What does a Robotics Engineer do?

A Robotics Engineer designs, builds, and tests robots and robotic systems that are able to perform tasks typically done by humans. They work on integrating hardware and software to create machines that can automate processes in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. Their responsibilities often include researching new technologies, programming robotic systems, troubleshooting issues, and collaborating with other engineers. Robotics Engineers play a key role in advancing automation and improving efficiency and safety in various sectors.

What Does a Robotics Engineer Do?

A robotics engineer designs and often builds robots from their plans and ensures the correct processes are in place for the robot to run properly. They work with their clients to determine costs and design specifications, then they design software systems to control robotic systems; build, configure, and test robots; and automate processes to increase production and precision. Once the robotic system is in place, the robotics engineer helps troubleshoot any problems the clients have with the system.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Robotics Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Robotics Engineer, you need a strong background in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science, typically backed by a relevant bachelor's or master's degree. Familiarity with programming languages like Python or C++, CAD software, and robotics platforms such as ROS (Robot Operating System) is essential. Problem-solving skills, creativity, and effective teamwork are standout soft skills in this field. These competencies are crucial for designing, building, and refining innovative robotic systems that meet complex technical and user requirements.

What types of projects do Robotics Engineers typically collaborate on with cross-functional teams?

Robotics Engineers often work closely with professionals from software development, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering to design, build, and test robotic systems. Projects can range from automating manufacturing processes to developing autonomous vehicles or medical robots. Collaboration is essential, as engineers must integrate hardware and software components while ensuring systems meet safety and performance standards. Effective communication and teamwork are key to successfully bringing innovative robotics solutions from concept to reality.

What is the difference between Robotics Engineer vs Mechanical Engineer?

AspectRobotics EngineerMechanical Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Robotics, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering or related field; certifications in robotics or automationBachelor's in Mechanical Engineering; Professional Engineer (PE) license optional
Work EnvironmentDesigning, testing, and programming robotic systems in labs or manufacturing settingsDesigning and analyzing mechanical systems in various industries, including manufacturing, automotive, aerospace
Industry UsageRobotics companies, automation firms, manufacturingManufacturing, automotive, aerospace, product design

Robotics Engineers focus on designing and developing robotic systems, combining knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and software engineering. Mechanical Engineers have a broader scope, working on mechanical systems across multiple industries. While both roles require engineering degrees, Robotics Engineers often need specialized skills in programming and automation. The choice depends on your interest in robotics and automation versus general mechanical system design.

Job description

The Associate Automation Engineer is an entry-level role designed to grow the next generation of automation engineering talent. You'll work alongside senior engineers to design, develop, test, and deploy automated manufacturing cells — gaining hands-on experience across controls, robotics, software, and system integration, with increasing ownership as you develop.

What You'll Do
  • Support senior Automation Engineers in the development, build, and commissioning of automated manufacturing cells.
  • Assist with system integration, assembly support, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) of automation equipment.
  • Participate in the development, testing, and troubleshooting of control systems, robotics, and automation software.
  • Contribute to programming and debugging across PLCs, robots, and higher-level software systems.
  • Help develop and modify HMIs, control logic, and feedback/control systems.
  • Support robotics integration, including setup, testing, and optimization of robotic cells.
  • Use CAD/CAM tools to support mechanical layouts, cell design concepts, and documentation.
  • Take part in commissioning and deployment activities at manufacturing sites, with occasional travel required.
  • Learn and apply engineering best practices, safety standards, and structured development methodologies under the guidance of experienced mentors.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement efforts related to automation performance, reliability, and standardization.
What We're Looking For

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Foundational understanding of automation, control systems, and robotics principles.
  • Understanding of PLC programming, industrial networks, and HMI development.
  • Programming experience in one or more of the following: Python, Java, or C# is preferred
  • Working knowledge of control and feedback systems, as well as robotics and automated systems.
  • Exposure to CAD/CAM tools — NX preferred; academic or project experience is welcome.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a genuine eagerness to learn in a hands-on manufacturing environment.
  • Clear, effective communication skills and an analytical mindset.
  • Ability to manage shifting priorities and support multiple sites with a degree of independence.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% in support of automation builds and deployments.

Nice to Have

  • Internship, co-op, or project experience in automation, manufacturing, or robotics.
  • Familiarity with industrial automation hardware, sensors, and actuators.
  • A passion for advanced manufacturing and factory automation technologies.
