About The Role
Join a team that prizes precision and craftsmanship. In this role, you’ll execute the finishing steps that give our Pilates apparatus its look, feel, and durability. You’ve already spent time in a finishing booth (or a closely related spray environment) and are ready to apply consistent technique in a production setting.

- Spray booth operations: Stage parts, maintain filters and cleanliness, manage flash/cure times, and document materials used when needed.
- Inspection: Check adhesion, coverage, sheen, and uniformity; flag inconsistencies and follow rework standards.
- Safety: Use all PPE, follow chemical-handling and ventilation protocols, and maintain a tidy, organized booth.
What You Bring
- 12+ months in wood/cabinet/furniture finishing OR adjacent spray-finishing (e.g., auto refinish, industrial coatings, millwork).
- Working knowledge of HVLP equipment, spray patterns, tip selection, and basic gun maintenance.
- Strong hand–eye coordination, consistent technique, and attention to detail.
- Comfort with solvents/finishes and shop tools; ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods.
- Reliable, team-oriented, organized, and coachable.
- Equivalent experience welcome: Cabinet shop finisher, furniture finisher, millwork spray tech, or auto body prep/spray with strong sanding and coating discipline.
What You’ll Get
- Craftsmanship & brand legacy: Your work ships worldwide and is trusted by top studios and instructors.
- Clean, safety-first environment: PPE provided; well-maintained booth and clear work instructions.
- Predictable schedule: Consistent second-shift hours for those who prefer afternoons/evenings.
- Benefits: Multiple PPO/HMO options; low-cost dental; company-provided short- and long-term disability; no-cost life insurance; paid holidays, sick time, and vacation.

Job Roles at Gratz Pilates Companies
How to Get Visa Sponsorship in Gratz Pilates Visa Sponsorship USA
Target roles that align with H-1B specialty occupation criteria
Gratz Pilates has sponsored H-1B visas, which require specialty occupations. Focus your application on roles in engineering, product design, or technical operations where a specific bachelor's degree is a genuine requirement, not just a preference.
Highlight precision manufacturing experience prominently
Gratz Pilates builds high-end equipment to exacting standards. Candidates who can demonstrate hands-on experience with precision manufacturing processes, quality control, or materials engineering will stand out in a competitive applicant pool.
Search for open roles using a verified sponsorship filter
Not every job listing mentions visa sponsorship upfront. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history, helping you confirm Gratz Pilates is actively hiring before you invest time in an application.
Apply with a resume tailored to physical product manufacturing
Gratz Pilates makes tangible, high-quality equipment, not software. Emphasize experience with physical product development, assembly processes, supply chain, or workshop operations to show you understand the demands of this specific manufacturing environment.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Gratz Pilates sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, Gratz Pilates sponsors H-1B visas. The company has a track record of supporting foreign nationals in specialty occupation roles, particularly within its manufacturing operations. If you're targeting an H-1B at Gratz Pilates, focus on technical or engineering roles where your degree directly aligns with the job requirements.
What visa types does Gratz Pilates sponsor?
Gratz Pilates sponsors H-1B visas for specialty occupation workers, F-1 OPT for international students completing U.S. degrees, and TN visas for eligible Canadian and Mexican nationals. The company does not have a documented Green Card sponsorship history, so long-term permanent residency pathways may require separate planning with an immigration attorney.
Which departments or roles at Gratz Pilates are most likely to receive visa sponsorship?
Given Gratz Pilates's focus on precision Pilates equipment manufacturing, sponsored roles tend to be in technical and production-oriented functions. Engineering, product development, quality assurance, and operations are the areas most likely to qualify for H-1B or TN sponsorship, since these positions typically require a specific field of study at the bachelor's level or above.
How do I find open visa-sponsored jobs at Gratz Pilates?
The most reliable approach is to use Migrate Mate, which aggregates and verifies sponsorship data so you can browse Gratz Pilates openings filtered by visa type. This saves you from wading through listings that don't actually offer sponsorship. You can also check directly with Gratz Pilates's HR team to ask about active roles and their current sponsorship posture.
How do I time my application to Gratz Pilates around the H-1B cap?
H-1B cap-subject petitions can only be filed in April for an October 1 start date, so your timeline with Gratz Pilates needs to account for that cycle. Aim to have an offer secured by February or March at the latest. F-1 OPT holders can begin work before the H-1B is approved, giving you a practical bridge period if you're transitioning from student status.
