automation engineering technician

Automation engineering technicians collaborate with automation engineers in the development of applications and systems for the automation of the production process. Automation engineering technicians build, test, monitor, and maintain the computer-controlled systems used in automated production systems.

The most in-demand skills for this role include design drawings, electrical engineering, automatic control system, robotic components, computer engineering, microprocessors. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives automation engineering technician a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
