Electronic Engineer Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an electronic engineer in Ohio?
Most electronic engineer positions in Ohio require a bachelor's degree in electrical or electronic engineering from an ABET-accredited program. For roles involving public safety or independent consulting, the Ohio State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors administers the Professional Engineer licensure process, which begins with the Fundamentals of Engineering exam. Many industry roles in defense and manufacturing do not require PE licensure but value it for advancement.
How much do electronic engineers make in Ohio?
Electronic engineers in Ohio earn a median of about $100,620 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $72,690 for the lowest 10% to over $149,390 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electronic engineers in Ohio?
Employers hiring electronic engineers in Ohio right now include Booz Allen Hamilton, Trimble, and Credence, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Ohio's aerospace and defense corridor, particularly around Dayton and the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base area, also supports steady hiring through prime contractors and their regional suppliers.
Which Ohio cities have the most electronic engineer jobs?
Beavercreek, Dayton, and Wpafb have the most electronic engineer openings in Ohio. Columbus draws hiring through its large defense and tech presence, while Dayton's proximity to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base anchors aerospace and systems engineering demand, and Cleveland's industrial and medical device manufacturing base supports a consistent pipeline of openings.
Are there remote electronic engineer jobs in Ohio?
Yes, but they're rare. Electronic engineering work is largely hands-on, requiring lab access, prototype testing, or on-site collaboration with manufacturing teams. About 40% of electronic engineer openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with the remote subset concentrated in roles focused on firmware development, systems architecture, or technical documentation that can be completed off-site.
How can I get hired as an electronic engineer in Ohio with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for junior engineer or engineering associate roles at Ohio's larger defense and manufacturing employers, many of which run structured new-graduate programs. Companies such as Raytheon and Collins Aerospace hire entry-level engineers directly from Ohio's engineering schools and offer rotational or mentored onboarding. Building a portfolio of senior design or capstone projects, pursuing an FE exam result, and targeting co-op alumni networks at programs through Ohio State or Ohio University can meaningfully strengthen a first application.
Where can I find and apply to electronic engineer jobs in Ohio?
You can find and apply to electronic engineer jobs in Ohio on Migrate Mate, which lists current Ohio openings across industries including aerospace, defense, advanced manufacturing, and industrial technology. Find the roles that fit your background and apply directly from each listing.
