Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Assembly Technician
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
Assembly Technician roles must require a bachelor's degree in a specific field like mechanical engineering or electronics to qualify under E-3 visa. If your Australian three-year degree isn't in a directly related discipline, gather evidence of how your qualifications align with the role's technical requirements.
Target manufacturers with existing visa infrastructure
Employers who have previously filed Labor Condition Applications for engineering or technical roles already understand the DOL certification process. Search DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify manufacturers that have sponsored similar technician positions before.
Get your offer letter to specify degree requirements
The E-3 application depends on your offer letter confirming the role requires a bachelor's degree. If the employer lists the position as preferring rather than requiring a degree, ask HR to revise the language before the LCA is filed, as consular officers scrutinize this distinction.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for LCA and paperwork
LCA filing through DOL's FLAG portal and DS-160 preparation trip up many first-time E-3 applicants. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so your employer isn't left navigating the certification process alone.
Search for sponsorship-ready roles on Migrate Mate
Most Assembly Technician job postings don't advertise E-3 sponsorship upfront. Migrate Mate surfaces roles from employers with active visa sponsorship history, saving you from applying to positions where sponsorship isn't actually available.
Prepare for consulate questions about specialty occupation
Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth consular officers sometimes question whether assembly roles meet the specialty occupation standard. Bring your degree transcripts, a detailed offer letter, and any professional certifications that demonstrate the technical complexity your position requires.
E-3 Visa Assembly Technician: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Assembly Technician jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Most job postings don't flag E-3 sponsorship explicitly, so filtering by employer sponsorship history is more effective than keyword searching. Migrate Mate is built for this, surfacing Assembly Technician roles from employers with a demonstrated track record of sponsoring Australian workers on E-3 visas, so you're not cold-applying to positions where sponsorship isn't on the table.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Assembly Technician role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It depends on how the role is defined. The E-3 requires the position to theoretically and practically require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field, such as mechanical engineering, electronics, or industrial technology. A general assembly role with no degree requirement won't qualify. Roles involving precision systems, quality control engineering, or advanced manufacturing processes are far more likely to meet the specialty occupation standard when the employer specifies degree requirements in the offer letter.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Assembly Technician roles?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens, but it has two significant advantages over the H-1B visa for this role type. There's no annual lottery, so a qualifying job offer leads directly to an application rather than a random selection process. The E-3 also renews in two-year increments indefinitely, giving you long-term continuity in a role without waiting for a cap slot. The H-1B has an 85,000 annual cap and a lottery that rejected more than 70 percent of registrants in recent fiscal years.
What documents does an Australian Assembly Technician need for an E-3 application?
You'll need a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL, a detailed offer letter that specifies the degree requirement, your academic transcripts or credential evaluation, a completed DS-160, and evidence of your Australian citizenship. If your degree is in a field adjacent to the role rather than directly matching it, a credential evaluation and a letter from the employer explaining the connection between your qualifications and the position strengthens the application.
