Questions
How much does Leidos pay for hardware engineering roles?
The median of the 70 posted ranges is $122k a year; the middle half sits between $98k and $151k.
Is this base salary or total compensation?
Base salary as written in the posting. Many US employers post ranges under state pay transparency laws (California, New York, Washington, Colorado and others); equity and bonus are not part of these figures.
Why posted ranges and not self-reported salaries?
A posted range is what the employer commits to for a role it has open today. It is fresher than a survey and cannot be inflated by respondents. Each posting counts once, at the midpoint of its range.
Which level pays most?
Lead roles have the highest median here: $174k a year across 12 postings.
