Robotics Technologist: Salary,
Responsibilities and Outlook
Robotics technologists require little formal education. Learn about the
education, job duties and necessaryskills to see if this is the right
careerfor you.Robotics technologists work with engineers to develop
robotic equipment. A robotics technologist's salary can vary greatly,
depending on the industry and employer. For example, in 2015 the
annual wage for this professionranged from just over $33,000 a year to
more than $84,000.
Essential Information
Robotic technologists use their knowledge of electrical, electronic, and
mechanical systems to assist engineers in the development and
of automated equipment. They are also responsible for repairing and
maintaining robotics machinery and components. The typical requirement
for this position is an associate's degree in robotics technology and an
understanding of robotics circuitry.
Robotics Technologist Salary
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS),
electro-mechanical technicians earned a median annual salary of $53,340
in May 2015. The BLS classifies robotics technologists within this
category. The lowest-paid ten percent earned around $33,580 or less,
whereas the highest-paid ten percent earned around $84,520 or more.
Wages varied according to industry and location. The highest paying
positions, for example, were in the oil and gas extraction industry, which
offered a mean wage of $80,220 per year. Washington was the highest
paying state at $81,950 per year.
Robotics Technologist Responsibilities
Robotics technologists use their knowledge of electrical and electronic
circuitry and mechanical engineering to develop robotic systems. This
includes working closely beside engineers to design, test, improve, and
manufacture automated mechanical equipment and its components. They
may be responsible for installing and programming robotic systems as
well as for troubleshooting malfunctions, repairing faulty devices, and
performing preventative measures.
Robotics Technologist Outlook
Electro-mechanical technicians are expected to experience a one percent
increase in employment from 2014-2024, according to the BLS. This lack
of growth will be due largely to increased efficiency in the design and
production of robotics machinery; however, it may be offset by a demand
to replace technologists that leave the occupation. Technologists with
associate's degrees or similar postsecondarytraining will benefit from
greater employment opportunities.
Associate of Applied Science in Robotics
Technology
Employers often prefer applicants with associate's degrees in robotics
engineering. Such degree programs are offered by community colleges
and technical institutions. Curricula generally focus on practical
application of robotic engineering and prepare students for entry-level
technologist positions. Courses may include robotic systems integration,
microprocessors, programmable controllers, and automated systems
applications. While both technical schools and community colleges offer
two-year degrees, technical schools tend to lack the general education and
theory instruction offered by community colleges.
Aspiring robotics technologists should first earn a degree in robotics
technology, which will help prepare them for working with circuitry and
mechanics. These professionals need to know how to troubleshoot robotic
systems, make repairs when necessary and maintain equipment to prevent
future breakdowns.
