Electrical engineers design and test electrical systems, circuits, and electronics. Common screening skills include Circuits, Signal processing, PCB, and Testing.
A modeled national band runs about 69.600 €–143.800 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +9% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Italian city.
Milan sits -19% vs the national median; Rome sits -37%. Relocating inside Italy for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.
