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 in Manufacturing
Match your degree to the SOC code
Manufacturing H-1B petitions are frequently challenged when the degree field doesn't map to the SOC code on the LCA. Pull the O*NET profile for your target role and confirm your degree field aligns before applying.
Filter employers by LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to search Manufacturing roles by verified LCA filing history, so you're targeting employers who have already navigated H-1B sponsorship for your occupation code, not ones encountering it for the first time.
Prioritize E-Verify enrolled manufacturers
STEM OPT and cap-gap protections require your employer to be enrolled in E-Verify. Confirm enrollment status before accepting an offer; many smaller manufacturers are exempt from E-Verify mandates and haven't enrolled voluntarily.
Benchmark wages against the OFLC Wage Search
Your offer must meet the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search before negotiations so you know the Level I through Level IV thresholds for your specific county and role.
Ask about multi-site LCA coverage during offer
Manufacturing roles often involve work across multiple plant locations. If your role requires travel to facilities not listed on the certified LCA, USCIS can issue an RFE or denial. Confirm the employer understands blanket LCA requirements before your petition is filed.
Request premium processing for production-tied start dates
Manufacturing roles tied to product launch cycles or seasonal production ramps can't wait out standard USCIS processing. Request that your employer file with premium processing to get a 15-business-day adjudication decision and protect your start date.

Find Manufacturing JobsManufacturing H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Manufacturing roles qualify as H-1B specialty occupations?
Most Manufacturing roles that require a bachelor's degree in engineering, materials science, industrial technology, or a directly related field qualify as specialty occupations. General production or assembly roles that accept any degree or no degree do not qualify. The determining factor is whether the position's normal duties require theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge in a specific discipline.
Which Manufacturing job titles have the most H-1B sponsorship activity?
Industrial engineers, manufacturing engineers, quality engineers, process engineers, and automation engineers appear most frequently in DOL LCA filings for Manufacturing. Supply chain analysts and materials engineers also have consistent filing activity. To find which specific employers are actively sponsoring these titles right now, browse Manufacturing jobs on Migrate Mate, which surfaces verified LCA filing history by occupation code.
Can my H-1B cover work at multiple manufacturing facilities?
Yes, but your employer's LCA must list each worksite location where you'll spend significant time. If you're regularly assigned to a plant not covered by the certified LCA, your employer needs to file an amended or additional LCA for that location. Short-term placements under DOL's short-term placement rules are an exception, but they're time-limited and don't substitute for proper LCA coverage.
What happens to my H-1B if my manufacturing employer shuts down a facility?
If your employer closes the specific facility where you're stationed but keeps you employed at another location, your H-1B remains valid as long as the job duties and wage obligations don't change materially. If the role itself is eliminated and you're laid off, USCIS provides a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsoring employer, change status, or depart the U.S.
Do smaller manufacturers sponsor H-1B visas, or only large companies?
Smaller manufacturers do sponsor H-1B visas, but less frequently than large companies because the process requires filing an LCA with DOL and a petition with USCIS. Smaller employers are also less likely to be enrolled in E-Verify, which matters if you're on STEM OPT. Look for mid-size manufacturers with prior H-1B filing history rather than approaching employers with no sponsorship experience.
