Answer
Jeffrey

I live in the USA, so I am assuming you may have some interest in coming here to work by sending me your question? I don't know much about the avionics industry, but I do know of a great job listings site/publication that may provide you some jobs leads if you are interested in coming here and are able to obtain a green card:

www.airjobsdigest.com

In addition, this page has links to aviation job listings and placement services. Although many are specific to pilots, there are also other positions on some sites:

Also, if you are interested in working in Europe, try this message board for ideas on where to look for employment:

Hope you can find something!
