Radiology Technologist Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a radiology technologist in California?
To become a radiology technologist in California, you must earn a California Radiologic Technology certificate issued by the California Department of Public Health's Radiologic Health Branch. This requires completing an accredited radiologic technology program, typically an associate degree, and passing the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists examination. After passing, you apply directly to the state for certification before you may legally practice in California.
How much do radiology technologists make in California?
Radiology 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 radiology technologists in California?
Employers hiring radiology technologists in California right now include Providence, Prime Healthcare Services, and American Traveler, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. California's integrated health systems and large outpatient imaging networks maintain particularly consistent staffing needs across multiple facilities throughout the state.
Which California cities have the most radiology technologist jobs?
Redding, Los Angeles, and Modesto have the most radiology technologist openings in California. Los Angeles dominates by volume given the density of major hospital systems and academic medical centers, while San Francisco and San Diego draw demand from large integrated networks and research hospitals that maintain imaging departments at scale.
Are there remote radiology technologist jobs in California?
Yes, but they're rare. Radiology technologist work is fundamentally hands-on, requiring direct patient contact and operation of imaging equipment on site. About 0% of radiology technologist openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those roles are concentrated in teleradiology quality review or scheduling coordination rather than direct imaging duties.
How can I get hired as a radiology technologist in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly to new-graduate staff technologist openings at California hospital systems such as Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health, and Cedars-Sinai, all of which periodically hire candidates who hold a California Radiologic Technology certificate but have limited post-graduation hours. Completing clinical rotations at a California-based accredited program, adding a CT or fluoroscopy credential, and applying for imaging assistant or radiology aide roles first are practical ways to build the qualifying experience employers require.
Where can I find and apply to radiology technologist jobs in California?
You can find and apply to radiology technologist jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings from employers across the state. Find the roles that fit your credentials and experience and apply directly to the ones that match.
