Tips for Your Automation Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to each stack
Automation engineer job postings vary widely by platform, so list the exact tools you know, whether that's Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell Studio 5000, or Python-based test frameworks. Matching the stack in your resume header gets you past automated filters faster.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists automation engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Certify the skills hiring managers verify
A Rockwell Automation Certified Systems Integrator credential or a CSIA certification signals hands-on competency that a degree alone doesn't. Many mid-market manufacturers specifically filter for these when shortlisting candidates for controls or SCADA roles.
Target job titles that match your layer
Automation engineer roles split across controls, test, process, and robotics disciplines, and titles vary by industry. Searching 'controls engineer' alongside 'automation engineer' surfaces a wider set of relevant openings, especially in automotive and discrete manufacturing.
Show real-world cycle time or uptime results
Interviewers for automation roles almost always ask what you improved and by how much. Come prepared with two or three concrete examples, such as a downtime reduction or a cycle time improvement you achieved, grounded in actual project outcomes you can walk through step by step.
Negotiate relocation before accepting an offer
Many automation engineer roles are on-site at plant or fab locations that require relocation. Raise relocation assistance and a start-date window during the offer call, not after you sign, because most employers budget for it only if asked at that stage.
Automation Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most automation engineers?
The companies hiring the most automation engineers right now include Apple, Amazon, and AutoNation, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and North Carolina, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand is especially concentrated in manufacturing-heavy states with large automotive and semiconductor footprints.
How many automation engineer jobs are remote?
About 20% of automation engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, which is lower than the broader engineering average given the hands-on nature of most roles. Test automation and software-defined automation sub-disciplines see the highest share of remote-eligible postings, while controls and robotics integration roles are predominantly on-site.
How do you become an automation engineer?
Start with a bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or systems engineering, then build hands-on experience with PLC programming platforms and industrial communication protocols through coursework, co-ops, or entry-level technician roles. Earning a vendor-specific certification, such as a Rockwell or Siemens credential, strengthens your candidacy significantly. Most hiring managers prioritize demonstrated project experience over credentials alone, so document every system you've built or improved.
Can I get an automation engineer job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level automation engineer roles exist, particularly at systems integrators and contract manufacturers who train new hires on specific platforms. Your strongest asset is hands-on project work, whether from a senior capstone, a co-op, or self-built PLC lab setups. Applying to controls technician or junior automation roles first lets you build the on-floor experience that mid-level positions require.
What does the automation engineer interview process look like?
Most processes begin with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical phone or video interview covering PLC logic, ladder diagram interpretation, and troubleshooting scenarios. A practical assessment or whiteboard exercise is common at mid-stage, where you may be asked to design a simple control loop or walk through a real project. Final rounds typically include a panel with engineering and operations leads who probe safety practices and cross-functional communication.
Where can I find and apply to automation engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to automation engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your experience, location preference, and specialization, then apply directly to each listing from the page.
