Manufacturing Engineer Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a manufacturing engineer in Pennsylvania?
Most manufacturing engineers in Pennsylvania enter the field with a bachelor's degree in mechanical, industrial, or manufacturing engineering from an ABET-accredited program. Pennsylvania does not require a state license to work as a manufacturing engineer in industry, but engineers who sign off on public-facing designs may pursue licensure through the Pennsylvania State Registration Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists. Certifications in lean manufacturing or Six Sigma strengthen competitiveness in the Pennsylvania market.
How much do manufacturing engineers make in Pennsylvania?
Manufacturing engineers in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $99,560 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $69,700 for the lowest 10% to over $143,210 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire manufacturing engineers in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring manufacturing engineers in Pennsylvania right now include Lockheed Martin, Molex, and Globus Medical, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Pennsylvania's mix of aerospace suppliers, specialty materials producers, and industrial equipment manufacturers means hiring activity is distributed across both the Philadelphia suburbs and the Pittsburgh corridor.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most manufacturing engineer jobs?
Erie, York, and Archbald have the most manufacturing engineer openings in Pennsylvania right now. Philadelphia and its suburbs lead because of the concentration of pharmaceutical, defense, and specialty chemicals manufacturers there, while Pittsburgh draws from its legacy in advanced materials and robotics, and the Lehigh Valley supports a dense cluster of logistics, packaging, and industrial equipment companies.
Are there remote manufacturing engineer jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. Manufacturing engineering is fundamentally a hands-on, plant-floor role, so most positions require on-site presence to work with equipment, tooling, and production teams. About 17% of manufacturing engineer openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to concentrate in project engineering, process documentation, or supplier quality functions that can be performed off-site.
How can I get hired as a manufacturing engineer in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a co-op or internship completed during an engineering degree at a Pennsylvania university, since large in-state manufacturers like Siemens and Air Products actively recruit from programs at Penn State, Drexel, and Lehigh. Graduates without prior experience should target associate manufacturing engineer or process engineer titles, or consider lateral entry from quality technician or production supervisor roles. Earning a Fundamentals of Engineering credential through the Pennsylvania State Registration Board adds a competitive edge on applications.
Where can I find and apply to manufacturing engineer jobs in Pennsylvania?
