Electrical Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a electrical engineer in Massachusetts?

Becoming an electrical engineer in Massachusetts starts with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program. To advance into licensed engineering roles, candidates pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam to earn the Engineer in Training designation, then gain qualifying experience before sitting for the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam administered through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Licensure is required to sign off on certain public and commercial projects, and it strengthens candidacy for senior positions at defense and infrastructure employers.

How much do electrical engineers make in Massachusetts?

Electrical 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 engineers in Massachusetts?

Employers hiring electrical engineers in Massachusetts right now include Raytheon, General Dynamics Mission Systems, and Formlabs, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of defense primes, semiconductor firms, and medical device manufacturers means demand is distributed across established engineering campuses rather than a single dominant sector.

Which Massachusetts cities have the most electrical engineer jobs?

Boston, Marlborough, and Tewksbury have the most electrical engineer openings in Massachusetts. Boston drives volume through its dense cluster of biotech, defense, and energy companies, while Waltham and Lowell are home to major engineering campuses for defense contractors and semiconductor manufacturers whose facility footprints pull consistent hiring into those suburban corridors.

Are there remote electrical engineer jobs in Massachusetts?

Yes, but they're less common than in purely software-focused roles, since much of the work involves lab testing, hardware prototyping, and on-site collaboration with manufacturing teams. About 40% of electrical engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting selective flexibility from employers. The portions of the role most likely to be offered remotely are systems architecture, documentation, and certain firmware or FPGA design tasks where no physical lab access is required.

How can I get hired as a electrical engineer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a co-op or internship during your undergraduate program, since Massachusetts employers including Raytheon Technologies, Analog Devices, and General Dynamics run structured co-op pipelines through partnerships with Northeastern University, WPI, and UMass Amherst. New graduates typically land roles with titles like associate electrical engineer or junior systems engineer. Candidates who hold an EIT designation and can show a hardware or embedded systems portfolio project have a measurable edge in competitive entry-level applicant pools across defense and medical device employers.

Where can I find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Massachusetts?

You can find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to Massachusetts employers. Search the listings, find roles that match your background and specialization, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
