Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization as an Electronic Engineer
Confirm your CIP code covers electrical engineering
STEM OPT eligibility depends on your degree's CIP code mapping to the DHS STEM list. Electrical Engineering (14.1001) and Computer Engineering (14.0901) both qualify, but verify your specific program with your DSO before applying to roles.
Check employer E-Verify status before applying
Only E-Verify-enrolled employers can hire you on STEM OPT. Search the E-Verify employer search tool by company name before submitting applications. A role at a non-enrolled firm, however attractive, cannot legally support your extension.
Align your I-983 training plan to engineering deliverables
Your I-983 must list specific learning objectives tied to your Electronic Engineer role, not generic job duties. Frame objectives around measurable engineering outcomes like PCB design milestones or RF system validation cycles so USCIS adjudicators see a direct STEM connection.
Target defense contractors familiar with foreign national hiring
Many defense-adjacent Electronic Engineer roles require security clearances that exclude foreign nationals. Screen postings for clearance requirements early. DOL LCA disclosure data shows which employers regularly file for Electronic Engineer roles open to F-1 workers, and Migrate Mate surfaces those employers directly.
Negotiate your start date around DSO processing time
Your DSO must recommend the STEM OPT extension and update SEVIS before you submit Form I-765 to USCIS. Build at least 90 days of lead time between your offer acceptance and your intended start date to avoid gaps in work authorization.
Use OFLC Wage Search to benchmark your offer against prevailing wage
STEM OPT doesn't legally require prevailing wage, but accepting below-market pay can create problems if you later pursue H-1B sponsorship. Run your job title and location through OFLC Wage Search to confirm your offer meets Level I or II wage bands for Electronic Engineers.

Find Electronic Engineer JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does an Electronic Engineer role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your degree is in an eligible STEM field such as Electrical Engineering (CIP 14.1001), Computer Engineering (CIP 14.0901), or a closely related discipline on the DHS STEM designated degree list. The job title alone doesn't determine eligibility; the CIP code tied to your specific degree program does. Confirm your program's CIP code with your DSO before filing.
What does my employer need to do to support my STEM OPT as an Electronic Engineer?
Your employer must be enrolled in E-Verify and must co-sign Form I-983, the training plan that documents your learning objectives and supervision structure. The I-983 should tie your engineering duties to concrete STEM learning goals. Employers must also conduct evaluations at the midpoint and end of your extension and report any material changes to your DSO within five business days.
What happens to my work authorization if my H-1B is selected in the lottery while I'm on STEM OPT?
If your employer files an H-1B petition on your behalf and it's selected in the lottery, cap-gap protection automatically extends your STEM OPT work authorization through September 30 of that fiscal year, or until USCIS approves or denies the petition, whichever comes later. You don't need to file separately for cap-gap; it applies automatically as long as your OPT EAD was valid on April 1.
Can I work for multiple employers as an Electronic Engineer on STEM OPT?
You can work for more than one employer concurrently, but each employer must independently be enrolled in E-Verify, and each must be listed on your I-983 training plan with its own set of learning objectives. Your DSO must update your SEVIS record to reflect every employer. Working for an employer not listed on your I-983 violates your STEM OPT terms and risks status termination.
Where can I find Electronic Engineer jobs at employers already familiar with STEM OPT?
Migrate Mate filters Electronic Engineer listings by employers with verified E-Verify enrollment and a track record of hiring F-1 workers, so you're not spending time on roles that can't support your extension. You can search by engineering discipline, location, and employer type to narrow results to positions where STEM OPT authorization is already part of the hiring process.
