Guess it’s all about supply and demand since Germany is the Mecca for Process Controls and Automation.

There’s like no ecosystem for Hardware in North America. Definitely primarily software

Not "in North America". On the coasts, in attractive big cities, sure. The midwest is still full of manufacturing though, and they still hire engineers (but they're going to make $100,000+, not $300,000+ like software devs in CA).

That Manufacturing is more light and heavy industries though? Like Automotive and the like?

When I mean hardware I mean Electronics and PCB - like Apple or Internet Connected Electronics.

There are lots and lots of electronics in automobiles, industrial machinery, and robots. They need engineers of all kinds to design products, processes, equipment, etc.

Perhaps those manufacturing jobs could pay closer to software if the employers were willing to give more equity.
