Automation Engineer Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a automation engineer in Georgia?
Most automation engineer roles in Georgia require a bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or systems engineering from an accredited program, though some employers consider candidates with an associate degree paired with significant hands-on experience. Georgia does not require a state-issued license specifically for automation engineers, but Professional Engineer licensure through the Georgia State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors strengthens candidacy for senior or consulting roles. Earning certifications such as the Certified Automation Professional from the International Society of Automation is a meaningful differentiator.
How much do automation engineers make in Georgia?
Automation engineers in Georgia earn a median of about $112,260 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,200 for the lowest 10% to over $163,210 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire automation engineers in Georgia?
Employers hiring automation engineers in Georgia right now include ProAutomated, Capgemini, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's concentration of automotive assembly plants, food and beverage manufacturers, and aerospace facilities means consistent demand from large industrial employers with ongoing automation programs.
Which Georgia cities have the most automation engineer jobs?
Atlanta, Augusta, and Alpharetta have the most automation engineer openings in Georgia. Atlanta leads because of its broad industrial base and the density of systems integrators and corporate engineering offices headquartered there, while Savannah's expanding port and logistics operations drive demand, and Columbus draws openings from defense contractors and manufacturing facilities in the Chattahoochee Valley.
Are there remote automation engineer jobs in Georgia?
Yes, but they're rare. Automation engineering is fundamentally hands-on work tied to physical equipment, so most Georgia roles require on-site presence for commissioning, troubleshooting, and system validation. About 35% of automation engineer openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions typically cover design, programming review, or project management tasks that don't require direct machine access.
How can I get hired as a automation engineer in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an internship or co-op through Georgia Tech, Georgia Southern, or Kennesaw State University, where engineering programs maintain relationships with Georgia manufacturers. Large employers like Novelis and Gulfstream Aerospace run structured entry-level and new-graduate programs that place candidates in hands-on roles directly after graduation. Candidates moving from adjacent roles such as maintenance technician, electrical technician, or controls technician often have a strong advantage, and an entry-level Certified Automation Professional credential from the International Society of Automation helps demonstrate initiative to Georgia hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to automation engineer jobs in Georgia?
You can find and apply to automation engineer jobs in Georgia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Georgia openings updated regularly. Search the available roles, find ones that fit your experience and location, and apply directly to the employers posting them.
