Resources

These are the repositories and lists this site leans on. Each one is free, and none of them pays eeprep. A list finds the role, and you apply on the employer's page.

From a list to an application

Four steps in order. Find it on a list, a curated repo or a daily list. Open the employer's page to check that the role is still open and read the real text. Ask for a referral from someone inside before you apply. Apply at the source, on the company site, within two weeks.

1. Find it on a list

   A curated repo or a daily list.

2. Open the employer's page

   Check that the role is still open and read the real text.

3. Ask for a referral

   Someone inside, before you apply.

4. Apply at the source

   On the company site, within two weeks.

A list is for finding. The employer's page is for applying. The Getting hired page has the referral script and the two-week rule.

Job lists on GitHub

• SimplifyJobs's internship list (opens in a new tab) is updated daily by Simplify and Pitt CSC. On November 9, 2026, it held 1,612 roles, 282 of them hardware. Closed roles get a lock and move to an inactive page.
• SimplifyJobs's new-grad list (opens in a new tab) is the same format for full-time roles. It held 601 roles that day, 119 of them hardware. The job boards page says how these lists get their data.

Resumes

• The r/EngineeringResumes wiki (opens in a new tab) is the source for the rules on the resume page. Read the whole thing once.
• Its template page (opens in a new tab) has a Google Docs template and a LaTeX one.
• resume-generator (opens in a new tab) turns one JSON file into a one-page PDF with the layout from the resume page. The walkthrough page shows the five example files it ships with.
• Georgia Tech's 2026 cover letter guide (opens in a new tab) explains when to send a cover letter and how to write one, with undergraduate examples.

Courses and references

• MIT OpenCourseWare (opens in a new tab) publishes materials from more than 2,500 courses. The section on taking free courses on the forever learning page names the three that cover the core of an EE degree.
• NCEES (opens in a new tab) has the FE and PE exam rules. The section on the FE exam and the PE license on the forever learning page has the path.
• O*NET's electrical engineering page (opens in a new tab) lists the titles employers use. Search postings by those titles, not by "electrical engineer".

Pay

• The Bureau of Labor Statistics page on electrical and electronics engineers (opens in a new tab) has the federal numbers. It lists median pay, the bottom and top 10 percent, pay by industry, and projected job growth. The figures cover every career stage, so do not expect the median in an entry-level offer.
• Levels.fyi (opens in a new tab) shows pay by company, level, and location. Use it to compare an offer with what others at the same company and level reported. Most of the data is self-reported, and many entries are software roles. Treat the numbers as ranges, and trust them less for small firms with few submissions.
• NACE's compensation page (opens in a new tab) has free yearly summaries of its surveys on new-graduate starting salaries and intern hourly pay. NACE groups data by broad discipline, so its engineering numbers include mechanical and civil as well as electrical. The free summaries are enough. Skip the paid member reports.

Company lists

The company list page is a searchable list of companies by region, built from company-lists (opens in a new tab). It covers Denver and Boulder (Colorado), Austin and Houston (Texas), Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area (California), and Northern Virginia. Every row in the source links the public page it came from. Use it to start your own list, then check each company's career page and note the date you checked.
