Time to Bust Out Some Numbers
A reputed job portal conducted a study on job opportunities available in India in the robotics sector which revealed a surge of 186 percent amongst Indian job seekers between May 2015 and May 2018 looking to make a career in the robotics sector. Also, the sector saw a rise of 191 percent in job postings during the aforementioned period.
Over the past few years, the robotics sector has witnessed a huge demand for robotics talent with sectors like manufacturing, healthcare and construction leading the way. And not to forget its myriad applications in other sectors such as automotive, military, industry, space, agriculture, etc. With access to Internet connectivity and open source applications becoming more readily available to the Indian citizens, this will prove conducive to the sector’s growth.
Where are the jobs?
So, you’ve completed your degree and are on the lookout for an opportunity in robotics. Where do you go from here? Are there even jobs out there? And more importantly…jobs in which field? You’d be delighted to know that you have a number of specialised fields in Robotics where you can make yourself a career. Let’s list some of those options out: Micro-Robotics, Automation, Bio-Cybernetics, Digital Electronics and Micro-Processors, Medical Robotics, Design and Control, Signal Processing, Robot Manipulators, Computer Integrated Manufacturing System, Robot Motion Planning, Computational Geometry, Computer Aided Manufacturing, Air Traffic Management Systems, Artificial Intelligence and more.
Think we’re done? But we still haven’t spoken about opportunities in appliances & electronics building, food packaging, teaching, etc. Not to mention maintenance of power plants, nuclear research, space exploration, automobile industry, petroleum exploration et al. Phew!
There’s this fear among us, (whether rightly or wrongly, which you have to decide), that automation is taking away human jobs. You’d be surprised to know that due to automation a larger number of jobs are being created for skilled personnel. In India, Maharashtra is leading the states when it comes to creating the most robotic jobs followed closely by Karnataka and Telangana.
There are quite a few openings here in the country as well as abroad for those of you who are passionate about robotics.
