Electrical Design Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical design engineer in Massachusetts?
The core path is a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program, followed by the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn Engineer-in-Training status through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. After gaining supervised work experience, you can pursue full Professional Engineer licensure. Many Massachusetts employers in defense and medical devices also value domain certifications and exposure to regulated design environments from the start.
How much do electrical design engineers make in Massachusetts?
Electrical design 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 design engineers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring electrical design engineers in Massachusetts right now include Raytheon, MURATA POWER SOLUTIONS, and Nanobiosym, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Massachusetts's dense concentration of defense contractors, medical device manufacturers, and power electronics firms means hiring tends to be sustained year-round rather than cyclical.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most electrical design engineer jobs?
Tewksbury, Marlborough, and Westborough have the most electrical design engineer openings in Massachusetts. Boston and its surrounding suburbs like Waltham and Burlington drive the largest share of demand, fueled by the region's defense contractors, MedTech corridors, and semiconductor companies, while smaller cities like Lowell reflect the legacy manufacturing and embedded systems firms anchored there for decades.
Are there remote electrical design engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're relatively limited. About 11% of electrical design engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting that much of the work involves lab access, prototype builds, or regulated hardware environments. The tasks most likely to be done remotely are schematic design, documentation review, and specification writing rather than hands-on build and test work.
How can I get hired as a electrical design engineer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a co-op or new-graduate program at one of Massachusetts's large engineering employers, where Raytheon Technologies, Analog Devices, and GE Vernova run structured rotational programs that onboard candidates with a relevant degree and no commercial experience. Entry-level titles like electrical engineering associate or design engineer I are common starting points, and building a portfolio of senior design projects or SOLIDWORKS Electrical samples gives candidates a concrete edge during screening.
Where can I find and apply to electrical design engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to electrical design engineer jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings updated regularly.
