As technologies continue to develop, the need for electrical engineers
should also continue to increase. Those who pursue education in the field can
work in a career where they design and maintain systems that support different
electronics and electrical tools. As an electrical engineer, you have a lot of career
paths available to you and may be able to find work in a variety of industries. In
this article, we share a list of electrical engineering jobs and provide some
guidance on becoming an electrical engineer.
Explore this electrical engineering jobs list to find a subdiscipline in the
field you may be interested in pursuing:
1. Control Engineer
Primary duties:
A control engineer is responsible for developing equipment that is efficient
in creating products. They also plan for maintenance and implement processes
that reveal problems with their systems. Controls engineers research solutions, test
their design and produce efficacy reports that show them how effective their
system is.
2. Project Engineer
Primary duties:
A project engineer oversees and manages engineering projects, which may
include electrical engineering projects. They adhere to a budget and timeline and
may need to hire additional staff, including contract workers, to make sure they
can ensure project completion following certain specifications. Project engineers
monitor the work of each member of the team, encourage everyone involved to
meet deadlines and make sure that the project meets compliance.
3. Test Engineer
Primary duties:
A test engineer is responsible for conducting tests on electrical systems.
They speak with stakeholders to better understand business needs, formulate test
plans and analyze usage cases. Test engineers fix the problems they find or offer
guidance in implementing solutions
4. Design Engineer
Primary duties:
A design engineer uses computer-aided design (CAD) software to develop
systems and new products. They create designs according to provided
specifications, test their designs, document their process and ask for feedback on
the designs. Design engineers may need to create modifications to make sure the
equipment meets requirements.
5. Electrical Engineer
Primary duties:
An electrical engineer is responsible for designing and developing
electrical equipment, which may include manufacturing equipment, navigation
systems, the electrical system in different vehicles and smartphones. They also
test this equipment and provide solutions for any problems they encounter with
the design or functionality.
6. Communication Engineer

Tips for starting a career in electrical engineering
Consider following these tips if you are interested in pursuing a career in
electrical engineering:
 Earn a degree:
While in many positions require a bachelor's level degree or higher, there
are more entry-level positions in electrical engineering, like those that focus on
installation and repair, that you may work if you have an associate's degree. You
may consider taking courses in topics like computer science, aerospace
engineering, robotics, automation, physics and plane geometry. You may be able
to choose classes that are more related to the specific field of electrical
engineering you want to work in.
If you want to have a more advanced career in electrical engineering, a
master's degree program will likely help you qualify for more opportunities in the
field.
 Connect with professionals
You can find networking events, conferences, seminars, webinars and
trainings that focus on the field of electrical engineering. Consider attending to
learn more about the field and get to know professionals who have already made
their career in the industry. These individuals may be able to provide you with
guidance, refer you to a specific job or employer, offer to be your mentor or
simply answer your questions about your potential career path.
Other ways to connect with professionals include joining special interest
groups and reading industry blogs and articles.
 Complete an internship
You can find an internship while you're pursuing a degree or after
graduation. An internship provides you with the opportunity to gain real-world
experience in the field and complete a project that you can showcase on your
resume when you're applying for jobs. Through your work as an intern, you will
also work alongside professionals who can later recommend you to employers
you're applying with.
 Take licensing exam
Beyond your degree, licenses can help you stand out against your
competitors when you're applying for positions in electrical engineering. Consider
completing certification courses and getting your license so you can gain more
knowledge of the field and be able to use it to succeed in your chosen career.
 Build your skill set
To succeed as an electrical engineer, it's helpful to have both hard and soft
skills that you can use in your work. Identify the skills that are best for your
chosen career and find ways that you can build on the level of skill you already
possess. You can work with a team to develop your teamwork skills, ask for
feedback to learn how to be more open to constructive criticism or take courses in
specific tools and programs you know you'll need to use on the job.
