How much do magnets jobs pay per hour?

As of Sep 3, 2026, the average hourly pay for magnets in the United States is $18.18, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $16.35 and $20.19 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are magnets and how do they work?

Magnets are objects that produce a magnetic field, which allows them to attract certain metals, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. The magnetic field is generated by the alignment of the magnetic domains within the material. Magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other while like poles repel. Magnets are used in a wide variety of applications, including electronics, motors, and magnetic storage devices. The strength and shape of a magnet can vary depending on its material and how it is manufactured.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a magnet manufacturing engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Magnet Manufacturing Engineer, you need expertise in materials science, engineering principles, and process optimization, typically supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with computer-aided design (CAD) software, quality management systems, and manufacturing automation tools is essential. Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills set top professionals apart in this field. These skills are crucial for ensuring high-quality production, innovation, and efficient operations in magnet manufacturing.

What are some common challenges faced by magnetic engineers when designing new magnetic devices?

Magnetic Engineers often encounter challenges related to optimizing the efficiency and stability of magnetic fields while minimizing material costs and weight. Balancing performance requirements with safety standards, especially in industries like healthcare or transportation, can be complex. Additionally, collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams—such as electrical, mechanical, and materials engineers—is essential to ensure the magnetic components integrate seamlessly into larger systems.

What is the difference between Magnets vs Welders?

AspectMagnetsWelders
Required CredentialsNone or basic safety trainingWelding certifications (e.g., AWS)
Work EnvironmentManufacturing, assembly lines, constructionConstruction sites, factories, repair shops
Industry UsageElectronics, manufacturing, automotiveConstruction, manufacturing, shipbuilding
Job FocusUsing magnetic tools or materialsJoining metals through welding

Magnets and welders work in manufacturing and construction environments but serve different purposes. Magnets are used for holding or lifting materials, often requiring minimal training. Welders, on the other hand, perform metal joining processes that require specialized certifications. Understanding these differences helps job seekers find roles aligned with their skills and credentials.

Job description

Job Description SummaryThe Technology & Innovation Center (HTIC) is GE HealthCares global innovation engine, operating through two major hubs (Niskayuna, NY, USA & Bangalore, India) with a highly specialized, multidisciplinary team spanning imaging physics and systems, microelectronics, AI, biosciences, electromagnetics, robotics, materials science, and advanced system engineering. HTICs purpose is to drive disruptive innovation that delivers step-change performance improvements in current platforms while pioneering next-generation and cross-segment technologies that lead to new business opportunities. HTIC also proposes and wins external grant awards, typically from the US government (NIH, BARDA, ARPA-H, etc.). The organization's redefined operating model, culture, and governance are enabling greater agility, stronger clinical and business segment partnerships, and the acceleration of disruptive solutions that position GE HealthCare to drive the future of healthcare.
As a Technician in the Superconducting Magnet team at HTIC, you will carry out a broad range of complex engineering assignments supporting the development of novel superconducting magnet prototypes, including magnet coil winding, cold mass build-up, and cryostat assembly. Assignments may include but are not limited to set-up and operation of data acquisition equipment, execution of experiments, troubleshooting of hardware/test systems, documentation and reporting of test results. The Superconducting Magnet Technician also supports compliance and quality activities within the lab and serves as a technical resource for other team members.Job Description
