According to a ''Control Engineering'' survey, most of the people who answered were control engineers in various forms of their own career. There are not very many careers that are classified as "control engineer", most of them are specific careers that have a small semblance to the overarching career of control engineering. A majority of the control engineers that took the survey in 2019 are system or product designers, or even control or instrument engineers. Most of the jobs involve process engineering or production or even maintenance, they are some variation of control engineering.<ref>{{Cite web |datename=1 May 2019 |title=Career & Salary Report |url=https:"Control"//www.controleng.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/05/Control-Engineering-2019-Career-and-Salary-Study.pdf> |access-date=5 December 2022 |website=Control Engineering}}</ref>
 
Because of this, there are many job opportunities in aerospace companies, manufacturing companies, automobile companies, power companies, chemical companies, petroleum companies, and government agencies. Some places that hire Control Engineers include companies such as Rockwell Automation, NASA, Ford, Phillips 66, [[Eastman Chemical|Eastman]], and Goodrich.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://engineering.case.edu/eecs/node/213|title=Systems & Control Engineering FAQ {{!}} Computer and Data Science/Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering|date=2015-11-20|website=engineering.case.edu|language=en|access-date=2019-10-30}}</ref> Control Engineers can possibly earn $66k annually from Lockheed Martin Corp.
