INTRODUCTION
Apple's Vision Products Group is looking for a strategic product design leader to help define the future of health, wellbeing, and fitness experiences across vision products. You will translate ambiguous opportunities at the intersection of spatial computing, wearables, consumer health, and human behavior into clear first-party product direction by identifying high-impact opportunities, shaping early concepts, defining what should be built, and helping cross-functional teams bring those experiences to life.
The ideal candidate is a product leader who thinks deeply and works concretely, turning complexity into direction. They have helped build consumer health, wellbeing, or fitness products, and they know how to balance customer impact, behavioral insight, technical feasibility, and design quality. They are equally comfortable framing a new opportunity, working through tradeoffs with design and engineering, synthesizing user and market signals, and leading executive conversations that drive clarity and alignment.
DESCRIPTION
This role connects strategy to execution. You will identify the health, wellbeing, and fitness opportunities with the greatest potential for customer impact, shape first-party experiences, and help teams move from exploratory ideas to validated product direction. You will bring strong product judgment to emerging technologies and new interaction modalities, including spatial computing, sensor-driven experiences, personalization, and multimodal interfaces, staying close to prototypes, user insights, and technical constraints so that direction becomes experiences that can be designed, built, tested, and delivered.
You are a systems thinker, clear communicator, and cross-functional leader who operates effectively through ambiguity in a highly collaborative and ownership-oriented manner. You can synthesize complex information, identify the decision that needs to be made, and bring teams together around a clear path forward. If you are curious, energized by ambiguity, and motivated by the opportunity to help millions of people live healthier, more active lives through thoughtfully designed products, we would love to hear from you.

Align your portfolio to U.S. specialty occupation standards
Your portfolio should demonstrate degree-level design engineering work, not just creative output. Employers need to show DOL that the role requires a specific bachelor's degree, so document the technical and engineering rigor behind each project.
Target companies with active LCA filing history
Search DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify employers who have filed LCAs for product design or engineering roles before. Prior LCA activity signals a sponsorship-ready HR and legal process already in place.
Clarify specialty occupation fit before accepting an offer
Not every Product Design Engineer title qualifies if the role description allows a range of unrelated degrees. Before signing, confirm your offer letter ties the position to a specific technical discipline, which protects the LCA filing and your visa application.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the LCA submission with DOL, prepares your DS-160 and consulate documents, and coordinates your Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth appointment from start to finish.
Get your Australian credentials formally evaluated early
A three-year Australian bachelor's in industrial or mechanical design is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree, but having a credential evaluation ready before interviews removes a common employer hesitation about E-3 eligibility.
Prepare for consulate questions on nonimmigrant intent
Product design roles often attract long-term career interest in the U.S., which consular officers flag. Have a clear, honest account of your ties to Australia and your two-year employment plan ready before your visa interview.
E-3 Visa Product Design Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Product Design Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. It filters opportunities by employers who understand the E-3 process, so you're not wasting applications on companies that confuse it with the H-1B lottery. Searching through a general job board gives you no way to filter for E-3 sponsorship readiness before applying.
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 a Product Design Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field such as industrial design, mechanical engineering, or product development engineering. The key test is whether the employer can demonstrate that a degree in that specific discipline is a standard requirement for the role. Broadly worded job descriptions that accept any degree can create problems at the LCA stage.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Product Design Engineers?
The E-3 has no annual lottery and no cap that comes close to being exhausted, so Australian product design engineers can receive a visa any time of year after securing an offer. The H-1B requires entering a random lottery with roughly a 25% selection rate. Both require specialty occupation status and a certified LCA, but the E-3 process moves faster and is far more predictable.
Can I switch employers or change roles while on an E-3 as a Product Design Engineer?
You can change employers, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp before re-entering the U.S. or, in some cases, you can file a change of status if you're already inside the country. The new role must also independently qualify as a specialty occupation, so a title change that broadens the degree requirement could affect eligibility.
