About the role

This is a Mid Level role in the Engineering, Construction and Energy field (Manufacturing and hardware engineering) at Leidos. Mid-level roles usually expect some years of relevant experience and the ability to work with limited supervision.

We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.

Does the pay work here? (estimate)

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.

The city

The job is in Akron, OH. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Akron compares. Among the 100 largest places in Ohio, Akron is #5 by population, #86 for household income (#1 = highest), #82 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #28 for rent (#1 = cheapest). Its county, Summit County, is #12 of 88 counties for average pay ($62,871).

The place in numbers

Akron has 189,247 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 1.6% of the population of Ohio. It covers 62 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,056 people per square mile. The median age is 36.9, 7% younger than the state median (36.9 against 39.7).

Housing

The median gross rent is $955 a month (rent plus utilities), 8% below the state median ($955 against $1,034). Over a year that is 23.8% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $122,000, which is 2.5 times the median household income ($48,076); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 50.7% of households own their home, 25% below the state average (50.7% against 67.2%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Akron, OH metropolitan area has 319,560 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $48,840 a year, 4% below the national median ($48,840 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (36,790 jobs, median $46,160); transportation and material moving (31,970 jobs, median $40,800); food preparation and serving related (28,910 jobs, median $30,090). The area is most specialised in production (1.4 times) and architecture and engineering (1.2 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($105,470) and computer and mathematical ($95,650). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Summit County was 3.7%. 63.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Summit County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 71.7% drive alone, 2.0% use public transit, 2.0% walk, 11.2% work from home. 10.5% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, about the same as the state average (10.5% against 10.8%).

People and education

23.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 25% below the state share (23.6% against 31.5%). 7.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 34% above the state share (7.0% against 5.2%). The poverty rate is 23.3%, 76% above the state rate (23.3% against 13.3%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 73°F (23.0°C), and the coolest is Jan at 25°F (-3.7°C). About 994 mm (39 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (104 mm) and Feb the driest (62 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Tallmadge (5 miles, rent 12% higher); Barberton (7 miles, rent 11% lower); Cuyahoga Falls (7 miles, rent 9% higher); Stow (8 miles, rent 27% higher). Rent differences are against Akron; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
