Who's Hiring
What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in remote electrical and automation engineer jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, controls engineering, or a closely related field
- Hands-on experience programming PLCs such as Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or Beckhoff
- Proficiency with SCADA systems, HMI development, and industrial networking protocols
- Familiarity with electrical schematics, panel design, and NEC code compliance
- Experience with robotics integration, motion control, or servo drive configuration
- Professional Engineer license or progress toward PE certification preferred for senior roles
Tips for Your Remote Electrical and Automation Engineer Job Search
Document your automation projects in writing
Remote employers can't watch you work, so your written project documentation is your proof of competence. For each project, write up the problem, the control logic you chose, the tools you used, and the outcome. Clear documentation signals you can collaborate across time zones without hand-holding.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote electrical and automation engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your experience and apply directly without sorting through location-filtered results on general job boards.
Show async communication skills up front
Remote engineering teams rely on written updates, shared schematics, and ticket-based communication instead of quick hallway conversations. Mention specific tools you've used for async collaboration, such as markup-based design reviews or structured change logs, directly in your application materials.
Target remote-first industrial tech companies
Companies built around distributed teams handle remote electrical and automation engineers more smoothly than those converting office roles. Look for firms whose engineering work centers on software-defined automation, remote commissioning support, or multi-site energy systems, where the work structure is already built for location-independent engineers.
Remote Electrical and Automation Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote electrical and automation engineer job?
Target companies with distributed engineering teams, particularly remote-first industrial technology firms, automation software providers, and energy companies with multi-site operations that have no single headquarters to anchor engineers. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear written communication for async collaboration, and hands-on proficiency with tools like PLC programming, SCADA systems, and electrical design software. A portfolio of completed automation projects, documented entirely in writing, gives you a strong edge.
Which companies hire remote electrical and automation engineers?
Companies hiring remote electrical and automation engineers right now include Baxter & Woodman, Brock Solutions, and FormFactor, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first industrial technology firms, distributed automation integrators, and energy companies that manage engineering work across multiple facilities without requiring engineers on a single site.
Can you get a remote electrical and automation engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level roles are harder to land because employers expect you to troubleshoot and make decisions independently without an on-site team nearby. Your best path is building a portfolio of personal or academic automation projects, contributing to open-source PLC or controls repositories, and targeting smaller remote-first industrial tech startups that hire junior engineers with demonstrated self-sufficiency over formal credentials.
Do you need a degree for remote electrical and automation engineer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrated skills in PLC programming, electrical design, SCADA configuration, and control systems over a formal degree, particularly at companies where output and documentation quality are easier to verify remotely than credentials. A strong project portfolio, relevant certifications such as a licensed professional engineer credential, and clear examples of completed automation work can substitute for or supplement a traditional degree.
