How Much Does a Computer Engineer Make?

The continued growth of the technology sector may indicate job security
for computer engineering professionals. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) projects a faster-than-average increase in employment for computer
and information technology from 2022-2032.

The potential growth during the same period for computer hardware
engineers is lower but still above average at a 5% projected employment
increase.

The BLS reports computer hardware engineers earn an annual median pay
of $138,080, exceeding the national median for all occupations by about
$90,000. Pay for these positions varies depending on the sector;
individuals working in computer systems design make an median annual
salary of $140,670, while engineers in research and development earn an
median wage of $169,260 per year.
