Description
As a Product Design Engineer on this team, you will be given ownership over the mechanical design of specific parts or modules within the product and will be responsible for the design, analysis, assembly, and reliability of these parts. This role spans the entire spectrum of product design development: concept development, prototyping and testing, CAD and FEA analysis, detailed design, drafting, DOE development, testing, manufacturing and quality analysis. This role will also have a significant focus on softgoods parts and human ergonomics, so experience in these areas is preferred.
This work is undertaken in our offices, our labs and workshops and in partnership with our vendors, where you will be working in-region in the manufacturing facilities. Excellent communication skills including preparing slide presentations and participating in working meetings are critical. Experience working and driving actions in Asian manufacturing facilities, especially high-volume mass production, will be highly valuable.
Minimum Qualifications

- 5+ years of hands-on, detailed product design experience
- Strong analytical skills with regard to mechanical engineering theory
- Experience in softgoods product design (materials, manufacturing techniques)
- Experience working in technical project groups in a professional environment
- Proficiency in 3D CAD (any modelling package)
- Basic GD&T knowledge and experience releasing 2D drawings
- Proficiency in performing tolerance analyses
- Working knowledge of FEA principles
- Practical experience working through DFM challenges with external vendors
- Wide knowledge of basic engineering materials and manufacturing processes
- Experience with vendor FAI/CPK dimensional reports
- Consumer electronics knowledge in a majority of these disciplines: industrial design, optics and lenses, cameras, sensors, displays, PCBs and flexes, silicon, antennas, batteries, thermals
- Excellent communication skills (verbal and written) including emails, preparing slide presentations, and presenting technical concepts to multi-disciplinary teams
- Creative problem solving, with experience in failure analysis, root cause investigation, and DOE creation
- Experience collaborating with Asian manufacturing facilities, specifically in high-volume mass production
- Travel will be 10-25% and you must be willing to move to the Bay Area.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in ergonomics and human factors a plus
- Experience in virtual / augmented reality consumer electronic devices

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Product Design Engineer
Verify your degree field matches the role
H-1B1 visa requires a directly related bachelor's degree, so a mechanical engineering or industrial design degree supports a Product Design Engineer role, but a general business degree typically won't. Check O*NET for the occupation's standard education requirements before applying.
Search verified H-1B1 filers on Migrate Mate
Filter by employers with documented H-1B1 Singapore LCA filings in engineering and design occupations. Migrate Mate surfaces DOL Labor Condition Application data so you target companies that have sponsored Singaporean nationals before, not just those open to it in theory.
Ask employers about LCA timing before accepting
Your employer files the LCA with DOL before your consulate appointment. For Product Design Engineer roles, confirm the employer's HR team knows the H-1B visa1 process specifically, since many only know H-1B filing procedures and may misquote your timeline by weeks.
Benchmark your offered salary against OFLC Wage Search
DOL requires your offered wage to meet the prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search before your offer negotiation so you know the minimum the LCA must certify and can flag any shortfall early.
Prepare a portfolio demonstrating specialty occupation depth
Consular officers assess whether your Product Design Engineer role genuinely requires a specialized degree. Bring documentation showing design methodology, engineering analysis, and cross-functional ownership, not just deliverables, to distinguish your role from technician-level positions that might not qualify.
Request a start date that accounts for consulate wait times
H-1B1 Singapore processing happens at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore after LCA certification, not through USCIS. Build at least four to six weeks between your offer acceptance and your proposed start date to accommodate scheduling and administrative review windows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Design Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Singapore?
Yes, Product Design Engineer qualifies when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as mechanical engineering, industrial design, or product engineering. The employer documents this requirement in the Labor Condition Application filed with DOL. Roles framed as technician or associate-level positions that accept any degree may not qualify, so job title and actual duties both matter.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to H-1B for Product Design Engineer roles?
H-1B1 Singapore skips the lottery entirely and is processed at the consulate rather than through USCIS, so there's no petition filing wait and no annual randomization. The trade-off is that H-1B1 does not confer dual intent, meaning you can't simultaneously pursue permanent residency on this status the way H-1B holders can. For Singaporean nationals focused on U.S. employment without immediate green card plans, H-1B1 is faster and more predictable.
How do I find employers who have actually sponsored H-1B1 Singapore visas for engineering roles?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by verified DOL Labor Condition Application filings, so you can identify employers with documented H-1B1 sponsorship history in engineering and design occupations rather than relying on a company's self-reported openness to sponsorship. That LCA history tells you the employer already understands the filing process for Singaporean nationals specifically.
Can I switch employers after arriving in the U.S. on an H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need to return to the consulate for a new visa stamp before the transfer is complete. Unlike H-1B portability under AC21, H-1B1 doesn't allow you to start working for a new employer while the new application is pending, so coordinate timing carefully with both parties.
What documents should a Singaporean Product Design Engineer prepare for the consulate interview?
Bring your certified LCA from DOL, your job offer letter specifying your role and salary, your degree certificates and transcripts confirming a directly related field, your Singaporean passport, and your DS-160 confirmation. For Product Design Engineer roles, supplementing with portfolio documentation that shows the engineering and analytical complexity of your position can help the consular officer confirm specialty occupation status quickly.
