Memphis has the deepest pool (52 openings), followed by Knoxville (44) and Chattanooga (34). Of postings that specify a schedule, 98% are full-time. 7 listings are remote-eligible — a small slice (2%) of the market.

Posted pay in Tennessee runs below the national mix for engineering work: 34% of salaried postings here advertise $100K or more, versus 76% nationwide. The median posted salary is about $87,000 here, compared with roughly $133,000 across all states.

For context beyond current listings: the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the average annual wage for architecture and engineering occupations in Tennessee at $94,000 (median $86,000) as of May 2025. Posted salaries on new openings here are broadly in line with that benchmark. Source: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics.
