Automation Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a automation in Massachusetts?
Most automation roles in Massachusetts require a degree in electrical engineering, mechatronics, or a closely related field, though associate degree holders who also hold relevant certifications are hired at the technician level. Massachusetts does not issue a state license specific to automation engineers, but many employers in regulated industries require certifications such as a Certified Automation Professional designation from the International Society of Automation. Building hands-on experience with PLC platforms and control systems is essential to move into mid-level roles.
Which companies hire automations in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring automations in Massachusetts right now include Siemens, HIGHRES, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Massachusetts's dense concentration of biopharma, defense, and advanced manufacturing companies means consistent, year-round demand from both large corporations and specialized contract engineering firms.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most automation jobs?
Boston, Worcester, and Cambridge lead for automation openings in Massachusetts. Greater Boston dominates because of its concentration of biopharma campuses, hospital systems, and defense contractors, while Woburn and Lowell support strong industrial and semiconductor manufacturing bases that generate ongoing demand for controls and robotics engineers.
Are there remote automation jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. Automation work is largely hands-on, tied to physical equipment in manufacturing plants, laboratories, or production facilities, so most roles require on-site presence. About 46% of automation openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those tend to be in project management, controls software development, or system architecture roles that can be handled off-site.
How can I get hired as a automation in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a technician or controls associate role at a contract manufacturing or life sciences company, where hands-on training is built into the position. Large Massachusetts employers in biopharma and medical devices, including those concentrated on the Route 128 corridor, regularly hire entry-level engineers through co-op and new-grad programs connected to schools like Northeastern University and UMass Lowell. Earning a foundational PLC certification and completing a relevant internship are the credentials that move an entry-level resume to the top of the stack.
Where can I find and apply to automation jobs in Massachusetts?
