The role also includes mentoring and strengthening the engineering organization through shared expertise. Compensation depends on location and candidate skills, knowledge, and experience. Current base pay ranges are $209,700–$273,775 in U.S. Zone A, $188,730–$246,398 in Zone B, $174,051–$227,233 in Zone C, and CA$172,800–CA$225,600 in Canada.
