Electrical Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical engineer in Colorado?
You become a licensed electrical engineer in Colorado by earning a bachelor's degree from an ABET-accredited electrical engineering program, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, accumulating qualifying work experience under a licensed PE, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam. Licensure is administered by the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Professional Engineers, and Professional Land Surveyors. Many Colorado employers in defense, utilities, and construction require or strongly prefer candidates who hold or are actively pursuing PE licensure.
How much do electrical engineers make in Colorado?
Electrical 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 engineers in Colorado?
Companies currently hiring electrical engineers in Colorado include Burns & McDonnell, NEI Electric Power Engineering, and WSP, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's defense and aerospace corridor along the Front Range and its expanding renewable energy sector mean openings are distributed across large prime contractors, utilities, and engineering services firms with sustained local operations.
Which Colorado cities have the most electrical engineer jobs?
Denver, Englewood, and Colorado Springs account for the largest share of electrical engineer openings in Colorado. Denver anchors the market through its concentration of energy companies, infrastructure firms, and corporate engineering offices, while Colorado Springs draws heavily from the defense and military installations along the Front Range, and Boulder's research institutions and tech companies generate consistent demand for systems and embedded engineers.
Are there remote electrical engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields. About 62% of electrical engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on lab, hardware, and site work that much of this role involves. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are systems engineering, power systems analysis, and roles focused on simulation, modeling, or technical documentation.
How can I get hired as a electrical engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate programs at large Colorado employers in defense, utilities, or engineering services, where structured rotational or associate engineer programs provide mentored early-career experience. Xcel Energy, Lockheed Martin, and Jacobs Engineering all recruit new graduates into Colorado engineering roles. Completing an internship at a Front Range aerospace or energy company while in school significantly improves hiring odds. Candidates who have passed the FE exam and built a portfolio of capstone or personal hardware projects stand out in early screening, particularly for embedded and power systems roles.
Where can I find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from Colorado employers. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, specialization, and preferred location within the state, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
