Senior Electronics Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a senior electronics engineer in Massachusetts?
The path to a senior electronics engineer role in Massachusetts typically starts with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from an ABET-accredited program, followed by progressive hardware design experience. Massachusetts does not require a state-issued Professional Engineer license for most private-sector electronics roles, but earning your PE through the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors strengthens candidacy for defense and government contract work. Most employers expect demonstrated leadership on hardware programs and deep domain expertise in areas like RF, embedded systems, or analog design.
How much do senior electronics engineers make in Massachusetts?
Senior electronics engineers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $138,230 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $95,090 for the lowest 10% to over $215,290 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire senior electronics engineers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring senior electronics engineers in Massachusetts right now include Raytheon, Schneider Electric, and Draper, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of defense primes, medical device manufacturers, and semiconductor firms means hiring is spread across Greater Boston, the Route 128 corridor, and the Merrimack Valley.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most senior electronics engineer jobs?
The cities with the most senior electronics engineer openings in Massachusetts are Boston, Devens, and Andover. Boston and Cambridge anchor demand through their density of defense contractors, biotech hardware firms, and research institutions, while Lowell and the surrounding Merrimack Valley corridor draw hiring from semiconductor and industrial electronics companies that have operated in the region for decades.
Are there remote senior electronics engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. Hardware-focused senior electronics engineer roles require physical access to labs, test equipment, and prototype assemblies, which limits full-remote arrangements significantly. About 0% of senior electronics engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those that are tend to involve architecture review, design oversight, or systems integration work rather than hands-on bench development.
How can I get hired as a senior electronics engineer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an associate or junior hardware engineer role at one of Massachusetts's large defense or medical device employers, where structured new-graduate programs provide mentored project experience. Companies like Raytheon Technologies and Analog Devices run rotational or early-career programs that move engineers onto hardware teams. A lateral move from a technician or test engineer role is also common in Massachusetts's contract electronics and defense manufacturing sectors. Building a portfolio of PCB layout or embedded hardware projects and pursuing your FE exam through the Massachusetts Board of Registration strengthens any application.
