Jobs like these tend to touch one of a couple spaces. Controls engineering: PLC programming and traditional robotics Fleetops, application engineer, or operations engineer: I’ve seen these show up at places like Boston dynamics Technical support: look for ones that mention wanting like a EE and knowing stuff about control systems. SCADA engineer: Especially at tech startups. In general you’re looking for jobs that reference a mixture of networking, control systems, SCADA, DCS, PLC, IT infra, and of course robotics. My entire team is 30+, hard to find people with a diverse background that are also 22.
