Biomedical Engineer pay in Spain: Madrid leads, Barcelona trails

The Spain national median for a biomedical engineer is 98.400 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 65.600 € in Barcelona to 70.600 € in Madrid (1.1×).

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 66.500 €–137.400 € 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 Spanish city.

Madrid sits -28% vs the national median; Barcelona sits -33%. Relocating inside Spain 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.

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.
