Level sets the scope and the pay band; work model decides whether you’re eligible at all. Both are on every card, so you can rule roles out before opening a single description.

Every open design engineer role we track is on this page - nothing is held back behind a sign-up. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 23 of the 59 design engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 8 more are hybrid. The other 25 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 19 of these listings actually printed.
Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

4 of the 6 levels on this board sit out - fewer than 5 of their listings state a range, and a band drawn off two postings reads like the same fact as one drawn off forty.

About Design Engineer roles
The Design Engineer job market currently shows 84 open positions across 66 hiring companies, according to available data. This employer count suggests a reasonably broad base of organizations seeking this role rather than concentrated hiring among just a few firms. Activity also appears ongoing, with 12 new roles posted this week, indicating continued recruiting rather than a static backlog of listings. Compensation data from posted roles shows a median base figure of $185,000, with the middle half of postings ranging from $177,500 at the 25th percentile to $241,250 at the 75th percentile. This spread implies that while many roles cluster near the median, a meaningful share of postings offer substantially higher compensation, likely reflecting differences in seniority, company stage, or location among other factors not captured in this summary. Among companies currently hiring for Design Engineer roles, Ashby, Astranis, Samsara, Skydio, and Monks appear as the top listed employers based on current postings. These companies span a range of sectors, from software tooling to aerospace and robotics, suggesting that Design Engineer skill sets are being sought across varied industries rather than a single niche. Overall, the data points to a market with a moderate number of active openings relative to the number of distinct employers, which may mean individual companies are each hiring for a small number of roles rather than large batches. Job seekers evaluating this market should weigh the salary range alongside the list of hiring companies to understand where opportunities may align with their experience level and industry interest, while recognizing that the figures presented here reflect only currently posted data and may shift as new roles are added or filled.
