Electrical Engineer Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electrical engineer in Oregon?
Becoming a licensed electrical engineer in Oregon requires passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, gaining qualifying work experience under a licensed Professional Engineer, then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam administered through the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying. A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program is the standard entry point. Licensure as a Professional Engineer is required to offer engineering services to the public in Oregon.
How much do electrical engineers make in Oregon?
Electrical engineers in Oregon earn a median of about $125,160 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $83,500 for the lowest 10% to over $166,240 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electrical engineers in Oregon?
Employers hiring electrical engineers in Oregon right now include Lam Research, Intel Corporation, and PAE Consulting Engineers, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Oregon's semiconductor corridor in Washington County and its growing renewable energy sector generate consistent demand from both large corporations and specialized engineering contractors.
Which Oregon cities have the most electrical engineer jobs?
Portland, Tualatin, and Hillsboro have the most electrical engineer openings in Oregon right now. Portland leads because of its dense concentration of utility, manufacturing, and tech employers, while Hillsboro and Beaverton draw heavily from the semiconductor and electronics industries anchored by large fabrication facilities and their supporting supply chains.
Are there remote electrical engineer jobs in Oregon?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely software-focused fields, since much electrical engineering work involves lab testing, site inspections, or hands-on hardware. About 72% of electrical engineer openings tied to Oregon are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with those roles concentrated in design review, system architecture, and project management functions rather than hands-on testing or field work.
How can I get hired as a electrical engineer in Oregon with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an internship or co-op during your final year, which large Oregon employers such as Intel and Portland General Electric run specifically for engineering students and often convert to full-time offers. Entry-level titles like junior electrical engineer, electrical designer, or controls technician are common first roles. A completed FE exam result, a senior capstone project, or any Oregon State University or Portland State University engineering program affiliation strengthens an application from a candidate with limited professional experience.
Where can I find and apply to electrical engineer jobs in Oregon?
