on it.

How do I get OPT through a top employer?

OPT authorization is obtained by the student, not by the employer. Start by requesting an OPT recommendation from your Designated School Official, who updates your SEVIS record and issues a new I-20. You then file Form I-765 with USCIS, which processes the application and mails an Employment Authorization Document. Once you have your EAD, you may begin working for any employer in a role related to your field of study. Apply at least three months before your intended start date to allow processing time.
