Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Which aerospace & defense companies sponsor visas in Texas?
Major visa sponsors include Lockheed Martin (Fort Worth), Boeing (multiple locations), Raytheon Technologies (Dallas area), Bell Textron (Fort Worth), General Dynamics (multiple sites), and Northrop Grumman (Dallas). NASA contractors like Jacobs Engineering and KBR frequently sponsor for Houston-area positions. Defense contractors supporting military installations in San Antonio also regularly file H-1B and other visa petitions for engineering and technical roles.
How to find aerospace & defense visa sponsorship jobs in Texas?
Migrate Mate specializes in connecting international professionals with visa-sponsoring aerospace and defense employers across Texas. The platform filters opportunities by location, visa type, and security clearance requirements. Focus on Dallas-Fort Worth for commercial aerospace, Houston for space technology, and San Antonio for military contracts. Many positions require or prefer U.S. citizenship for security clearance, so target roles specifically marked as visa-eligible.
Which visa types are most common for aerospace & defense roles in Texas?
H-1B visas dominate for aerospace engineers, systems engineers, and software developers. O-1 visas are common for senior engineers with specialized expertise in areas like propulsion or avionics. L-1 visas frequently apply to international defense contractors transferring employees to Texas facilities. E-3 visas work well for Australian aerospace professionals, while TN visas serve Canadian and Mexican engineers in qualifying specialties.
Which cities in Texas have the most aerospace & defense sponsorship jobs?
Dallas-Fort Worth leads with Lockheed Martin's F-35 program and Bell's helicopter operations creating thousands of engineering positions. Houston follows with NASA contractors and aerospace technology companies. San Antonio offers defense contractor roles supporting military bases. Austin has emerging space technology companies, while El Paso and Amarillo host smaller defense manufacturing facilities with occasional visa sponsorship opportunities.
Do aerospace & defense jobs in Texas require security clearance for visa holders?
Many Texas aerospace positions require U.S. citizenship for security clearance, limiting options for visa holders. However, commercial aerospace roles at Boeing, Bell, and suppliers often don't require clearance. NASA contractor positions may accept certain visa types for non-classified projects. International defense contractors sometimes have unclassified divisions that sponsor visas. Always verify clearance requirements before applying, as this significantly impacts eligibility.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored aerospace & defense jobs in Texas?
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.
