    Many companies have a tiered team of Robotics Engineers with varying experience requirements at each level. Entry-level engineers may have little or no experience beyond their initial education. To advance in Robotics Engineer careers, two or more years of work history in the field may be necessary. Often, senior engineers who oversee design teams or execute projects independently have already worked in robotics for five to 10 years or more.

    Generally, a bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science or a similar field is necessary for employment as a Robotics Engineer. Showing evidence of additional education such as a master’s degree or postgraduate certificate may offset a lack of experience when considering candidates for mid- or senior-level positions. Individuals who are a Certified Motion Control Professional, Certified Robot Integrator, Certified System Integrator or Certified Vision Professional from the Association for Advancing Automation may also be quality candidates. Requirements vary but typically involve either postgraduate coursework or work experience. Engineers must also pass an examination to become certified.
