Controls Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a controls engineer in Florida?
Most employers in Florida require a bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or systems engineering as the foundation. Florida does not mandate a state-specific license for controls engineers in most industrial settings, though pursuing a Professional Engineer license through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers can strengthen senior-level candidacy. Hands-on experience with PLC and SCADA platforms is consistently required, and certifications from ISA or Rockwell Automation carry real weight with Florida manufacturers and defense contractors.
How much do controls engineers make in Florida?
Controls engineers in Florida earn a median of about $101,610 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $68,850 for the lowest 10% to over $156,560 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire controls engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring controls engineers in Florida right now include Blue Origin, Mitsubishi Power Americas, and Carrier, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's aerospace corridor around Orlando and the industrial manufacturing base in Tampa and Jacksonville drive a large share of the openings.
Which Florida cities have the most controls engineer jobs?
Orlando, Tampa, and Florida account for the most controls engineer openings in Florida. Orlando's concentration of aerospace and defense contractors, Tampa's industrial manufacturing and utilities sector, and Jacksonville's logistics and processing facilities create the strongest hiring demand across the state.
Are there remote controls engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Controls engineering is heavily hands-on, with most roles requiring on-site commissioning, equipment troubleshooting, and plant-floor presence. About 21% of controls engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be limited to design, documentation, and project engineering phases rather than full-time field or production roles.
How can I get hired as a controls engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a controls or automation technician role, which large Florida manufacturers and defense contractors regularly hire without deep engineering experience. Companies like Lockheed Martin and Siemens offer structured new-graduate rotational programs in Florida. Completing a PLC programming course and earning an entry-level Rockwell or Siemens certification before applying gives candidates a concrete edge, as does seeking co-op experience through Florida Polytechnic University or the University of South Florida's engineering programs.
Where can I find and apply to controls engineer jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to controls engineer jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Florida employers. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience and location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
