Hi
The median annual wage for agricultural engineers is $80,720. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $47,330, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $160,950. In addition, agricultural engineers may need to be available outside of normal work hours to address unexpected problems that come up in manufacturing operations or rural construction projects.
Employment of agricultural engineers is projected to grow 2 percent over the next ten years, slower than the average for all occupations. The need to increase the efficiency of agricultural production systems and to reduce environmental damage should maintain demand for these workers. Farming establishments will continue to require more machinery, equipment, and buildings to increase the efficiency of agricultural production systems and to reduce environmental damage, which should maintain demand for these workers. Agricultural engineers are expected to continue working on projects such as alternative energies and biofuels; precision and automated farming technologies for irrigation, spraying, and harvesting; and growing food in space to support future exploration. More efficient designs for traditional agricultural engineering projects such as irrigation, storage, and worker safety systems will also maintain demand for these workers. Growing populations and stronger global competition will result in the industry needing more efficient means of production, which will increase demand for agricultural engineers.

Hi Shraddha!
Professionals in agricultural sectors have a wide range of job opportunities and can work in various organisations. Research of plants, seeds and soils, harvesting, manufacturing, packaging are some of the roles for agriculture engineering professionals. Many are also involved in the designing and testing of agricultural equipment, machinery, etc.
Examples:
Agriculture Research Scientist
Food Safety Applications Engineer
Soil and Plant Scientist
Conservation Scientist and Forester
Agriculture and Irrigation Engineer
Lecturer/Professor
Agricultural engineers can work government jobs as well as private sectors. They can work both indoors and outdoors. There are also opportunities to work in laboratories as researchers or even as professors.
Hope this helps!!
