What our data shows for Manufacturing Engineers

RoleHue publishes 64 salary records for Manufacturing Engineers, across 4 cities. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $123,401 at the 25th percentile to $166,323 at the 75th, a spread of $42,922 around $146,929. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $146,929 figure rather than in dollars (29% of it), that spread is mid-pack among the roles we cover.

Sunnyvale, CA carries the highest median we hold for the role at $164,000; Austin, TX the lowest at $134,000, a gap of $30,000. The middle half of those city medians, weighted by how many records each city contributes, spans $14,677, narrower than the $42,922 band within cities: for Manufacturing Engineers, where a record sits within its own metro separates our numbers more than which metro it came from.

No single metro carries most of this: the largest share is Fremont, CA, with 21 of the 64 records we publish for this role (33%). No city here reaches 25 records, the depth we treat as our threshold for calling a city median well evidenced, so every city median on this page rests on fewer records than that.
