I'm an electronics manufacturing engineer in the U.S. I make good money, but far from what top paid engineers get. I get more than most in my position, though. If it were not so cheap to send electronics offshore, I would make far more money. Because offshore is so cheap, what is built in the U.S. has to be low priced to compete. It can't be low priced if I'm the engineer assigned and my cost to the company is $300/hour. Even if my cost to the company is $50/hour, it's still not cheap to hire me compared to an offshore engineer. There would be no $40 DVD players if they were built in the US! It's pretty simple to determine the highest paid engineers: First, what do we pay most for? Or what cost the most? Those engineers who design and work on high cost projects are paid the most. It's not much different than a cook at a fast food restaurant compared to a 5 star restaurant. What products cost the most? Pharmaceuticals/chemical, petroleum/energy. Those are the fields paying well. As far as the highest paid engineer? Well, while it is field related, it is not so simple. The architect designing a single family home is not going to be in the same range as the one designing a sky-scraper. The engineers in charge of sending up billion dollar satellites are certainly well paid, but how many positions are available in such a field? So, the question needs to be narrowed down a bit. Which engineer makes the most money, more specifically, which field and finally, which specialty?
