Reporting to the Associate Director of Enterprise Applications, the Business Systems Analyst (BSA) or Senior Business Systems Analyst (Sr. BSA) is a key member of Bentley Information Technology's Data Management and Application Services (DMAS) team. The team supports more than 40 enterprise applications serving all areas of the University, including the Registrar, Advising, Campus Services, Procurement, and Facilities.
This position partners with University stakeholders to understand business processes, identify technology solutions, and optimize the use of enterprise applications, including Workday. Working closely with functional users, technical teams, and third-party vendors, the analyst supports the full project lifecycle—from business process analysis and requirements gathering through testing, implementation, reporting, and post-production support. This position may be filled at either the Business Systems Analyst or Senior Business Systems Analyst level based on the selected candidate's education, experience, skills, and demonstrated qualifications. While both levels perform the core responsibilities of the role, the Senior Business Systems Analyst is expected to independently lead more complex initiatives, serve as a strategic partner to business stakeholders, and provide advanced business analysis expertise.
Essential Functions

- Partner with SaaS vendors to troubleshoot issues, evaluate enhancements, and support the ongoing optimization of enterprise applications.
- Create and maintain business process documentation, workflows, functional documentation, training materials, and user guides.
- Provide Tier 2 application support by researching issues, documenting findings, coordinating resolutions, and promoting effective system use.
- Develop, analyze, and deliver reports to support business operations and informed decision-making.
- Lead or support business analysis activities throughout the project lifecycle—from requirements gathering through implementation and post-production support—based on the scope and complexity of assigned initiatives.
- Support end-user adoption by providing training, documentation, and guidance on business processes and enterprise applications.
- Perform other related duties as assigned.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Business Systems Engineer
Align your degree to the role
USCIS requires a direct-field degree match for specialty occupation approval. A Computer Science, Information Systems, or Industrial Engineering degree maps cleanly. If yours is adjacent, document coursework and experience that bridges the gap before applying.
Search LCA filings by SOC code
Business Systems Engineers typically file under SOC 15-1299 or 15-1211. Run the OFLC Wage Search filtered by those codes to see which employers filed LCAs in the past 12 months and at what wage levels before you apply.
Target E-Verify enrolled employers first
Federal contractors and large tech firms enrolled in E-Verify are structurally set up for H-1B sponsorship. Prioritize roles at these organizations because their HR teams already have USCIS petition workflows, reducing back-and-forth during the offer stage.
Find verified sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter Business Systems Engineer roles by confirmed H-1B filing history on Migrate Mate. This cuts out employers who list sponsorship as possible but have no DOL Labor Condition Application track record to back it up.
Negotiate the offer before the LCA is filed
Once your employer files the LCA with DOL, the wage level is locked. Push for Level III or IV classification during offer negotiation, not after, because the certified wage becomes the floor USCIS will scrutinize in your I-129 petition.
Use O*NET to validate specialty occupation language
Pull the O*NET occupation profile for your job code and match its listed tasks and required knowledge areas to your offer letter job description. A strong alignment between O*NET and your duties strengthens the specialty occupation argument in your petition.
H-1B Visa Business Systems Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Business Systems Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B?
Yes, provided the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Analytics, or Industrial Engineering. The key is that the job duties must make a specific technical degree necessary, not just preferred. Roles blending broad project management with minimal technical depth can face USCIS scrutiny, so job description language matters.
Which employers regularly sponsor H-1B visas for Business Systems Engineers?
Enterprise software firms, large financial institutions, healthcare networks, and federal contractors are the most consistent sponsors for this role because they run complex internal systems that require dedicated engineering oversight. You can verify an employer's actual filing history using Migrate Mate, which surfaces DOL Labor Condition Application data by role and employer so you're not guessing at sponsorship intent.
What wage level does DOL typically assign to H-1B Business Systems Engineers?
DOL assigns wage levels I through IV based on experience, complexity, and supervisory responsibility. Most mid-career Business Systems Engineers land at Level II or III under relevant SOC codes like 15-1299. You can check current prevailing wage benchmarks for your metro area using the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating your offer, since the certified wage floor is binding once the LCA is filed.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I change Business Systems Engineer roles?
Yes. Under H-1B portability rules, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they file an I-129 transfer petition, as long as your current H-1B is valid and you're moving into a role that still qualifies as specialty occupation. You don't need to wait for USCIS approval to start. Confirm the new role maps to a comparable SOC code to avoid a specialty occupation challenge.
Does working across multiple business units affect my H-1B status as a Business Systems Engineer?
It can if the work location or employer of record changes without an amended I-129. Business Systems Engineers who get assigned to client sites or different company divisions as part of their role need to confirm whether an amended petition is required. USCIS treats a new worksite in a different metro area as a material change if it wasn't covered in the original petition, which triggers an LCA amendment and potentially a new filing.
