automation engineer (EN)
ISCO 2141 · v1.2.1
Automation engineers research, design, and develop applications and systems for the automation of the production process. They implement technology and reduce, whenever applicable, human input to reach the full potential of industrial robotics. Automation engineers oversee the process and ensure all systems run safely and smoothly.
Classification skills are not a measurement of your proficiency or future displaced hours.
