The field of automation involves the creation and application of technology to monitor or control the production and delivery of products and services by the International Society of Automation and the Automation Federation. Automation engineers design, program, simulate and test automated machinery and processes in order to complete exact tasks. They typically are employed in industries such as car manufacturing or food processing plants, where robots or machines are used to perform specific functions.

Automation engineers are responsible for design specifications and other detailed documentation of their creations. The candidate should be responsible for developing and executing automated tests

Requirements

There are few degree programs in the U.S. available in automation engineering. Therefore, most automation engineers earn their bachelor degrees in mechanical or electrical engineering and then learn the intricacies of automation engineering on the job. Mechanical or electrical engineering courses may include robotics,



statistics, fluid dynamics and databases. Some automation engineers pursue master degrees in related fields.

Certification or licensing can greatly assist an engineer search for an automation position. An individual holding a control system engineer license can demonstrate his or her understanding of instrumentation and the automatic control of energetic processes. A person may also become a certified control systems technician, a title recognized by more than 40 companies that use automation systems. Finally, one may become a certified automation professional; these individuals are often found in higher-level positions, since this difficult certification is held by only about 400 automation engineers in the world.
