What should you know about role pay against all occupations, by metro?
Ratio = this role's published median divided by the all-occupations median in the same metro, same units, both exact. A ratio above 1.00 means the role's median is higher than the metro's all-occupations median. It makes no cost-of-living claim. Location quotient (LQ) is employment concentration, not a wage index.

What does this ranking mean for your opening?
For a Mold / Die Design Engineer, your search should focus on technical authority over tool geometry and the critical release decisions made before any steel is cut. This is not just about having a title on a resume; it is about design reviews that cover parting lines, release, wear and service access.
Recruiter's read. Qualitative interpretation, not another BLS estimate.
For a Mold / Die Design Engineer, your search should focus on technical authority over tool geometry and the critical release decisions made before any steel is cut. This is not just about having a title on a resume; it is about design reviews that cover parting lines, release, wear and service access. A candidate must show that they can lead these design discussions rather than simply participating in or witnessing production trials. Clarify whether this role holds this design authority before you begin.
The BLS wage figures for Industrial Engineers provide a vast overview that does not distinguish the specialized mold and die design market. Using these broad numbers to guide your search will likely fail to reflect the actual compensation required to attract experienced design talent. For Mold / Die Design Engineer in the United States, releases are separate survey estimates. The May 2025 median is $102,440; the May 2024 median is $101,140. Their arithmetic difference is $1,300. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause.
Qualified individuals in this field are likely currently serving in design groups within process-specific manufacturing environments. To get them to leave, you must show them how your role changes their responsibility for critical tool design decisions. If they feel they are just swapping one role for a nearly identical one, they will not see the value in moving. For Mold / Die Design Engineer in the United States, releases are separate survey estimates. The May 2025 median is $102,440; the May 2024 median is $101,140. Their arithmetic difference is $1,300. They are not the same workers' raises and do not establish a pay trend or its cause.
The interview should center on a past design review covering the full lifecycle of a tool. Ask them to explain the information available to them at that time and the decisions they made themselves versus what a supervisor approved. This reveals their level of real-world judgment and whether they truly own the design process. If a candidate only talks about the projects they were assigned rather than the decisions they owned, they may not be the design leader you need.
Do not rely on wage tables to predict applicant interest. Focus your energy on locating where people with the necessary design authority are currently working and reaching out directly. By defining the scope of their remit, travel and reporting relationships before you even start the interview process, you save time for both parties. This direct approach helps ensure that you attract individuals who can actually deliver the design results you need on the plant floor.
What should you know about questions before using this pay map?
How do I identify a true design engineer?
A true design engineer will be able to discuss tool geometry and release decisions made before steel is cut. If they only discuss participating in production trials, they likely lack the authority you need.
Should I use the provided salary figures to plan my offer?
No, the provided salary figures cover a broad occupation and do not reflect the specialized market for tool designers. Plan your offer based on the expertise you need and current market conditions for that specific role.
What is the best way to handle a counteroffer?
Focus on the change in responsibility you offer. If their current employer offers more money to stay, it indicates your offer did not sufficiently address the lack of design authority in their current role.
What should I test for in the interview?
Test their ability to lead a design review covering parting, wear, and service access. This reveals their judgment and ability to own a project's technical success from the beginning.
