Robotic Jobs

Before the creation and use of robots, jobs that were repetitive, needed an extremely steady hand, or that worked with hazardous materials were a source of trouble for manufacturers and other industries. Widespread use of robots in manufacturing, healthcare, and other areas have solved many of these problems and have created a new category of robotic jobs. These robotic technicians and engineers are also known as electro-mechanical technicians.

Robotic engineers design and build robots used in a variety of industries including energy, plastics, aerospace, auto manufacturing, and healthcare. Robotic technicians operate, test, and maintain robots as well as program them to perform new tasks. Technicians also troubleshoot and repair any problems that arise with the robots. The qualities needed to succeed in a robotic job include being detail oriented, having manual dexterity, and being a logical thinker with an understanding of math and mechanics.
