Electronic Engineer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an electronic engineer in Texas?
The standard path begins with a bachelor's degree in electrical or electronic engineering from an accredited program, which qualifies you for most industry roles without a mandatory state license. Engineers who sign off on public-facing designs must obtain a Professional Engineer license through the Texas Board of Professional Engineers, which requires passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, gaining supervised experience, and then passing the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam. Many Texas employers in defense and semiconductors hire without a PE license for non-stamping roles.
How much do electronic engineers make in Texas?
Electronic engineers in Texas earn a median of about $129,450 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $76,120 for the lowest 10% to over $210,160 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electronic engineers in Texas?
Employers hiring electronic engineers in Texas right now include Amentum, Johnson Controls, and Mclaurin Aerospace, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of defense contractors, semiconductor firms, and energy technology companies means hiring tends to be consistent year-round rather than tied to a single seasonal cycle.
Which Texas cities have the most electronic engineer jobs?
Houston, Texas, and Abilene lead Texas for electronic engineer openings. Dallas-Fort Worth draws the most volume through its dense cluster of defense contractors and semiconductor companies, Austin's tech and chip-design sector drives strong demand there, and Houston's energy and aerospace industries sustain a steady pipeline of embedded systems and power electronics roles.
Are there remote electronic engineer jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely software-focused fields because electronic engineering typically involves lab work, hardware testing, and prototype builds that require physical presence. About 20% of electronic engineer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with remote arrangements most often found in firmware development, systems architecture, and design review roles that don't require hands-on hardware access.
How can I get hired as an electronic engineer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate or associate engineer programs at large Texas defense and semiconductor employers, which regularly onboard candidates directly from university. Texas Instruments, Raytheon, and L3Harris all run structured early-career programs out of their Texas facilities. Candidates who have completed relevant internships, senior capstone projects, or hold an Engineer-in-Training certification from the Texas Board of Professional Engineers stand out against other new graduates. Adjacent roles such as electronics technician or test engineer are also common first steps into a full engineering career in Texas.
Where can I find and apply to electronic engineer jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to electronic engineer jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings across defense, semiconductors, energy, and telecommunications. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to the employer through each listing.
