Hey Yo,
Is there any possibility of a Design Engineer Intern position opening up in the future? I’ve got almost as much design experience as time in school, but still a year off of the ME degree…
Also, if you’re Canadian, is that enough to fulfill the “Candidate must be qualified to work in the US already.”? Luckily we’re the exception to most immigration laws and it wasn’t too hard last time I came down to work.
Finally, what do you look for in an ME portfolio? So far I’ve tried to build it along the lines of a traditional ID portfolio: sketches, rendering, etc. to show design ability and let the ME degree (or in my case my GPA in ME) speak for itself, assuming nobody wants to see my FEA and surface analysis or lines of equations.
Sorry if it sounds like I’m trying to fit the job to me, I’m just kicking myself for not being born a few years earlier and in the US
“Candidate must be qualified to work in the US already.” means you’ll need a TN-1, H1-B status or Permanent Resident card. Based on your posting it sounds like you had a TN-1. If you have any of the three above you’d definitely qualified to work in the US.
