Tips for Your Automation Job Search
Quantify your automation impact on your resume
List specific outcomes you drove, like cycle time reductions or error rate improvements, rather than listing tools you used. Hiring managers for automation roles expect metrics because the work is inherently measurable, and vague bullets will get passed over.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists automation openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Match your resume to the control system in the posting
Automation jobs often specify Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or Mitsubishi platforms by name. If you have hands-on experience with the exact hardware mentioned, call it out in your summary line, not buried in a skills table where it is easy to miss.
Prepare a portfolio of scripts or logic diagrams
Bring tangible samples to interviews: ladder logic screenshots, Python scripts for RPA workflows, or P&ID diagrams you worked from. Even redacted or anonymized examples demonstrate that your experience is real and applied, not just theoretical.
Ask interview questions that reveal system complexity
Questions like 'What is the oldest piece of equipment still in production?' or 'How does your team handle change management for PLC updates?' signal that you understand the day-to-day reality of automation work, not just the textbook version.
Negotiate on total comp including training access
Automation platforms update frequently, so vendor training credits or certification reimbursement have real dollar value. When negotiating an offer, ask specifically about access to Rockwell, Siemens, or Automation Anywhere training programs alongside base pay.
Automation Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most automations?
The companies hiring the most automations right now include AutoNation, Apple, and Amazon, 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 particularly strong at manufacturers, logistics operators, and enterprise software companies expanding their automation capabilities.
How many automation jobs are remote?
About 19% of automation openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, though the share varies significantly by specialization. Software-focused roles such as robotic process automation development and test automation engineering skew more remote, while industrial controls and PLC programming roles typically require on-site presence at a plant or facility.
How do you become an automation engineer?
Start with a degree or technical certificate in electrical engineering, mechatronics, computer science, or industrial technology. Build hands-on PLC programming skills using free simulation software before pursuing vendor certifications from Rockwell or Siemens. Entry-level roles in manufacturing or facilities maintenance are common first steps, and many automation professionals move up after gaining field experience with real control systems.
Can you get an automation job with little or no experience?
Yes, entry-level automation technician and junior RPA developer roles regularly hire candidates without extensive professional experience. Employers in those roles look for demonstrated technical curiosity: a personal project automating a home system, a GitHub repository with automation scripts, or a completed PLC simulation lab from a community college course can all substitute for years on the job.
What does the automation interview process look like?
Most automation interviews start with a recruiter screen focused on your background and tool familiarity, followed by a technical round where you may be asked to read ladder logic, walk through a troubleshooting scenario, or describe how you designed a previous automation solution. Senior roles often add a system design discussion where you are asked to architect a solution from a set of requirements.
Where can I find and apply to automation jobs?
You can find and apply to automation jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
