Careers

Prepare for in-demand jobs in a growing industry

Our alumni currently work as lead product managers, technical analysts, systems engineers, and more in a variety of companies, from Google, Intel, and Boeing to local startups. Some of our graduates have founded companies themselves! Read more about graduate outcomes from Dartmouth Engineering.

Students gain more than technical skills in our engineering programs. Dartmouth Engineering equips students with “power” skills, like leadership and communication, necessary for success in all types of research or work environments, industry, and organizations. Graduates are well-prepared for high-level research or senior management positions in technology or engineering, and more importantly, are leaders in identifying problems in the world that need human-centered solutions. Our graduates often create their own jobs—and new jobs for others. 

‘C-Suite’ positions
More than 25% of our Dartmouth Engineering alumni advance to “C-Suite” level positions within five to 10 years of graduation, due to the breadth of skills they have gained during their time here.
Graduate outcomes
Nearly 100% of our master’s and PhD graduates secure employment or are enrolled in a doctoral degree program within six months of graduation.
