Okay, let’s tackle this. So Miguel has 6+ years of experience as a Controls Engineer, which is a solid amount of time to develop expertise. Location is Lake Orion, Michigan, which is a mid-sized city in the US. Controls Engineers with similar experience in the US typically charge between $50-$100 per hour, depending on the industry and company size. Since Miguel has a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (not specified), I’ll assume he’s in the lower end of the range. Let’s estimate around $75 per hour.
