About Goods iQ
Some companies follow trends. We set them.
Goods iQ develops smart, innovative consumer products and we are relentless about ensuring they show up, stand out, and outsell the competition at every retail touchpoint. Our portfolio of iconic brands includes Bostitch® Office Products, PaperPro®, LockerMate®, PureOptics™ LED Lighting, and Spec Ops™ Tools. Behind every one of them is a team of makers, creators, and category disruptors who move fast, think big, and hold themselves to an uncomfortably high standard.
We run on honesty, collaboration, and a shared obsession with excellence. We celebrate the wins — loudly and often.
The Role
Own the customer. Own the number. Grow both.
Goods iQ is looking for an Account Manager to take full ownership of a portfolio of named accounts, carry the revenue and margin number against them, and open new doors where we have no history.
This is not an account maintenance job.

You will represent the Goods iQ office and lighting portfolio including Bostitch, PaperPro, and PureOptics LED across retail, eCommerce, industrial, and distribution channels, working with product, operations, and marketing to build the plans that win shelf space and hold it.
Equal parts closer and operator. Comfortable negotiating price with a buyer in the morning and rebuilding a forecast in the afternoon. Reporting to a Vice President of Sales, with direct visibility to the executive team.
We hire owners, not order-takers. We need someone who doesn’t wait to be told what to do. You see a gap, you close it. You spot an opportunity; you build the case and act on it. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and each other.

Search Electronics Jobs in Rhode IslandElectronics Green Card Sponsorship Jobs in Rhode Island: Frequently Asked Questions
Which electronics companies sponsor Green Card visas in Rhode Island?
Defense and advanced manufacturing employers are the most active Green Card sponsors in Rhode Island's electronics sector. Raytheon Technologies, Textron Systems, and Schneider Electric have established sponsorship histories for engineering and technical roles. Medical device companies operating near Providence and Woonsocket also sponsor, particularly for roles requiring specialized hardware or regulatory expertise. Sponsorship activity is employer-specific and role-dependent, so verifying each company's PERM filing history through OFLC disclosure data is the most reliable approach.
Which cities in Rhode Island have the most electronics Green Card sponsorship jobs?
Providence concentrates the most electronics employment in Rhode Island, supported by the I-195 Redevelopment District, which has attracted technology and engineering tenants. Woonsocket, East Providence, and Middletown also host electronics and defense employers with documented sponsorship activity. Newport and the surrounding area support naval defense contractors, creating engineering roles that have historically qualified for Green Card sponsorship. Most sponsored positions are within commuting distance of the Providence metro area.
What types of electronics roles typically qualify for Green Card sponsorship in Rhode Island?
Roles requiring a bachelor's degree or higher in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field are most commonly sponsored. Hardware engineers, embedded systems developers, RF engineers, PCB designers, and failure analysis engineers appear regularly in PERM labor certification filings from Rhode Island electronics employers. Quality and reliability engineering roles tied to defense or medical device production also qualify when the position demands specialized credentials. Positions with generic degree requirements across unrelated fields are less likely to qualify under PERM standards.
How do I find electronics Green Card sponsorship jobs in Rhode Island?
Migrate Mate filters electronics jobs by verified Green Card sponsorship history, so you can see which Rhode Island employers have filed PERM labor certifications for roles matching your background. Search by occupation type and location to surface active openings at defense contractors, medical device firms, and hardware manufacturers in the Providence area and surrounding cities. Reviewing employer-level sponsorship data before applying helps you focus on companies with a documented track record rather than those that list sponsorship as a possibility without prior filings.
Are there any state-specific considerations for Green Card sponsorship in Rhode Island's electronics industry?
Rhode Island's electronics employment is heavily weighted toward defense and government contracting, which introduces security clearance requirements for many senior engineering roles. Candidates requiring Green Card sponsorship should confirm whether a role requires U.S. citizenship or an active clearance before applying, as those positions are generally ineligible for sponsorship. Rhode Island does not impose state-level immigration requirements on employers beyond federal PERM and I-140 obligations, but smaller electronics firms in the state may have less familiarity with the full Green Card process compared to larger defense primes.
What is the prevailing wage for Green Card electronics jobs in Rhode Island?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
