Electrical Engineer Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a electrical engineer in Pennsylvania?

Becoming a licensed electrical engineer in Pennsylvania requires passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam after earning a bachelor's degree from an accredited program, accumulating four years of progressive engineering experience, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam administered by the Pennsylvania State Registration Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists. Licensure as a Professional Engineer is required to offer engineering services to the public and is expected for senior roles at many Pennsylvania employers.

How much do electrical engineers make in Pennsylvania?

Electrical engineers in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $110,820 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,650 for the lowest 10% to over $167,260 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire electrical engineers in Pennsylvania?

Employers hiring electrical engineers in Pennsylvania right now include Constellation Energy, Naval Nuclear Laboratory, and Eaton, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Pennsylvania's concentration of defense contractors, utility companies, and advanced manufacturers means electrical engineering demand is spread across both the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metro areas as well as mid-state industrial corridors.

Which Pennsylvania cities have the most electrical engineer jobs?

Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Canonsburg have the most electrical engineer openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its density of defense contractors, utilities, and infrastructure firms, Pittsburgh draws heavily from energy, robotics, and advanced manufacturing employers, and Allentown reflects the strong industrial and power systems sector anchored in the Lehigh Valley region.

Are there remote electrical engineer jobs in Pennsylvania?

Yes, but they're rare. Much of electrical engineering involves hands-on lab work, site visits, or hardware testing that requires physical presence. About 37% of electrical engineer openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in design review, systems engineering, and project management functions where lab access is less critical.

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

The most realistic entry path is a co-op or internship during your degree, as Pennsylvania employers like Lockheed Martin, Siemens, and PECO Energy run structured programs that regularly convert participants into full-time hires. New graduates should target associate or engineer-in-training titles at utility companies and defense primes, where mentorship under licensed Professional Engineers is built into the role. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam early and building a project portfolio from coursework or lab experience gives candidates a concrete edge in competitive applicant pools.

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