Data Science Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a data science engineer in Massachusetts?
Data science engineering in Massachusetts does not require a state-issued license, so the path runs through education and portfolio. Most Massachusetts employers expect at minimum a bachelor's degree in computer science, mathematics, or a closely related discipline, with a master's degree common at mid-level and above. Building demonstrated experience with real datasets through academic projects, open-source contributions, or internships at Massachusetts research institutions and universities carries significant weight with local hiring managers.
How much do data science engineers make in Massachusetts?
Data science engineers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $131,750 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $81,030 for the lowest 10% to over $206,220 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire data science engineers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring data science engineers in Massachusetts right now include Novartis, XPO, and Framingham State University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of biotech firms, asset managers, and enterprise software companies makes it one of the more consistently active hiring markets for this role.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most data science engineer jobs?
Boston, Cambridge, and Waltham lead for data science engineer openings in Massachusetts. Boston and Cambridge drive volume through their dense cluster of hospitals, biotech research firms, and financial institutions, while suburban Route 128 corridor cities draw significant hiring from established tech and defense employers with large analytics teams based outside the urban core.
Are there remote data science engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 79% of data science engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the desk-based, laptop-first nature of the work. Roles focused on model development, data pipeline engineering, and analytics tend to offer the most location flexibility, while positions embedded in lab or clinical settings typically require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a data science engineer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a co-op or internship at a Massachusetts employer, since universities like Northeastern, MIT, and UMass Amherst run structured programs that feed directly into full-time data roles at Boston-area biotech and fintech companies. Adjacent roles such as data analyst, business intelligence developer, or junior machine learning engineer serve as common lateral stepping stones. A portfolio of end-to-end projects demonstrating model training, deployment, and evaluation strengthens any application significantly.
Where can I find and apply to data science engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
