The Future of Manufacturing: How Automation Engineers Are Transforming Industry
Manufacturing isn’t just changing – it’s getting a brain
The “smart factory” era is truly here, where robots and AI are taking over repetitive jobs people once did by hand. But behind every bot, a new kind of leader is making it all work: Automation Engineer 2.0
This job is booming – and for good reason.
The global industrial robotics market is projected to more than double, growing to $81 billion by 2028. The Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts around 18,000 new openings each year. That means Automation Engineers aren’t just technicians – they’re at the heart of the world’s next big industrial leap. Research highlights that AI-enhanced automation is driving an 11.7% yearly growth in robotics, fueled by advances in IoT, 5G, and machine learning integration.
