Automation Engineer Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become an automation engineer in New York?
Most automation engineer roles in New York require a bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or mechatronics engineering, though some employers accept computer science with relevant controls experience. New York does not issue a state license specific to automation engineering, but candidates working on licensed building systems or facilities may need to coordinate with a New York State licensed professional engineer. Building a portfolio of PLC or SCADA projects, earning certifications from vendors like Rockwell Automation or Siemens, and targeting internship programs at New York manufacturing or pharma employers strengthens your candidacy considerably.
How much do automation engineers make in New York?
Automation engineers in New York earn a median of about $117,600 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $73,410 for the lowest 10% to over $192,900 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire automation engineers in New York?
Employers hiring automation engineers in New York right now include E-Technologies Group, fairlife, and Capgemini, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's concentration of pharmaceutical manufacturers on Long Island and large building systems integrators across the metro area keeps demand for automation engineers consistently high throughout the year.
Which New York cities have the most automation engineer jobs?
New York, Albany, and Webster have the most automation engineer openings in New York. New York City drives the largest share through its commercial building systems, utility infrastructure, and life sciences sectors, while Long Island and the Hudson Valley see strong demand from pharmaceutical manufacturers, defense contractors, and semiconductor facilities that anchor those regional economies.
Are there remote automation engineer jobs in New York?
Yes, but they're rare. Automation engineering is fundamentally hands-on work tied to physical equipment, control panels, and production floors, so most roles require on-site presence. About 27% of automation engineer openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, and those positions tend to cover the design, programming, and documentation phases of projects rather than commissioning or maintenance work.
How can I get hired as an automation engineer in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a co-op or internship with a New York manufacturing or systems integration firm while completing your engineering degree, as employers like Siemens and Johnson Controls run structured early-career programs in the region. Candidates without a degree can target field service technician or controls technician roles at industrial employers on Long Island or in the Hudson Valley, which often promote internally into automation engineer titles. Earning a vendor certification in Allen-Bradley or Siemens TIA Portal and building even one documented PLC project substantially improves your standing with New York hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to automation engineer jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to automation engineer jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to this role and state. Find the roles that fit your experience and apply directly from each listing.
