Radiologic Technologist Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a radiologic technologist in California?
You become a radiologic technologist in California by completing an accredited radiologic technology program, then obtaining a state license through the California Department of Public Health Radiologic Health Branch. California requires you to pass a state-administered examination and hold an active license before performing any diagnostic imaging procedures. Most California employers also expect ARRT certification in radiography. The full path runs from an accredited associate or bachelor's degree program through state licensure before you can legally work in the field.
How much do radiologic technologists make in California?
Radiologic technologists in California earn a median of about $121,260 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $70,210 for the lowest 10% to over $165,460 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire radiologic technologists in California?
Employers hiring radiologic technologists in California right now include Kaiser Permanente, RadNet, and Sutter Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. California's size and density of major hospital systems, regional medical centers, and outpatient imaging chains means consistent demand across both urban and suburban locations throughout the state.
Which California cities have the most radiologic technologist jobs?
San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles have the most radiologic technologist openings in California right now. Los Angeles dominates due to its concentration of large academic medical centers, trauma hospitals, and specialty imaging clinics, while the Bay Area and San Diego draw volume from research hospitals, Kaiser Permanente facilities, and growing outpatient networks that continuously expand imaging capacity.
Are there remote radiologic technologist jobs in California?
Yes, but they're rare. Radiologic technologists operate imaging equipment and position patients in person, making the role fundamentally on-site by nature. About 13% of radiologic technologist openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and the ones that do qualify typically involve teleradiology support, quality assurance review, or training and education roles rather than direct patient imaging.
How can I get hired as a radiologic technologist in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-graduate or limited-permit positions while completing California state licensure. Large California health systems including Cedars-Sinai, Kaiser Permanente, and the UC Health network run structured new-grad programs and imaging residencies that welcome candidates with clinical rotations but no post-graduation experience. Roles like radiology aide or imaging technologist assistant at community hospitals or outpatient imaging centers also offer a transition point. Holding a current California radiologic technology limited permit and ARRT candidacy status gives candidates a meaningful edge over applicants without active credentials.
Where can I find and apply to radiologic technologist jobs in California?
You can find and apply to radiologic technologist jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings from employers actively hiring right now.
