- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define and evolve availability metrics for Crusoe’s cloud platform, including establishing, measuring, and improving SLIs and SLOs
- Participate in production incident response, diagnosing and resolving service disruptions while contributing to post-incident reviews and root cause analysis
- Build, operate, and improve observability across Crusoe’s infrastructure using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, and OpenTelemetry
- Identify reliability risks, performance bottlenecks, and early indicators of potential production issues across distributed systems
- Develop automation and tooling that reduces operational toil, improves recovery times, and enables self-healing infrastructure
- Partner with compute, networking, storage, and platform teams to strengthen service resilience and disaster recovery capabilities
- Contribute to improving operational processes, knowledge sharing, and reliability best practices across the engineering organization
- Continue growing technical depth through mentorship, training, and hands-on work operating large-scale AI infrastructure
WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE TEAM:
- 5+ years of experience in Production Engineering, SRE, or large-scale infrastructure operations
- Experience supporting GPU workloads, HPC environments, or latency/throughput-sensitive distributed systems
- Strong knowledge of Linux/Unix systems, including debugging complex issues across kernel and user space
- Previous experience in Infrastructure roles building or managing compute, storage or networking platforms
- Understanding of modern cloud infrastructure fundamentals including Kubernetes, distributed systems, virtualization, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP)
- Familiarity with incident management practices and reliability frameworks (SRE, ITIL, or similar)
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana, or a strong desire to deepen expertise in this area
- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tools such as Terraform or Ansible
- Scripting or programming experience with languages such as Go, Python, C, or C++
- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering teams

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Production Engineer
Align your degree to the role
USCIS scrutinizes whether your degree field directly relates to production engineering duties. A degree in industrial, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering strengthens your petition. Unrelated degrees require a detailed nexus argument from your employer's attorney.
Use OFLC Wage Search before negotiating
DOL requires your employer to pay at least the prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Pull the OFLC Wage Search figures yourself so you negotiate from the same baseline your employer's LCA must meet.
Target manufacturers enrolled in E-Verify
STEM OPT employers must use E-Verify, which signals infrastructure for work-authorization compliance. Production facilities already running E-Verify are faster to onboard H-1B workers because the employment eligibility verification process is already routine.
Find sponsors through Migrate Mate
Filter by Production Engineer roles on Migrate Mate to see employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history in manufacturing and industrial operations, so you target companies that have already committed to sponsoring this specific title.
Confirm the work-site address before filing
Production Engineers are often assigned to plant floors or multiple facilities. Each work location requires a separate LCA posting. If your employer moves you to a new site, USCIS may require an amended I-129, so nail down the primary work address early.
Request premium processing if your start date is fixed
Manufacturing roles often have project-driven start dates tied to production schedules. Premium processing gives USCIS a 15-business-day adjudication window, reducing the risk of delays that would push back your production team onboarding.

Find Production Engineer JobsProduction Engineer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Production Engineer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related engineering field such as industrial, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering. USCIS evaluates both the job duties and the degree requirement, so the offer letter and job description must clearly state the degree as a minimum requirement, not just a preference.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most often for Production Engineers?
Automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, pharmaceuticals, and consumer electronics manufacturers are among the most consistent H-1B sponsors for Production Engineer titles. These industries operate at scale, maintain dedicated immigration compliance teams, and regularly file LCAs through DOL for this occupation. You can browse employers with active filing history on Migrate Mate.
How does the prevailing wage requirement affect Production Engineer offers?
Your employer must file an LCA with DOL certifying your offered wage meets or exceeds the prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Prevailing wages vary significantly by metro area: a role in rural Michigan will carry a lower floor than one in the San Jose metro. Use the OFLC Wage Search to verify the applicable wage level before you sign an offer.
Can a Production Engineer work at multiple plant locations on one H-1B?
Only if each location is covered by a separate LCA. DOL requires the employer to post LCA notices at every worksite where you'll perform H-1B duties. If you rotate between facilities regularly, your employer needs LCAs for each site. Failure to cover all locations is a common compliance gap that can surface during DOL audits.
What happens to my H-1B if my employer closes the production facility I was hired for?
If your employer terminates your H-1B before the petition end date, they're required to pay for your return transportation to your home country. You also get a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsoring employer, change status, or leave the U.S. USCIS allows the new employer to file an H-1B transfer, letting you start work as soon as the receipt notice is issued.
