Google job boards such as CareerBuilder ... Have you researched your visa options?

HI 2step,

I am on my way to get a J1 visa. When I search under Electronics jobs seems to be everywhere. Someone told me Chandler,AZ is a good area, because there are lot of companies such as Intel and some other semiconductor manufacturing companies. CA also seems to be one of the best state for electronics jobs as well. But don't know which town is best to land in for my purpose. Houston in TX also can not forget when it comes to electronics. The US is a large country i must take a decision asap where to land.

Thanks for the feedback anyway

Silicon Valley ( metro San Jose, CA ) is still the best area though there are many other high tech areas around the country. Salaries are higher in Silicon Valley but the cost of living is also higher. If I were you, I would search for places that I want to live and then look for the jobs. I was a Software design consultant until I retired. I have also been a hardware engineer. I have worked in Silicon Valley, San Diego, Phoenix Arizona, SE Florida, and a few other places. Silicon Valley was my favorite place by far.

There are not a lot of jobs right now but there are still some. I still receive offers now even though I am retired.
