Robotics engineering presents both challenges and opportunities in terms of career prospects. Those with skills in robotics, C++ programming, software development, and computer vision can expect to earn above-average pay. On the other hand, engineering design is one profession that tends to pay below market rate.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary for mechanical engineers was $90,160 in 2020, and job growth was projected to be 7% between 2020 and 2028. In India, robotics is a multidisciplinary field with a wide range of job opportunities at top local and international firms, such as NASA, Tech Mahindra, DiFACTO, Robotics and Automation, BHEL Precision Automation, Robotics India, Kuka Robotics, and ISRO.
