Align your experience with embedded systems
Celestica builds manufacturing execution and supply chain systems for electronics hardware. Highlighting firmware, embedded software, or systems integration experience in your resume positions you as a direct match for how their engineering teams operate.
Ask about PERM sponsorship timelines early
Celestica sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards, which require PERM labor certification through DOL before the immigrant petition can be filed. Ask directly during the offer stage whether the role qualifies for PERM sponsorship and what the expected timeline looks like.
