Average Salary: $142,677

Switzerland’s status as the highest paying country for automotive engineers can be attributed to several factors. With over 6.3 million registered vehicles in 2021 and a significant portion of the working population engaged in the automotive industry, there’s a strong demand for skilled engineers. The country’s affluent market favors premium brands, with Volkswagen, Skoda, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi dominating the market share. The demand for four-wheel-drive vehicles, given Switzerland’s mountainous terrain, and the rising popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles further drive the need for specialized engineering expertise.
