When I pull up in demand tech surveys, they always indicate that the robotics engineers are in a high demand, great job & career, place them next to software engineers or one two lines up/down …. While, it looks more like a hype to me and just a fancy word to define what has been done for decades. What do they do? Really in demand? Compensation packages? If it is about automated manuf/assembly lines, it has been around for decades, if it is about 6/or n-axes Kuka, Panasonic arm robots, etc., it has been around for decades also, all those welding robots, assembly robots are part of daily prod life. Mechatronics? Not a new industry at all. Then, what’s that really in terms of career/ compensation? #robotics
Has anyone seen those robotics engineers :)
You are thinking of transitional automation engineering roles for folks with hardware background (controls, EE, ME). Fang companies hire Robotics engineers with focus on ML and AI. These folks are typically CS graduates doing academic research. They usually command higher comp then SWEs.

In demand tech surveys are hilariously wrong.
Robert half issues trends/reports one or two times per year. I find them more or less realistic. Assuming they have some statistics and data to make those reports
