This Manufacturing Engineering Technician will support electronics production by translating engineering designs into reliable, repeatable manufacturing processes. You will help optimize assembly and test flows, drive continuous improvement to improve yield and reduce cycle time, and ensure products meet quality and regulatory requirements across high-volume and prototype lines.
Our Team
You will join the Manufacturing Engineering group within Electronics Operations, a cross-functional team of design engineers, process engineers, and production specialists focused on delivering high-reliability electronic assemblies. The team partners closely with Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to move products from prototype to scalable production.
What You Will Do
- Support process development and scale-up by implementing manufacturable assembly and test methods that increase yield and throughput.
- Diagnose recurring quality or assembly failures, identify root causes, and enable corrective actions that reduce defect rates.
- Develop and maintain assembly and test documentation (work instructions, process flow, FMEAs) that enable consistent production and knowledge transfer.
- Collaborate with engineering, operations, and suppliers to introduce equipment, fixturing, and process changes that lower cost and improve manufacturability.
- Lead small continuous-improvement projects (yield improvements, cycle-time reduction, scrap reduction) and report measurable results.
- Provide hands-on support on the production floor for troubleshooting, product qualification, and pilot builds to ensure successful ramp to volume.
Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)
- Associate degree or technical certificate in Electronics Technology, Manufacturing Engineering Technology, or related STEM field, or equivalent technical work experience.
- Minimum 2 years' experience in electronics manufacturing or electronics assembly process support.
- Familiarity with board mount connectors, wire build/harness connectors, basic soldering principles, crimping, wire cut/stripping, and common inspection/diagnostic tools (multimeter, oscilloscope).
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, assembly drawings, and process documentation.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills sufficient to create work instructions and interact with cross-functional teams.
What Will Put You Ahead
- Experience with board mount connectors, wire build/harness connectors, basic soldering principles, crimping and wire cut/stripping.
- Certifications such as IPC-A-610 / J-STD-001 soldering/assembly or similar.
- Hands-on experience with building electronic connectors, wired assemblies, test systems, and troubleshooting.
- Experience with quality and continuous improvement tools (8D, root-cause analysis, SPC, Six Sigma, PDCA, or Lean).
- Process improvement, eliminating waste, creating value, cost savings, team mentality, and a desire to learn and continue to grow.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as an Engineering Technician
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
USCIS requires your degree field to directly relate to the Engineering Technician role. A general technology degree may trigger an RFE if the job description doesn't specify a required field. Match your transcript to the job's stated educational requirement before applying.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating salary
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I through Level IV prevailing wages for Engineering Technician roles in your target metro. Your offered salary must meet at least the Level I wage for the employer's LCA to be certified by DOL.
Target employers already enrolled in E-Verify
E-Verify enrollment is a strong signal that an employer has an established hiring process for work-authorized candidates. Engineering firms in defense contracting are often federally required to use E-Verify, making them more practiced at H-1B sponsorship workflows.
Search by LCA filing history on Migrate Mate
Filter Engineering Technician roles on Migrate Mate by employers with verified DOL Labor Condition Application filings. This shows you which companies have actively sponsored this specific occupation, not just roles adjacent to it, so you're not guessing at sponsorship willingness.
Ask employers about cap-exempt status early
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated labs are cap-exempt, meaning they can file your H-1B petition outside the annual 85,000-slot lottery. Engineering Technician roles at national labs or university facilities often qualify and can be filed any time of year.
Align your O*NET profile to your offer letter
Pull the Engineering Technician O*NET occupation profile and cross-reference its listed tasks and knowledge areas with your offer letter's job duties. If your letter omits core duties listed in O*NET, ask the employer to revise it before the I-129 petition is filed.

Find Engineering Technician JobsEngineering Technician H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Engineering Technician role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It depends on how the employer defines the position. USCIS evaluates whether the role normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. If the job description accepts any technical degree or substitutes experience for education without restriction, USCIS may issue an RFE questioning specialty occupation status. Roles in aerospace, defense electronics, or process engineering that specify a required degree field are stronger candidates.
How do I find Engineering Technician employers who sponsor H-1B visas?
Migrate Mate shows verified H-1B sponsorship history by job title and employer, drawn from DOL LCA disclosure data. This tells you which companies have filed for Engineering Technician roles specifically, not just whether they've sponsored any H-1B worker. Defense contractors, utilities, semiconductor manufacturers, and aerospace firms appear most frequently in LCA filings for this occupation.
What happens to my H-1B if my Engineering Technician role changes significantly after filing?
A material change in job duties, location, or employer entity may require filing an amended H-1B petition with USCIS before the change takes effect. Moving to a new worksite in a different metro area, for example, typically requires a new LCA certified at the prevailing wage for that location. Confirm with your employer's immigration counsel before any role restructuring.
Can I switch Engineering Technician employers while on H-1B status?
Yes, through H-1B portability under AC21. Once your current H-1B petition has been approved and you've been in valid H-1B status, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they file an H-1B transfer petition on your behalf. You don't need to wait for approval, but the new role must still qualify as a specialty occupation.
Which industries hire Engineering Technicians on H-1B most often?
DOL LCA disclosure data shows the highest filing volumes for Engineering Technician roles in semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace and defense, utilities and energy infrastructure, and industrial automation. Government contractors with federal facility clearance requirements and engineering consulting firms that staff client sites also appear regularly in LCA filings for this occupation code.
