The median salary from this set was ¥14,788 RMB per month.  This is a nationwide data set and we don’t (yet) have the city-level info for it. Different cities in China command different levels of compensation. For more on that, check out our breakdown of average Chinese salaries by city.  It’s also important to note that the salaries used are self-reported much like Glassdoor and are most often verified (real ID) users.  We also like to point out that salary data from local job sites is mostly for Chinese-speaking positions. SQE job salaries in China with English or other foreign language requirements are usually at least higher than the median.  More Salary Data on Supplier Quality Engineers in China! Recruitment Salary Distribution for SQEs in China This chart takes the same data points and distributes by City or Region in China. Interestingly, the top 4 regions on this list are ‘smaller’, lesser-known ones – even though a city like Dongying (#4) still has over 2 million residents!  SQE’s are usually stationed near manufacturing hubs, so we tend to see a larger variety of locations come up for this type of position. Companies are willing to pay more in manufacturing areas where there is not enough existing SQE talent present. Further down the list, we can find some familiar Chinese mega-cities like Beijing (#5), Lanzhou (#7), and Shanghai (#9). Recruitment Demand Distribution for SQEs in China This chart shows a March 2024 snapshot of how many open Supplier Quality Engineer positions there are by city on the major jobs platform BOSS Zhipin.  The results here are straightforward – the economic powerhouses of Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Suzhou take the top spots, with other major manufacturing and technology hubs rounding out the list. One interesting point is the concentration of positions at the top of this list – The top-seated Shanghai has twice as many open positions as the #4 city Ningbo, and about four times as the #10 spot Changzhou.  Educational Distribution of Supplier Quality Engineers in China Here we’ve got a distribution of the education requirements for SQE positions across China. 53.2% of positions require an undergraduate University degree. Another 39.5% require at least a College degree – which amounts to 2+ years of technical coursework. On the other end, only 0.6% of jobs in the data set required a Master’s degree or above.  Experience Distribution of Supplier Quality Engineers in China And here we have a breakdown of the experience required for SQE positions. 41.2% of jobs listed required 3-5 years of experience. Next up were jobs with 1-3 years and 5-10 years of experience required, accounting for 23.9% and 21.6% of positions, respectively. Less than 1% of jobs listed put applicant experience requirements at under 1 year. This plays into the classic trope of 1) new grads needing experience to get hired, but are 2) unable to obtain the experience due to a lack of entry-level jobs in the market. It is, however, important to note that these requirements are the ones advertised by companies on BOSS Zhipin’s platform. We don’t have the data to extract exactly how close hiring managers stick to these requirements when assessing candidates. Simply put – jobs listing an experience requirement of 3-5 years may, in reality, consider candidates with under 3 years of experience.    Hiring in China?
