News and Events

The process of robotics job searching can feel daunting, whether you’re new to the manufacturing industry, looking for your first robotics job or a seasoned professional looking to switch employers. There are some specific things to keep in mind when looking for a new robotics job opportunity, and RoboticsCareer.org is here to help. Both in-person and remote robotics jobs are becoming more common as manufacturers grow their capabilities, and discovering the perfect robotics job opening becomes more and more likely as your own capabilities grow. Learn more about RoboticsCareer.org, a free resource provided by ARM Institute, and get started on the path to your ideal robotics job.

About RoboticsCareer.org

RoboticsCareer.org is a free, national resource, powered by the ARM Institute, designed to connect users to training and robotics job opportunities in manufacturing.

RoboticsCareer.org offers a personalized match system, with a variety of filters available, so instead of scrolling through an endless list of robotics job openings that might fit what you’re looking for, you can find and apply to robotics job opportunities that exactly meet your expectations and skills. The screen below is what you will see when you are searching for robotics job openings and have selected “additional filters”. Let’s explore some of these filtering options and why they are important when searching for a new robotics job opportunity.

Job Format

The first filter available is Job Format. Simply put, this allows you to differentiate between on-site, hybrid, and remote robotics job opportunities. In today’s changing landscape, many employers now offer hybrid or remote robotics jobs, and this filter allows you to take advantage of that if it’s of interest to you.

Industry

Next, you can filter by specific industry. Jobs in robotics and manufacturing have a lot of variation, so with this filter, you can exclude or include certain areas, such as aerospace, automotive, construction, or electronics. This filter gives you the ability to zero in on your niche and apply to jobs that very closely align with your skillset and experience.

Job Level & Schedule

You can also filter by level of seniority and schedule. These can both save you time and ensure you only see robotics job openings relevant to you. For example, if you have been a robotics integrator for several years, you likely will not spend time applying to entry-level robotics technician jobs. By using this filter, you can save time reading and applying, as you will only see relevant robotics job listings. As for schedule, the filter provides options such as shift work, weekdays only, or variable. This is yet another way you can personalize what types of jobs you’d like to see.

Salary & Benefits

One of the most important questions to a robotics job seeker, is what compensation package will this job offer? With RoboticsCareer.org, you can input your desired robotics salary range, and if you’re looking for benefits. Of course, this filter is only as good as the information supplied by the employers, and in many states, disclosing salary range is not a requirement. So, while a useful tool, it is not an end-all-be-all, especially as compensation is typically negotiated towards the end of the interview process.

Other Filter Options

Beyond utilizing those filters to narrow down your search, you can also conduct a general keyword search, as pictured above. By simply typing in the keyword bar in the upper left corner, you can pull up only job listings with any mention of that keyword. You can also stack filters on top of the keywords you are looking for to further narrow down the list. For example, if you are looking to have the word “engineer” in your job title, you can type it into the keyword bar, add any other filters you need based on the job you’re looking for, and click search. All options presented to you will match the criteria you’ve set. And possibly most important of all filters, you have the option to input location preferences. Maybe you want to check the manufacturing job market in other states to determine feasibility of moving, or maybe you only want to see jobs in your home city. With RoboticsCareer.org, all of this can be done with a few clicks.
