Electronic Engineer Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a electronic engineer in Colorado?
Becoming an electronic engineer in Colorado starts with a bachelor's degree in electrical or electronic engineering from an ABET-accredited institution. While a license is not required for private-sector roles, engineers who sign off on public projects must obtain a Professional Engineer license through the Colorado State Board of Licensure for Architects, Engineers, and Land Surveyors, which involves passing the FE and PE exams. Defense roles often require a security clearance.
How much do electronic engineers make in Colorado?
Electronic engineers in Colorado earn a median of about $120,760 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $81,720 for the lowest 10% to over $177,310 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electronic engineers in Colorado?
Employers hiring electronic engineers in Colorado right now include Advanced Energy Industries, Northrop Grumman, and Jobot, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's concentration of defense primes, aerospace manufacturers, and satellite technology firms means demand is broad and relatively stable across economic cycles.
Which Colorado cities have the most electronic engineer jobs?
Fort Collins, Aurora, and Littleton have the most electronic engineer openings in Colorado. Denver anchors the market as the state's largest metro with a diverse technology and defense base, Colorado Springs draws volume from its dense cluster of military installations and defense contractors, and Boulder's established aerospace and research corridor, including Ball Aerospace and University of Colorado-affiliated spinoffs, sustains consistent hiring.
Are there remote electronic engineer jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely software-focused fields because electronic engineering frequently involves hands-on lab work, hardware testing, and classified facility access. About 50% of electronic engineer openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with remote work most available for design-stage tasks such as schematic review, simulation, and technical documentation rather than prototype assembly or on-site systems integration.
How can I get hired as a electronic engineer in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to co-op and internship programs run by Colorado's large defense and aerospace employers, including Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, which convert a meaningful share of interns to full-time hires. New graduates can also target associate or junior engineer roles at Colorado's mid-size RF and embedded-systems firms in the Denver-Boulder corridor. Earning an FE exam certification and building a portfolio of FPGA or PCB design projects gives candidates a measurable edge over applicants without work history.
Where can I find and apply to electronic engineer jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to electronic engineer jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings across defense, aerospace, telecommunications, and embedded systems. Find roles that fit your experience and apply directly from the listings on this page.
