Electrical Controls Engineer Jobs in Indiana: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a electrical controls engineer in Indiana?

Indiana does not require a state-issued license specifically for electrical controls engineers in manufacturing or industrial roles, though engineers who stamp drawings or offer services to the public must hold a Professional Engineer license issued through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency. Most employers require a bachelor's degree in electrical or systems engineering. Practical experience with PLC and SCADA platforms carries substantial weight in Indiana's manufacturing-heavy hiring market.

How much do electrical controls engineers make in Indiana?

Electrical controls engineers in Indiana earn a median of about $102,670 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $69,290 for the lowest 10% to over $152,480 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire electrical controls engineers in Indiana?

Employers hiring electrical controls engineers in Indiana right now include Flanders Electric, Wabash, and Amentum, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Indiana's concentration of automotive assembly plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, and industrial equipment makers creates steady demand for controls talent well beyond a single company or sector.

Which Indiana cities have the most electrical controls engineer jobs?

Evansville, Lafayette, and Indianapolis lead Indiana for electrical controls engineer openings. Indianapolis anchors the market as the state's largest metro with a broad mix of manufacturing, life sciences, and systems integrators, while Fort Wayne and Evansville reflect Indiana's strong regional manufacturing base, where automotive suppliers and industrial equipment producers maintain large engineering teams.

Are there remote electrical controls engineer jobs in Indiana?

Yes, but they're rare. About 25% of electrical controls engineer openings tied to Indiana are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which reflects how hands-on this role typically is. The portions of the work most suited to remote arrangements include documentation, PLC code review, and project engineering tasks that don't require physical presence on the plant floor.

How can I get hired as a electrical controls engineer in Indiana with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is an electrical engineering or technology degree followed by an internship or co-op at one of Indiana's large manufacturers. Companies such as Cummins and Subaru of Indiana Automotive run structured intern and new-graduate programs that expose candidates to controls environments directly. Candidates coming from adjacent roles in maintenance technician or industrial electrician positions often transition successfully, especially after adding PLC coursework or a Rockwell Automation certification to their background.

Where can I find and apply to electrical controls engineer jobs in Indiana?

You can find and apply to electrical controls engineer jobs in Indiana on Migrate Mate, which lists current Indiana openings updated regularly. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
