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.

Which companies sponsor the most OPT visas for Engineering Managers?
Kimley-Horn has the most, with 157 live OPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by WSP (13) and Amazon.com (78). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 335 live OPT jobs, updated daily.
Who is eligible for OPT?
F-1 students who have completed at least one full academic year at an accredited U.S. college or university are eligible for OPT. Authorization is tied to your field of study, so the engineering management role must relate directly to your degree program. You apply through your Designated School Official and USCIS, not through the employer. OPT grants up to 12 months of work authorization, with a 24-month STEM extension available for qualifying degree fields.
Do engineering managers qualify for F-1 OPT as a specialty occupation?
Yes. Engineering managers typically hold a bachelor's degree in a specific field, which is exactly the specialty-occupation standard F-1 OPT 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 OPT through a top employer?
OPT authorization is a student-driven process, not an employer filing. You start by requesting a new I-20 with an OPT recommendation from your Designated School Official, then you file Form I-765 with USCIS. Once USCIS issues your Employment Authorization Document, you present it to your employer and you can begin work on or after the start date printed on the card. The engineering management role must relate to your field of study, which your DSO confirms before issuing the recommendation.
