Engineer jobs in United States
H-1B specialty occupation: No fixed salary threshold: the employer must pay the prevailing wage, and new petitions go through an annual lottery with a low success rate. Citizens of some countries have other routes for named occupations (for example TN status for Canadians and Mexicans); this check covers H-1B only.
States license Professional Engineers: usually an ABET-accredited degree, the FE exam, about four years of experience and the PE exam. Many industry jobs don’t need a licence, but only a licensed engineer can sign and seal engineering drawings.
