Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization in Automation
Verify your CIP code matches automation
Check your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code against the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List before applying. Electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science codes typically qualify for Automation roles, but industrial technology programs vary.
Confirm employers are E-Verify enrolled
Before submitting applications, verify each company's E-Verify enrollment through the E-Verify employer search portal. Automation teams at manufacturing and defense contractors are often enrolled, but smaller systems integrators sometimes aren't, which disqualifies them for your extension.
Build your I-983 training plan around automation competencies
Work with your DSO and hiring manager early to draft an I-983 that ties your daily tasks to specific learning objectives. For Automation roles, frame PLC programming, SCADA configuration, or robotics deployment as direct applications of your degree's technical curriculum.
Target industries with dense automation hiring
Automotive, semiconductor fabrication, food processing, and aerospace sectors run dedicated automation engineering teams and file Labor Condition Applications consistently. Use Migrate Mate to filter Automation job listings by employers with active STEM OPT hiring records so you skip the manual research.
Check prevailing wage tiers before negotiating
Look up your target job title and work location in the OFLC Wage Search before your offer stage. Automation engineers often span wage levels one through three depending on supervisory scope, and knowing your tier prevents you from accepting an offer that undercuts DOL standards.
File your OPT extension 90 days before expiration
USCIS requires your STEM OPT extension application to arrive no earlier than 90 days before your initial OPT ends and recommends filing with significant buffer given processing times. Your DSO must update your I-20 with a new end date and training plan before you file the I-765.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Automation jobs qualify for the STEM OPT 24-month extension?
Most Automation roles qualify if your underlying degree maps to an eligible CIP code on the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List. Degrees in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, and systems engineering typically qualify. Your DSO confirms eligibility by matching your specific CIP code to the list, not by evaluating your job title alone.
What E-Verify requirement applies to my Automation employer?
Your employer must be actively enrolled in E-Verify at the specific worksite where you'll be employed, not just at the corporate level. You can confirm enrollment through the E-Verify employer search before signing an offer. If your role involves a client site or contract placement, the E-Verify requirement applies to your direct employer of record, not the end client.
How does the I-983 training plan work for an Automation engineering role?
The I-983 must connect your daily Automation tasks to learning objectives tied to your STEM degree. For example, if you're programming PLCs or deploying robotic cells, your training plan should map those tasks to coursework in control systems or mechatronics. Your employer's designated representative signs the form, and your DSO must approve it before USCIS processes your extension.
What happens to my work authorization if my OPT expires while my extension is pending?
If you filed your STEM OPT extension application before your initial OPT expired, you're covered by a 180-day cap-gap period that lets you keep working while USCIS adjudicates. You must have filed on time and remain employed with the same E-Verify employer. USCIS issues a receipt notice confirming your continued authorization during this window.
Where can I find Automation jobs at employers enrolled in E-Verify?
Migrate Mate filters Automation job listings specifically for employers enrolled in E-Verify and with STEM OPT hiring history, so you don't have to cross-reference company enrollment separately. You can browse roles by location and automation subdiscipline, then confirm the employer's E-Verify status before applying, which saves significant time during an already tight OPT timeline.
