Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Software Engineer Jobs at Celestica Jobs
Align your portfolio to hardware-adjacent software
Celestica's Software Engineer roles frequently touch embedded systems, IoT platforms, and supply chain tooling. Showcasing projects in those domains, not generic web development, signals immediate relevance to their engineering teams and accelerates hiring decisions.
Target business units with active PERM activity
Celestica files PERM-based Green Card sponsorship for qualifying Software Engineers. Search DOL's OFLC disclosure data by employer name to identify which business units and job titles have active filings, then target your applications accordingly.
Use Migrate Mate to surface open Software Engineer roles
Celestica's open Software Engineer positions are spread across multiple sites and business lines. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Celestica roles with visa sponsorship so you're not manually sorting through listings that exclude international candidates.
Clarify TN eligibility before your offer stage
Canadian and Mexican nationals can enter on a TN visa for qualifying Software Engineer roles without waiting on USCIS adjudication. Confirm with Celestica's HR team that your specific job duties meet the TN computer systems analyst category before negotiating your start date.

Find Software Engineer at Celestica JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Celestica sponsor H-1B visas for Software Engineers?
Celestica's primary sponsorship pathways for Software Engineers are EB-2, EB-3, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and TN. H-1B sponsorship is not listed among their documented visa types for this role. If H-1B is your primary pathway, confirm with Celestica's HR or talent acquisition team before advancing through the interview process, as sponsorship offerings can vary by role level and location.
How do I apply for Software Engineer jobs at Celestica?
Applications go through Celestica's careers portal, where roles are posted by site and business unit. To find positions that explicitly support visa sponsorship, use Migrate Mate to filter Celestica's Software Engineer openings by sponsorship type. Once you identify a fit, apply directly and flag your visa requirements early in the recruiter screen so sponsorship is on the table from the start.
Which visa types does Celestica commonly use for Software Engineer roles?
Celestica sponsors F-1 OPT and F-1 CPT for students and recent graduates, TN visas for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying software roles, and EB-2 or EB-3 immigrant visa categories for longer-term employees pursuing permanent residence. The right pathway depends on your nationality, degree level, and where you are in your career. Confirm the specific visa your target role supports before your final interview round.
What qualifications does Celestica expect for Software Engineer roles?
Celestica's Software Engineer positions typically require a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field. Given the company's electronics and hardware manufacturing focus, experience with embedded systems, firmware development, or industrial software platforms strengthens your candidacy significantly. Roles supporting supply chain or manufacturing operations may also expect familiarity with ERP systems or data integration tooling alongside core software engineering skills.
How do I plan my timeline around Celestica's sponsorship process?
Timeline planning depends on your current status. F-1 OPT gives you up to 12 months of work authorization after graduation, with a 60-day grace period if employment ends. TN sponsorship can be processed at the border without USCIS wait times. For PERM-based Green Card sponsorship, DOL processing alone can take 12 months or longer, so discussing long-term sponsorship intent with Celestica's HR team early in the offer stage is practical, not premature.
