Mechanical Engineer jobs

Right now there are 1,000 mechanical engineer openings on our board, and 182 of them arrived in the last seven days. 61 of them are fully remote (remote mechanical engineer jobs). The board refreshes every night, so the count moves with the market.

317 of the 1,000 openings state a salary. Across those, the middle half of posted pay runs from $98k to $155k a year. We only count postings that state pay, so this is what employers are advertising today, not an estimate. For the fuller picture by seniority and market, see the mechanical engineer salary page.

The three skills mechanical engineer postings name most often are Mechanical CAD (29% of postings), FEA / Simulation (25%) and Prototyping (22%). Those percentages are simply how many of the postings we read mention each one, so you can see which are near-universal and which are nice to have. Every skill, defined: the glossary.

Yes, and we can tell you from where. 3 measured routes lead into mechanical engineer work. The closest is from industrial engineer: a typical industrial engineer profile already covers 53% of what mechanical engineer postings ask for, and the route page lists the exact skills that make up the rest.
