Electrical Design Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical design engineer in Florida?
You become an electrical design engineer in Florida by earning a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program, then registering as an Engineer Intern through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers after passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. After accumulating required work experience, you sit for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam to earn your Professional Engineer license, which is required to seal drawings on Florida projects.
How much do electrical design engineers make in Florida?
Electrical design engineers in Florida earn a median of about $104,780 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $65,090 for the lowest 10% to over $164,210 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical design engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring electrical design engineers in Florida right now include Northrop Grumman, Brown and Caldwell, and Industrial Electric Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's defense, aerospace, and energy infrastructure sectors mean firms with long-standing state operations are among the most consistent sources of openings.
Which Florida cities have the most electrical design engineer jobs?
Melbourne, Largo, and Miami account for the most electrical design engineer openings in Florida. Orlando and the surrounding Space Coast drive volume through defense contractors and aerospace firms, Tampa's energy and infrastructure sector anchors demand there, and Miami supports a strong commercial construction and building systems engineering market.
Are there remote electrical design engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely analytical fields, since electrical design work often requires coordinating with construction sites and fabrication teams. About 80% of electrical design engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with the most remote-compatible work typically found in early-stage schematic design and drafting rather than field-intensive project phases.
How can I get hired as a electrical design engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for junior electrical engineer or design engineer I roles at Florida's large engineering and construction firms, which regularly hire new graduates alongside their experienced staff. Companies like AECOM, Kimley-Horn, and WSP run established new-graduate programs across their Florida offices. Registering as an Engineer Intern through the Florida Board of Professional Engineers immediately after passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam signals readiness and gives you a competitive edge over candidates without any credential.
