What's the Salary Range for a 3-Year Embedded Systems Engineer in Chennai? Seeking Insights!

Dear all,

We are a German-based software development company in Chennai, specializing in embedded systems and mainframes. I would like to know the salary range for an embedded systems engineer with 3 years of experience and the typical annual salary hike.

I think Dataquest has released a salary survey this month; you may want to check that out. You may not receive the desired response to competitive information in a forum.

Hi Sukanya,

Thank you for the question. Usually, an embedded engineer will be drawing 3.5 to 5.5 L/A, considering the factor that the candidate is from Chennai and has 3+ years of experience. However, we can find the candidate drawing in the range of 2.20 to 3.5 L/A, who has solid 3+ years of experience. When it comes to expectations, he may expect at least a 25% hike as per industry standards. Please let me know if I can help you in any matter.

Feel free to call my cell for any queries regarding this at PH: 09448337619.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sukanya,

I am not aware of embedded system engineer compensation details. However, a normal mainframe professional's salary typically starts as follows (Per Annum CTC):

Exp Level Min Ave Max Designation Level
Entry Level 200000 225000 250000 Fresher - Software Associate
1-2 Exp 300000 335000 400000 Software Associate - Consultant
2-3 Exp 400000 520000 600000 Consultant Level 1-3

It's important to note that the increment or compensation category varies from company to company. Generally, a mainframe professional can expect a minimum of a 20% increment on their CTC.

As mentioned by Rajnish, Dataquest also published an article on compensation. Please let me know if you require any further information about compensation analysis.

Hi Sukanya,

An embedded systems engineer with 3 years of relevant experience could take home anything between 4-6 Lacs and a maximum of 7 Lacs if he has worked on some niche technology. The hike per year is again dependent on a few factors; however, the general trend in Bangalore (guess even elsewhere) has been in the range of 20% - 45%.

Thank you.
