Electrical Engineer Jobs in Philadelphia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a electrical engineer job in Philadelphia?
Philadelphia's strongest hiring comes from utilities, defense contractors, transit agencies, and biomedical device manufacturers clustered at the Navy Yard, University City, and the I-95 corridor. Candidates with hands-on power systems, controls, or embedded systems experience stand out locally. Familiarity with SEPTA infrastructure projects or federal defense programs gives an additional edge in this market.
Which companies hire electrical engineers in Philadelphia?
Companies currently hiring electrical engineers in Philadelphia include dbHMS, R&P Technologies, and WSP, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Philadelphia's mix of established utilities, defense primes, hospital systems, and mid-size manufacturing firms creates demand across seniority levels.
Are there remote electrical engineer jobs in Philadelphia?
Yes, though remote opportunities are limited for electrical engineers since most roles require hands-on lab, field, or facilities work. About 100% of electrical engineer openings tied to Philadelphia are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and the roles most likely to offer flexibility are systems design, project management, and specification-writing positions rather than on-site installation or testing roles.
How can I get a electrical engineer job in Philadelphia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Philadelphia is targeting co-op and new-graduate programs at the city's utilities, transit authorities, and biomedical device firms, which regularly hire early-career engineers. Drexel's co-op pipeline and Penn connections feed many local openings. Entry roles in testing, quality assurance, or field support at the Navy Yard or manufacturing corridors are common stepping stones to full engineering positions.
Which industries hire the most electrical engineers in Philadelphia?
The sectors hiring the most electrical engineers in Philadelphia are Construction & Real Estate and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Philadelphia's legacy in energy infrastructure, federal defense contracting at the Navy Yard, and a growing life sciences corridor in University City drive consistent local demand.
