Automation Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a automation in New York?
The path depends on whether you are pursuing industrial automation or IT process automation. For industrial roles, a degree in electrical engineering, mechatronics, or computer science is the standard foundation, and many employers in New York also value vendor certifications from Rockwell Automation or Siemens. For IT automation roles, a background in systems administration or software development combined with cloud certifications recognized by New York employers typically opens the door to associate-level positions.
Which companies hire automations in New York?
Employers hiring automations in New York right now include Siemens, Regeneron, and GE Vernova, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's mix of heavy industry in the Hudson Valley, energy infrastructure downstate, and financial services firms in Manhattan means demand is spread across several distinct employer types.
Which New York cities have the most automation jobs?
The cities with the most automation openings in New York are New York, Albany, and Buffalo. New York City leads because of the concentration of financial technology firms and large corporate headquarters, while Buffalo and Albany draw demand from manufacturing facilities, utilities, and state government technology initiatives that require industrial and process automation expertise.
Are there remote automation jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 73% of automation openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting strong demand for IT process and DevOps automation roles that do not require a physical presence. Roles involving PLC programming, robotics maintenance, or on-site control systems are almost always in person.
How can I get hired as a automation in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an associate-level IT automation or junior controls technician role, which many New York employers fill from community college graduates or career changers with a relevant certification. Con Edison, National Grid, and large pharmaceutical manufacturers in the Hudson Valley and Long Island run structured technician apprenticeship and rotational programs. Building a portfolio of scripted automation projects or earning a vendor credential from Rockwell or Cisco strengthens a candidate's profile significantly for New York hiring managers.
