Development Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a development engineer in Florida?
Most development engineer roles in Florida require a bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline from an ABET-accredited institution. Florida does not mandate a state license for all engineering roles, but engineers who sign and seal public documents must hold a Professional Engineer license issued by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers. Candidates who pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam first become Engineers in Training, then qualify for the PE exam after gaining sufficient work experience.
How much do development engineers make in Florida?
Development engineers in Florida earn a median of about $109,000 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $73,180 for the lowest 10% to over $160,340 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire development engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring development engineers in Florida right now include Bohler, Kimley-Horn, and Atwell, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Florida's aerospace corridor along the Space Coast, its growing semiconductor sector, and its large civil construction pipeline mean demand runs across both private industry and government contractors with major Florida facilities.
Which Florida cities have the most development engineer jobs?
Orlando, Miami, and Tampa have the most development engineer openings in Florida. Orlando anchors the market through its dense concentration of aerospace, defense, and simulation technology employers, while Tampa's manufacturing and infrastructure sectors drive steady hiring, and Miami's large-scale real estate and civil development projects sustain consistent demand for engineers across construction and systems disciplines.
Are there remote development engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields, since development engineering frequently requires on-site testing, prototyping, or facility access. About 30% of development engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in software-heavy development roles such as embedded systems design and systems architecture rather than hands-on hardware or civil engineering functions.
How can I get hired as a development engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing a junior or associate engineer role through a Florida employer's formal new-graduate hiring program. Large Florida aerospace and defense contractors, including those on the Space Coast and in the Orlando corridor, run structured rotational programs for recent ABET graduates. Sitting for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam early strengthens any application, and candidates with internship experience at a Florida DOT project, a defense subcontractor, or a state university research lab regularly convert those placements into full-time offers.
Where can I find and apply to development engineer jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to development engineer jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current Florida openings across industries and experience levels. Find the roles that fit your background and apply directly from the listing.
