Masters in Electrical Engineering

There is a huge demand for students who have completed their Masters in Electrical Engineering. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average Master of Science in Electrical Engineering salary is $97,970. The same report predicts this profession to grow by 7% by 2026.  
Some of the roles offered to students who study this program are as follows:

1. Software Engineer

A Masters in Electronic Engineering graduate can work as a software engineer in the embedded systems field, robotics or even high power systems too. They can also work as hardware engineers who are behind designing new computers and perform tasks like updating the hardware to work with new software and creating blueprints for new computers. Or they can even take up the role of a computer network architect and design communication networks. The average salary of a software engineer in United States is 103,035 USD per year while it is CA$ 85000 per year in Canada.

2. Design Engineer

Design engineers use their problem-solving skills and technical knowledge to come up with innovative solutions to a range of problems. They are involved in designing a solution from the stage of conceptualization to implementation and management too. They can work in a number of sectors such as software, environment, machinery, components, materials, and vehicles. Many of them have to use CAD, CAM, and CAN systems to design as well as visualize projects. The average salary of a design engineer with an MS in EE, in USA, is 75,827 USD. Design engineers in Canada earn CA$ 72,000 per year while  A$ 86,116 per year in Australia. 

3. Component Design Engineer

These engineers work to design and develop electronic components. They might need to conduct device evaluation, device characterization, plan and organize design projects or the different phases of the design project. Taking care of prototype circuit - right from designing and stimulation to testing - to fall under role. Component design engineers in US annually earn USD $94,541 while in the UK they earn £42,673/yr. 

4. Electrical Engineer

The primary role of an electrical engineer is to design as well as manufacture all kinds of products that provide electricity to the end consumer. They are also responsible for incorporating electrical components in devices that use electricity. Electrical engineers can work in product development industries, system management, consumers’ electronics industry, wireless communication industry, etc.  Electrical Engineers in the United Kingdom earn £34,252 every year and $86,153 per year in the United States. In Australia, electrical engineers, on an average, earn A$90,396 every year. 

5. RF Engineer

RF (Radio Frequency) engineers work with devices that receive and transmit radio waves. These include cellular phones, radios, and wireless equipment. RF engineers find themselves very useful in today’s tech centred society. Since most RF engineers work in public telecommunications company, they need to obtain their State Licence before working as one. In the United States, RF engineers are annually paid $80,405 while they get paid CA$120K every year in Canada. 

The highest earners in this field from the US are concentrated in areas like California, Massachusetts, Alaska, Washington state, and the District of Columbia. Students can choose their city of work wisely and then have an increased scope of growth in the future.
