450+ Engineering & Science Jobs in New York, NY

Observed local posting ranges center on about $140k to $195k, with a broader 25th-75th band of about $100k to $250k. That sits above the mean offered salary on new engineering & scientific openings in New York of about $113,409 (n=1,685), which is a state-level average across new openings rather than a metro posted-salary median. Proxy occupation snapshots also show uneven subrole pay, with mechanical engineers at about $109,990 median and chemical engineers at about $126,830 median in the metro using May 2025 OEWS-based analyses.

What our analysts see this month

Competitive market | next 3-6 months

This is a competitive but good market over the next 3-6 months if you already have relevant experience. Metro unemployment was 4.4% in July 2026, while statewide engineering & scientific employment is up 3.7% and active postings are up 17.2% year over year; the local sample also still shows more than 2,500 postings across more than 1,100 companies over the last 90 days. The catch is selectivity: about 70% of sampled roles are senior or lead+, only about 5% are entry level, and about 95% are on-site or hybrid.

Best positioned: Senior systems, infrastructure, architecture, and technical-delivery candidates who can pair Python with cloud or design tools such as AWS, AutoCAD, or Revit have the best odds right now.

Main caution: Do not assume the metro's size means flexibility: only about 5% of postings that state a sponsorship policy mention visa sponsorship, and only about 5% are fully remote.

Where the demand is

Real opportunity is clustered, not evenly spread across all engineering and scientific subfields. In the local posting mix, software development accounts for about 20%, technology about 15%, financial services about 15%, architecture and planning about 15%, and information technology about 10%. That lines up with a metro economy where professional and business services employment reached 1,655.1 thousand in June 2026 and grew 1.3285% year over year, giving technical services, design, and systems-facing work a healthier base than many people assume. The employer base is broad rather than dominated by one giant: we observed more than 2,500 postings across more than 1,100 companies over the last 90 days, and hiring in the sample is fragmented even though Archinect, Amazon, and Deloitte were among the most active named employers. The weaker pocket is manufacturing and other plant-linked tracks, since metro manufacturing employment was 321.2 thousand in June 2026 and down 2.5485% year over year, while New York State also flagged construction-related softness in July 2026. That means the best odds right now are in firms that sell technical services, run large internal platforms, or are using engineering talent to modernize operations—not in a blind sweep across every traditional engineering title.

• Architecture, planning, and BIM delivery (high): Local demand includes architecture and planning at about 15% of the posting mix, with AutoCAD and Revit both among the most common hard skills, and Archinect is one of the most active named employers.
• Systems, cloud, and reliability engineering (high): Python, AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and Azure all appear in local skill demand, while recent startup commentary points to distributed systems, data pipelines, reliability, AI infrastructure, security, and evaluation work.
• Financial-services technical platforms (moderate): Financial services make up about 15% of the local posting mix, which matters in this metro because banks, insurers, and market infrastructure firms hire engineers for internal systems even when consumer tech is selective.
• Manufacturing and plant-linked engineering (limited): This track is still viable, but metro manufacturing employment was down 2.5485% year over year in June 2026, so plant-heavy searches are narrower than service-side or digital-platform searches.

Where to focus: Focus first on senior systems or infrastructure roles and architecture or BIM-heavy openings inside professional services, financial platforms, and funded startups.

Roles worth searching next

• Technical Program Manager: A strong fit for engineers who already coordinate stakeholders, vendors, timelines, and delivery risk.
• Platform or Site Reliability Engineer: A practical pivot for systems, scientific-computing, and automation-heavy candidates who already work with infrastructure and reliability problems.
• Technical Product Manager: Good for candidates who can translate technical constraints into business priorities and customer-facing decisions.
• Supply Chain Systems Analyst: A workable bridge for industrial, mechanical, operations, and process-focused candidates.

What postings ask for

• Python (table_stakes | immediate): Python appears in about 20% of local postings and is the clearest shared language across modeling, automation, scientific scripting, and platform engineering. Who: Almost everyone except purely field-only candidates.
• AutoCAD (table_stakes | immediate): AutoCAD shows up in about 15% of local postings and is one of the clearest signals for architecture, planning, and infrastructure-adjacent roles in this market. Who: Civil, architecture, facilities, and construction-adjacent candidates.
• Revit / BIM workflow (differentiator | near-term): Revit appears in about 10% of local postings, and BIM-related skills are increasingly tied to civil-engineering modernization, digital twins, and green-building work. Who: Candidates aiming at architecture firms, building systems, and infrastructure delivery teams.
• AWS + Kubernetes / CI/CD (premium | immediate): AWS appears in about 10% of local postings, while Kubernetes and CI/CD each show up in about 5%, matching local demand for distributed systems, reliability, and infrastructure-heavy engineering roles. Who: Systems engineers, scientific-computing candidates, and career switchers from IT or operations.
• Project management / PMP (differentiator | near-term): Project management appears in about 10% of local postings, and PMP remains one of the better-known engineering-adjacent credentials in 2026. Who: Mid-career engineers moving toward lead, delivery, or client-facing roles.
• AI literacy + workflow automation + machine learning (premium | immediate): More than one-third of entry-level jobs now require some AI competency, mentions of AI in job listings have increased over 600% over the last three years, and machine learning remains the most-requested AI skill in job ads. Who: Any candidate who wants to look current without moving into data-science titles.

Questions about this market

What do Engineering & Scientific roles pay in New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ?

Observed local posting ranges center on about $140k to $195k, with a broader 25th-75th band of about $100k to $250k.

Proxy occupation snapshots also show uneven subrole pay, with mechanical engineers at about $109,990 median and chemical engineers at about $126,830 median in the metro using May 2025 OEWS-based analyses. NYC pays up, but much of the premium is a cost adjustment. The metro's average hourly wage across all occupations was $41.50 versus $33.54 nationally in May 2025, while local CPI rose 3.4% over the year ending December 2025 and the metro cost-of-living index sat around 112-113 relative to the U.S. average of 100.
