Electrical Engineer Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical engineer in Arizona?
To work as a licensed electrical engineer in Arizona, you must obtain a Professional Engineer license through the Arizona State Board of Technical Registration. The standard path is a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an accredited program, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to become an Engineer in Training, accumulating the required professional experience, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Many Arizona employers hire EITs directly out of school while they complete their licensing hours.
How much do electrical engineers make in Arizona?
Electrical engineers in Arizona earn a median of about $100,550 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $75,560 for the lowest 10% to over $165,510 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical engineers in Arizona?
Employers hiring electrical engineers in Arizona right now include Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Freeport-McMoRan, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Arizona's concentration of defense contractors, semiconductor fabs, and regulated utilities means demand is consistent year-round across a wide range of specializations.
Which Arizona cities have the most electrical engineer jobs?
Phoenix, Tucson, and Tempe have the most electrical engineer openings in Arizona. The Phoenix metro dominates because of its dense cluster of semiconductor manufacturers, defense primes, and major utility providers, while Tucson's strength in defense electronics and optical systems, anchored by large contractors on the city's east side, drives consistent demand there as well.
Are there remote electrical engineer jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Much of the work involves lab testing, site surveys, hardware design validation, or classified facility access, which requires physical presence. About 42% of electrical engineer openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, making fully remote positions the exception rather than the norm. Where remote work does appear, it tends to be in systems engineering, technical proposal writing, or software-defined aspects of embedded design.
How can I get hired as a electrical engineer in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for new-graduate or associate engineer roles at Arizona's large defense contractors and utilities, where structured rotational or mentorship programs exist for candidates coming straight out of school. Raytheon and Arizona Public Service both run programs that bring on junior engineers without prior industry experience. Internships completed during a degree program are the strongest credential, followed by a senior capstone project with a real hardware or systems component. Candidates who have passed the Fundamentals of Engineering exam before applying signal readiness to pursue full licensure and stand out in Arizona's competitive entry-level market.
Where can I find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Arizona employers. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your experience and specialization, and apply directly to each one.
