Embedded Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a embedded in Florida?

Most embedded roles in Florida require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science, with no state-issued license specific to the discipline. Florida employers, especially in aerospace and defense, prioritize hands-on firmware or hardware experience, often gained through internships, university lab projects, or contributions to open-source embedded projects. Candidates targeting defense contractors on the Space Coast should also begin the process for a security clearance, which many Florida positions require or strongly prefer.

Which companies hire embeddeds in Florida?

Employers hiring embeddeds in Florida right now include Northrop Grumman, Leonardo DRS, and Lockheed Martin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's concentration of aerospace, defense, and medical device companies means embedded openings here tend to require domain-specific experience in areas like flight systems, radar hardware, or FDA-regulated firmware.

Which Florida cities have the most embedded jobs?

Melbourne, Largo, and Orlando have the most embedded job openings in Florida. Orlando and the Space Coast draw the bulk of demand from aerospace and defense primes like Lockheed Martin and L3Harris, Tampa's growing tech and defense ecosystem adds a significant share, and smaller hubs reflect the presence of medical device firms, automotive electronics suppliers, and defense subcontractors operating throughout the state.

Are there remote embedded jobs in Florida?

Yes, but they're rare. Embedded work is inherently hands-on, involving physical hardware bring-up, lab debugging, and prototype testing that generally requires an on-site presence. About 18% of embedded openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the field's overall on-site nature. The positions most likely to allow partial remote work are those focused on firmware architecture, code review, or simulation-heavy design rather than direct hardware integration.

How can I get hired as a embedded in Florida with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is through an internship or co-op with a Florida aerospace or defense firm, many of which run structured programs for students and recent graduates from Florida universities including the University of Florida, Florida Tech, and UCF. Entry-level titles to target include firmware engineer associate, hardware test technician, and junior systems engineer. Building a portfolio of documented microcontroller projects and earning a certification such as the Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer strengthens early applications considerably.

Where can I find and apply to embedded jobs in Florida?
