Electrical Controls Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a electrical controls engineer in Massachusetts?

The most direct path is a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology, followed by entry-level work on automation or controls systems. Massachusetts does not require a state-specific license solely to work as an electrical controls engineer in industry, but engineers who offer services to the public or sign off on designs for regulated projects must hold a Professional Engineer license issued through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Building toward that credential early strengthens your candidacy at larger employers.

How much do electrical controls engineers make in Massachusetts?

Electrical controls engineers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $127,720 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,140 for the lowest 10% to over $176,470 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire electrical controls engineers in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring electrical controls engineers in Massachusetts right now include Lithios, Cezanne HR, and Smiths, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of defense contractors, medical device manufacturers, and advanced industrial firms means demand for controls talent stays consistent across both large corporations and specialized systems integrators throughout the state.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most electrical controls engineer jobs?

The cities with the most electrical controls engineer openings in Massachusetts are Boston, Newton, and Medford. Greater Boston anchors the market through its dense cluster of defense primes, life sciences campuses, and automation firms, while Worcester and Lowell draw demand from advanced manufacturing and industrial machinery companies that have operated in central and northeastern Massachusetts for decades.

Are there remote electrical controls engineer jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, but they're rare. Electrical controls engineering is fundamentally hands-on work involving panel builds, on-site commissioning, and factory acceptance testing, which keeps most roles tied to a physical location. About 40% of electrical controls engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those positions typically involve design, programming, or project management phases where physical presence is not required every day.

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

The most realistic entry path is an associate or bachelor's degree in electrical engineering technology paired with a co-op or internship, since Massachusetts employers like Raytheon Technologies and GE Aerospace run structured early-career programs that place students directly into controls teams. Candidates transitioning from adjacent roles such as electrician, industrial maintenance technician, or automation technician are also competitive. Earning a certification in a major PLC platform and building a small portfolio of ladder logic or HMI projects demonstrably improves your standing with hiring managers screening entry-level applicants.

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

You can find and apply to electrical controls engineer jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your background and target location, and apply directly to each position without needing to go elsewhere.
