The federal wage survey has no code for this title, so these are computer and information research scientists: median $140,300, bottom tenth $82,200, top tenth $230,630. That code leans toward research roles with advanced degrees. A lot of working machine learning engineers are actually counted as software developers instead, where the median is lower. Take this as the top of the software pay band rather than a typical first salary.
