For roles involving public safety infrastructure or licensed engineering sign-offs, candidates pursue licensure as a Professional Engineer through the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. Many defense and federal contracting roles also expect candidates to obtain or maintain a security clearance, which employers typically sponsor after hire.
How much do electronic engineers make in Virginia?
Electronic engineers in Virginia earn a median of about $119,030 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $80,320 for the lowest 10% to over $173,400 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire electronic engineers in Virginia?
Virginia electronic engineer roles are posted by Leidos, SRC, and Diversified and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Northern Virginia's dense concentration of federal agencies and prime contractors makes it one of the most active hiring environments in the country for engineers with defense or systems backgrounds.
Which Virginia cities have the most electronic engineer jobs?
Sterling, Charlottesville, and Norfolk have the most electronic engineer openings in Virginia right now. Northern Virginia leads because of its proximity to the Pentagon and federal agencies, which anchor a large ecosystem of prime and subcontractors, while Hampton Roads is driven by Naval Station Norfolk and its surrounding defense industrial base, and Richmond draws roles from utility, telecommunications, and government IT employers.
