Electrical Engineer Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical engineer in Florida?
To practice as a licensed electrical engineer in Florida, you must earn a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an accredited program, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, gain qualifying work experience, and pass the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam administered by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers. The board oversees licensure, and a Professional Engineer designation is required to sign and seal engineering documents for public projects in the state.
How much do electrical engineers make in Florida?
Electrical 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 engineers in Florida?
Employers hiring electrical engineers in Florida right now include Northrop Grumman, Kimley-Horn, and Lockheed Martin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's concentration of aerospace contractors, investor-owned utilities, and defense systems integrators means steady demand across both large prime contractors and regional engineering firms throughout the state.
Which Florida cities have the most electrical engineer jobs?
The Florida cities with the most electrical engineer openings are Orlando, Tampa, and Melbourne. Orlando draws heavy hiring from aerospace and defense contractors clustered around the Space Coast corridor, Tampa supports demand through utility and infrastructure projects, and Miami generates openings in commercial construction, telecommunications, and power distribution serving one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country.
Are there remote electrical engineer jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're rare. Electrical engineering is largely hands-on work tied to physical systems, facilities, and job sites, which limits full remote arrangements. About 30% of electrical engineer openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those tend to be concentrated in design review, simulation, standards compliance, and systems engineering roles where the core work is document and software driven rather than field based.
How can I get hired as a electrical engineer in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a structured new-graduate or co-op program at one of Florida's large defense or utility employers, where firms such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Florida Power and Light regularly onboard junior engineers. Applying for field engineer associate, electrical designer, or engineering technician roles at regional engineering and construction firms is another practical route. Earning the Fundamentals of Engineering credential early and building a project portfolio through academic capstone work or IEEE student chapter involvement strengthens any application significantly.
Where can I find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your experience and location, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
