How much do robotics jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 16, 2026, the average yearly pay for robotics in Oregon is $101,499.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $95,200.00 and $107,800.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are robotics jobs?

Robotics jobs involve designing, building, programming, testing, and maintaining robots or robotic systems. Professionals in this field may work in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and research, focusing on automation and innovative technology solutions. Roles can include robotics engineers, technicians, programmers, and researchers, all working together to improve efficiency, safety, and productivity through robotics. These positions typically require knowledge in areas like mechanical engineering, electronics, computer programming, and artificial intelligence.

What are the qualifications to get a job in robotics?

The qualifications you need to get a job in robotics depend on the position you are interested in. Engineers and designers typically need a bachelor’s or master’s degree in robotics, mechanical or electrical engineering, or computer science, as well as strong programming skills. Some technicians and operators also need to have a bachelor’s degree or extensive training. Good technical and analytical skills are required for work in robotics. The duties of these positions vary significantly, although in many cases job responsibilities overlap. For example, engineers often gather advice and technical knowledge from technicians and operators about how robots function when they design new systems.

How do robotics professionals typically collaborate with other engineering disciplines during a project?

Robotics professionals frequently work in cross-functional teams alongside electrical, mechanical, and software engineers. This collaboration ensures that robotic systems are seamlessly integrated, from hardware design to control algorithms and user interfaces. Effective communication and iterative problem-solving are key, as team members must align on technical requirements, system architecture, and testing protocols. Such teamwork not only enhances project outcomes but also provides valuable opportunities to broaden technical skills and learn from other engineering domains.

What is the difference between Robotics vs Mechanical Engineering?

AspectRoboticsMechanical Engineering
Required CredentialsTypically requires a degree in Robotics, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering; certifications in automation or control systemsRequires a degree in Mechanical Engineering; professional licensure may be preferred
Work EnvironmentOften involves working with automation systems, programming robots, and integrating hardware/softwareFocuses on designing, analyzing, and manufacturing mechanical systems
Industry UsageUsed in automation, manufacturing, aerospace, and researchApplied across automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing sectors

Robotics and Mechanical Engineering share overlapping skills, especially in design and systems analysis. However, Robotics emphasizes automation, programming, and system integration, while Mechanical Engineering focuses on mechanical design and analysis. Both fields are vital in manufacturing and technology sectors, but Robotics professionals often work more with software and control systems, whereas Mechanical Engineers concentrate on physical components.

Senior AI Research Engineer

Agility Robotics

Salem, OR

$195K - $304K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 27 days ago


Job description

Agility's commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.

About The Role

The AI innovation team at Agility works on building and deploying next-generation robot foundation models and end-to-end policies on humanoid robots. Your goal will be to develop and test cutting-edge methods for imitation learning and reinforcement learning on humanoid robots, in order to establish the techniques necessary for humanoid robots to perform different real-world tasks. You will work on a team, running experiments on humanoid robots, and will research and implement methods which can be transferred into production.

About the Work
  • Design, train, and deploy robust policies for locomotion, manipulation, and dynamic interactions with the environment.
  • Develop core reinforcement learning infrastructure, including scalable training pipelines and evaluation frameworks.
  • Design and implement new simulation environments and tasks to support training and deployment of control policies.
  • Develop, design, and test imitation learning methods
  • Collaborate with Robotics Software and AI engineering teams to develop policies which can be transferred to production
About You
  • 3+ years of experience developing and deploying learning-from-demonstration
  • Strong programming skills in Python, with proficiency in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
  • Experience with modern learning-from-demonstration tools like DiffusionPolicy
  • Experience with robot data collection, training, and testing on hardware to perform manipulation tasks.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment to deliver safe, high-quality software
  • MS in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.
Bonus Points
  • PhD in Robotics, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Publications in top ML or robotics conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, ICML, CoRL, RSS, ICRA).
  • Familiarity with robot simulation environments (e.g. Mujoco, Isaac Sim) and sim-to-real transfer techniques.
  • Experience with modern reinforcement learning techniques for locomotion, manipulation, and whole-body control
  • Experience with writing performant, high quality software in C++

This a hybrid position based out of one of our Salem, Pittsburgh, or Fremont offices.
