Agreed... this is very low! Especially for a high-income city like San Diego. Our entry-level Design Engineers start at $36-$47+/hour + a $2,500 sign-on bonus. If you are interested in moving up north, check out our open positions in Roseville, CA & Seattle, WA. Might be a good fit with your experience in residential.

I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?
