Electrical Design Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical design engineer in Colorado?
A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program is the standard entry point for electrical design engineer roles in Colorado. For positions that carry engineering-of-record responsibility, Colorado licensure through the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies is required, beginning with the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and progressing to the Professional Engineer credential after qualifying experience. Many Colorado employers, particularly in aerospace and utilities, will hire new graduates without a PE and support them through the licensure process on the job.
How much do electrical design engineers make in Colorado?
Electrical design engineers in Colorado earn a median of about $120,760 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $81,720 for the lowest 10% to over $177,310 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical design engineers in Colorado?
Colorado electrical design engineer roles are posted by Jobot, Redwire Space, and Merrick & Company and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Colorado's strong aerospace corridor along the Front Range and its established utility sector mean that both defense contractors and energy companies are among the most consistent sources of openings in the state.
Which Colorado cities have the most electrical design engineer jobs?
Denver, Littleton, and Westminster account for the largest share of electrical design engineer openings in Colorado. Denver drives volume through its concentration of energy companies, engineering consultancies, and corporate headquarters, while Colorado Springs reflects the heavy defense and aerospace presence at nearby military installations, and Fort Collins draws postings from semiconductor, clean energy, and manufacturing employers clustered along the northern Front Range.
Are there remote electrical design engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely analytical fields because electrical design work often involves lab testing, hardware review, and on-site coordination. About 73% of electrical design engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, making full-remote roles the exception rather than the rule. The parts of the role most likely to be done remotely are schematic drafting, design documentation, and code-based simulation work.
How can I get hired as a electrical design engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for junior or associate electrical engineer roles at Colorado's large defense and utility employers, which regularly bring on new graduates through structured rotational or onboarding programs. Xcel Energy and Lockheed Martin, for example, post entry-level engineering positions tied to their Colorado operations. Building a portfolio of senior capstone or personal PCB and controls projects strengthens an application significantly, and sitting for the Fundamentals of Engineering exam early signals commitment to licensure and gives you a concrete credential before your first role.
Where can I find and apply to electrical design engineer jobs in Colorado?
