Biomedical Engineer Salary in China

Biomedical Engineer pay in China: Shanghai leads, Chengdu trails

The China national median for a biomedical engineer is ¥573,000 a year. Among 6 metros with observed data, pay runs from about ¥301,000 in Chengdu to ¥450,000 in Shanghai (1.5×).

Biomedical engineers design medical devices and systems that improve patient care. Common screening skills include Design, Biology, Regulatory, and Prototyping.

A modeled national band runs about ¥387,300–¥799,900 around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +7% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Chinese city.

Shanghai sits -21% vs the national median; Chengdu sits -47%. Relocating inside China for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

China shows about 0.1% CPI in 2025. A biomedical engineer raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby engineering titles on this site include Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, and Chemical Engineer.
