INTRODUCTION
As an Electrical Engineer within the Test Measurement & Facilities (TMF) organization, you will specify, design, develop, integrate, and validate electrical systems, test infrastructure, and measurement solutions that enable product development, qualification, reliability testing, and troubleshooting across ASML programs. Working in a multi-disciplinary environment, you will collaborate closely with system architects, software and mechanical engineers, suppliers, and customers to deliver innovative test and measurement capabilities that support both current and next-generation technologies.
You will be responsible for delivering robust electrical designs and test solutions within system specifications, cost targets, and project schedules. This includes development of instrumentation, controls, automation, data acquisition systems, and laboratory infrastructure required to support engineering development, product validation, and operational excellence. The Electrical Engineer provides discipline-specific expertise throughout the entire product lifecycle, including concept feasibility, new product introduction, product sustainment, reliability investigations, and customer-facing problem resolution.
Engineers at this level are expected to lead complex technical design work within their discipline or own module-level areas requiring contributions from multiple engineers. They work autonomously on complex tasks with limited guidance, balancing technical quality with timely delivery while interfacing effectively with suppliers, customers, and cross-functional stakeholders. The role requires highly motivated, organized, and self-driven individuals with strong problem-solving skills and a passion for delivering reliable, accurate, and efficient test solutions.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding OPT Sponsorship as a Measurement Technician
Target manufacturers with formal quality departments
Large manufacturers in aerospace, automotive, and medical devices are most likely to sponsor OPT students. These companies have dedicated HR teams familiar with work authorization and regularly hire measurement technicians into structured, multi-year roles.
Highlight metrology certifications prominently
ASQ Certified Quality Technician or CMM certifications signal employer-ready skills. Listing these credentials above your work history helps hiring managers quickly confirm you meet technical requirements, which reduces hesitation around sponsorship conversations.
Confirm your degree qualifies for STEM OPT extension
Engineering technology, industrial engineering, and materials science degrees typically qualify for the 24-month STEM extension. Verify your degree's CIP code with your DSO early so you can accurately communicate your full authorized work timeline to employers.
Address OPT proactively in your cover letter
State your current authorization period and STEM extension eligibility upfront. Employers unfamiliar with OPT often assume the timeline is shorter than it is. Providing clear dates removes ambiguity and keeps your application moving through the hiring process.
Emphasize CAD and measurement software proficiency
Experience with GD&T, SPC software, or CMM programming tools like PC-DMIS directly addresses employer skill gaps. Technicians who can operate measurement equipment and interpret engineering drawings are significantly easier for employers to justify sponsoring.
Apply to government contractors and defense suppliers
Precision measurement is critical in defense manufacturing. Prime contractors and their Tier 1 suppliers frequently hire measurement technicians and maintain established visa sponsorship processes, making them reliable targets for OPT students seeking long-term employment.
Measurement Technician OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work as a Measurement Technician on OPT?
Yes, F-1 students authorized for OPT can work as Measurement Technician if the role is directly related to your degree field. Engineering technology, industrial engineering, and manufacturing-related degrees typically satisfy this requirement. Confirm the connection with your DSO before accepting an offer, since USCIS requires a clear relationship between your job and your field of study.
Does a Measurement Technician role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
It depends on your degree, not the job title. If you graduated in a STEM-designated field such as engineering technology, mechanical engineering, or industrial engineering, you can apply for the 24-month STEM OPT extension regardless of your specific job title. Your employer also needs to be enrolled in E-Verify. Check your degree's CIP code with your DSO to confirm eligibility before your initial OPT period ends.
Do Measurement Technician employers commonly sponsor H-1B visas?
Sponsorship varies by employer size and industry. Large manufacturers in aerospace, medical devices, and automotive tend to have established H-1B sponsorship processes and hire measurement technicians regularly. Smaller shops or contract manufacturers may be less familiar with the process. Searching Migrate Mate filters for OPT-friendly and H-1B-sponsoring employers can help you identify companies already set up to support your transition beyond OPT.
What degree qualifies an F-1 student to work as a Measurement Technician on OPT?
Degrees in engineering technology, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, or materials science are most commonly accepted. The key is demonstrating a logical connection between your coursework and the role's technical requirements, which typically include calibration, quality control, GD&T, and precision measurement. Associate-level degrees do not qualify for OPT, which requires at least a bachelor's degree from a SEVP-certified institution.
How long do I have to find a Measurement Technician job after graduation before my OPT is affected?
USCIS allows up to 90 days of unemployment during your standard OPT period and an additional 60 days if you receive a STEM extension, for a maximum of 150 days total. Unemployment is cumulative, so multiple gaps count together. Starting your job search early and using Migrate Mate to find OPT-eligible Measurement Technician roles gives you the best chance of securing a position well within those limits.
