We're a team of hands-on builders, engineers, and innovators reinventing how the world makes physical things. If you're ready to shape the future of fabrication, come build it with us.
Electrical engineering at Formlabs bridges the gap between the analog and digital worlds. If you love to design and build boards from the ground up, develop firmware to control complex electromechanical systems, and produce elegant solutions to real-world problems, we want you as an Electrical Engineer.
You are highly encouraged to share an example of your work that demonstrates your skills and experience.
The Job:
- Design and build prototypes and production electronic systems, including circuit design, PCB layout, embedded firmware development, bring up and validation
- Own projects, not skills - this role is for a "full-stack" engineer with a focus on shipping products, not a specialist in any one area of electronics engineering
- Go beyond the board - be responsible for the design of subsystems such as sensors, actuators, and optoelectronics that require tradeoffs between electrical and mechanical requirements
- Back up your design decisions with data gathered through simulations and experiments
- Hone your skills and grow: engineers at Formlabs have grown into deep technical experts, system architects, product technical leads, and team leaders/managers. We support talented people growing in any direction.
You:
- Have a minimum of 2 years of experience designing and debugging electronics that have gone into products
- Are an electrical engineering generalist, comfortable with analog and digital design, PCB layout, validation, and debugging techniques
- Are comfortable working with electronics that interact with the physical world - our most complex problems tend to involve the integration of electronics, mechanical designs, and software.
- Are hands-on and interested in supporting your designs throughout the product life cycle, from early research to debugging field failures
Bonus Skills:
- Familiarity with embedded software development, for example: microcontroller firmware developed in C or C++, device drivers or board support packages for embedded Linux systems, or C++ application development. Hardware design is a core part of our team's responsibilities, but we also extend into low-level software development when knowledge of the physical system is key to writing the best code.
Our Benefits & Perks:
- Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
- Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
- 401K matching and access to financial advisors
- Generous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as an Electrical Engineering Intern
Align your credentials to USMCA Engineer standards
TN visa eligibility for engineering interns requires a bachelor's degree or higher in electrical engineering or a closely related field. A diploma in electronics technology or a general science degree won't satisfy the Engineer category, even if your coursework overlaps.
Target employers experienced with visa sponsorship
Internship programs at semiconductor manufacturers, defense contractors, and utility companies have experience sponsoring work visas for engineering roles. Searching job boards for positions at these employers—particularly those with recent visa filings—can help you find roles at companies familiar with visa sponsorship processes and equipped to support international talent in electrical engineering fields.
Clarify the internship's specialty occupation framing early
CBP officers scrutinize intern titles because they can imply training rather than professional practice. Ask your employer to document that the role requires applying engineering theory independently, not just shadowing licensed engineers. That framing distinction directly affects your approval at the port of entry.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for TN-sponsoring engineering employers
Searching broadly for internships wastes time on employers unfamiliar with TN requirements. Migrate Mate lets you filter specifically for electrical engineering roles at companies with TN visa sponsorship history, so you spend your outreach on employers already set up to file.
Confirm Mexican nationals' consulate appointment timelines before accepting offers
Unlike Canadians who can present TN documents at a land border, Mexican nationals must schedule a U.S. consulate interview. Appointment wait times vary significantly by location and season, so confirm your start date is realistic against current consular availability before signing an offer letter.
Request your TN support letter in USMCA-specific language
Generic offer letters citing 'engineering work' get challenged at the border. Ask your employer's HR or legal team to reference the USMCA Engineer category explicitly, state your degree field, and describe duties in terms of applying electrical engineering principles, not administrative or generalist tasks.
Electrical Engineering Intern TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Electrical Engineering Intern role qualify for a TN visa?
Yes, provided the position meets the USMCA Engineer category requirements. The role must require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a closely related discipline, and your duties must involve applying engineering principles rather than observational or administrative tasks. CBP officers evaluate the substance of the internship, not just the title, so your employer's support letter needs to clearly document the technical scope of the work.
How does TN visa sponsorship for this role compare to H-1B sponsorship?
TN visa sponsorship for electrical engineering interns is significantly faster and more predictable than H-1B visa. There's no lottery, no annual cap for Canadians, and no multi-month USCIS petition window. Canadian nationals can receive TN status same-day at a port of entry. H-1B visa requires an employer to file months in advance and win a randomized selection. For internship timelines, TN is the practical choice when the role qualifies.
What documents does my employer need to prepare for my TN sponsorship?
Your employer must provide a signed support letter on company letterhead specifying the USMCA Engineer category, your job title and duties, your start and end date, and confirmation that your role requires a degree in electrical engineering. You then present this support letter, your degree credentials, and your passport at the U.S. border (if Canadian) or U.S. consulate (if Mexican). There is no government filing required before your port of entry or consulate application—the support letter is your key document.
Where can I find Electrical Engineering Intern roles that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Most general job boards don't filter by visa sponsorship type, making it hard to identify employers already experienced with work visas. Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search, letting you find electrical engineering internship listings at companies with recent visa filings. That narrows your outreach to employers who understand sponsorship processes and won't need to be educated on visa requirements from scratch.
Can I extend my TN visa if my internship converts to a full-time role?
Yes. TN status can be renewed in three-year increments with no cap on renewals, as long as you maintain a qualifying job offer and continue to meet the Engineer category requirements. If your internship converts to a permanent electrical engineering position, your employer prepares a new support letter reflecting the full-time role. Canadians renew at the border; Mexican nationals return to a U.S. consulate to complete the renewal process.
