Electrical Engineer Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical engineer in Minnesota?
Becoming a licensed electrical engineer in Minnesota requires earning a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an accredited program, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, accumulating qualifying work experience under a licensed Professional Engineer, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Licensure is granted and overseen by the Minnesota Board of Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture, Geoscience, and Interior Design, commonly called AELSLAGID. Many Minnesota employers require or strongly prefer a PE license for senior and lead engineering roles.
How much do electrical engineers make in Minnesota?
Electrical engineers in Minnesota earn a median of about $109,510 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,750 for the lowest 10% to over $167,030 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical engineers in Minnesota?
Employers hiring electrical engineers in Minnesota right now include Barr Engineering, EVS, and States Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Minnesota's deep concentration of defense contractors, medical device manufacturers, and utility companies means demand for electrical engineers stays active across multiple sectors year-round.
Which Minnesota cities have the most electrical engineer jobs?
Minneapolis, Duluth, and Eden Prairie account for the most electrical engineer openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro dominates because it hosts the state's largest concentration of aerospace, defense, medical device, and utility employers, while Rochester's presence is shaped by large medical and industrial technology operations, and Duluth draws openings tied to energy infrastructure and port-related industrial work.
Are there remote electrical engineer jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, but they're rare. Electrical engineering work is largely hands-on, requiring presence in labs, manufacturing floors, and field sites, so fully remote roles are a small slice of the market. About 63% of electrical engineer openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to cluster in design review, systems architecture, or project management functions where physical presence is less critical.
How can I get hired as a electrical engineer in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to internship or new-graduate rotational programs at Minnesota's major engineering employers, including Honeywell's Minneapolis-area operations, 3M's Maplewood headquarters, and regional utility companies such as Xcel Energy, which runs structured early-career programs. Entry-level roles with titles like electrical design engineer, test engineer, or field service engineer offer a practical door in. Candidates who earn their EIT credential shortly after graduation and can show a project portfolio, even from coursework or personal builds, consistently stand out in Minnesota hiring processes.
Where can I find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings updated regularly. Search the roles available, identify the ones that fit your background and target location, and apply directly to the positions that match.
