Mechanical Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a mechanical engineer in Massachusetts?
Most mechanical engineer roles in Massachusetts require at minimum a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from an accredited program. For roles in public infrastructure, consulting, or government contracting, licensure as a Professional Engineer through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Professional Engineers strengthens your candidacy significantly. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam followed by the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam is the standard path to PE licensure in Massachusetts.
How much do mechanical engineers make in Massachusetts?
Mechanical engineers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $119,300 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $79,570 for the lowest 10% to over $166,480 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire mechanical engineers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring mechanical engineers in Massachusetts right now include Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Amazon, and Applied Materials, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of defense contractors, medical device manufacturers, and robotics firms means mechanical engineers here often work on technically advanced, regulated products rather than general industrial machinery.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most mechanical engineer jobs?
The cities with the most mechanical engineer openings in Massachusetts are Boston, Devens, and Burlington. Greater Boston and the Route 128 technology corridor account for the bulk of openings because of the dense cluster of defense, aerospace, and medical device headquarters there, while Worcester draws hiring from advanced manufacturing and medical technology employers with large facilities in central Massachusetts.
Are there remote mechanical engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. About 43% of mechanical engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is lower than most professional roles because mechanical engineering work frequently requires hands-on lab access, prototype testing, or on-site collaboration with manufacturing teams. The portions most likely to go remote are analysis-heavy tasks such as finite element modeling, simulation work, and technical documentation review.
How can I get hired as a mechanical engineer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a co-op or internship, which Massachusetts engineering programs at institutions like Northeastern, WPI, and UMass Amherst structure directly into their curricula and which large Massachusetts employers actively use as a pipeline for full-time hires. Entry-level roles titled associate mechanical engineer, junior design engineer, or mechanical engineering technician are the most accessible starting points. Completing your Fundamentals of Engineering exam and building a portfolio of CAD projects or capstone work gives candidates a concrete edge in competitive applicant pools.
Where can I find and apply to mechanical engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to mechanical engineer jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current Massachusetts openings across industries including defense, medical devices, and advanced manufacturing. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly from the listings.
