ASELSAN Salaries 2025: Engineer, Technician and Specialist Pay
Short answer: ASELSAN does not publish an official salary table by position. For that reason the figures below are limited estimates based on employee reports and third-party salary sites; they are not confirmed ASELSAN data. There are serious inconsistencies between sources. As a general trend, new-graduate engineer salaries are reported across a wide band in different sources (roughly 45,000–72,000 TL/month), rising as experience increases. Whether the figures are net or gross is not stated in most sources. One frequently cited ASELSAN advantage — repeated across many sources — is the 16 salaries per year practice.
Data reliability warning: The salary figures in this article fall into the “limited estimate based on employee reports” category. ASELSAN does not disclose official figures; the sample is small and the sources contradict one another. Read the numbers not as confirmed fact but only as a rough sense of the picture.
Estimated salary ranges by position
| Position | Experience | Estimated monthly range (TL) | Data type |
|---|---|---|---|
| New graduate / candidate engineer | 0–1 years | 45,000 – 72,590 | Limited estimate based on employee reports |
| Engineer | 3–5 years | 60,000 – 91,200 | Limited estimate based on employee reports |
| Senior engineer / specialist / project mgr. | 10+ years | 90,000 – 152,760 (upper bound from a single source) | Very low-confidence estimate |
| Technician | New | 25,000 – 30,000 | Limited estimate based on employee reports |
| Technician | Experienced | ~35,000 | Limited estimate based on employee reports |
| Technician (vocational) | — | Insufficient current data | — |
| Intern / high-school graduate | — | Insufficient current data | — |
Salary by discipline (software / EEE / mechanical / computer / industrial / systems engineer): Sources list these disciplines as headings but do not give reliable figures broken down by discipline. For that reason the disciplines were not assigned separate numbers — there is insufficient current data on pay differences by discipline.
Factors that affect pay
Years of experience, position/seniority, education level (master’s/PhD), work location (mostly Ankara), year-end performance bonus and fringe benefits. When assessing ASELSAN salaries, the total package (16 salaries + private health insurance + shuttle + meals) should be taken into account.
Why can ASELSAN, HAVELSAN, ROKETSAN and TUSAŞ pay not be compared directly?
Each company has a different salary policy, bonus structure, work location, benefits and title definitions; moreover none of them discloses official figures by position. A precise comparison based on a single number would therefore be misleading.
