How old the open roles are, not how many get posted - our board coverage has grown over the last year, so a week-by-week series would measure us rather than the market. Snapshot taken October 2026.

The board carries the 120 most recent of 321 open mechanical engineer roles - the other 201 are in the full member search. 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? 11 of the 121 mechanical engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 20 more are hybrid. The other 200 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.
Posted pay only - no estimates
What 151 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.

1 of the 6 levels on this board sits 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 Mechanical Engineer roles
The mechanical engineer job market currently shows 321 open positions across 61 hiring companies, according to available data. This week alone, 24 new roles have been posted, suggesting ongoing activity in hiring for this role based on current postings. Compensation data drawn from posted listings shows a median salary of $157,500, with a 25th percentile of $130,000 and a 75th percentile of $176,352, indicating a fairly wide spread in pay depending on experience, location, and employer. Among the companies currently listing mechanical engineer openings, Relativity Space, Shield AI, K2 Space, Assembly, and Penn State University appear as top hiring organizations based on available data. The presence of aerospace and defense-oriented companies like Relativity Space, Shield AI, and K2 Space alongside an academic institution such as Penn State University suggests that demand for mechanical engineers spans both private industry and higher education settings, though this observation is based solely on the companies represented in current postings. With 61 distinct companies hiring, the market appears to have a reasonably diverse employer base rather than being concentrated in a small number of organizations. The ratio of open positions to hiring companies, roughly 5 to 1, may indicate that many employers have multiple mechanical engineer roles open simultaneously, based on current postings. Job seekers evaluating this market should consider the salary distribution carefully, as the gap between the 25th and 75th percentiles—over $46,000—implies that factors such as seniority, specialization, or company type likely play a meaningful role in compensation outcomes. Overall, the data points to active hiring activity in the mechanical engineer field, with a steady influx of new postings and a varied set of employers, though broader trends beyond these figures cannot be confirmed from the available statistics.
