Job Overview

Job Description

An automation engineer’s responsibilities are multifarious. Engineers of automation are responsible for designing and constructing different automated systems. Consequently, their position entails designing, programming, modeling, and testing automated apparatus or systems for precision-based tasks. Typically, they work in industries where robotics, machinery, or software have been developed to perform particular tasks.

Using computer-aided design (CAD) software, these engineers create layouts for automation components and analyze production processes to identify optimal outcomes. They handle challenges, carry out routine maintenance of automation tools, and execute fixes and troubleshooting as necessary. In addition to creating specifications for quality assurance and the operation of machines, automation engineers collaborate with technicians to periodically recalibrate equipment.
