The board carries the 120 most recent of 210 open mechanical engineer roles - the other 90 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 42 mechanical engineer listings that publish a work model came back remote-first. The other 168 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

What 115 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.
