Entry Level Process Automation Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level process automation engineer job?
Focus on hands-on proof of work: lab projects, internship deliverables, or independent scripts that automate a real process. Employers at the entry level look for familiarity with PLC programming, SCADA systems, or tools like Python and ladder logic, even from coursework. A clear portfolio that shows you can identify a problem and automate a solution gives you a concrete edge over candidates with only a degree.
Which companies hire entry level process automation engineers?
Companies hiring entry level process automation engineers right now include Cydcor, Elanco, and Saint-Gobain, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, manufacturers, utilities, and systems integrators tend to be the most active, since they build in formal training and are willing to develop junior engineers on the job.
Are there remote entry level process automation engineer jobs?
Yes, though most entry level automation roles involve some on-site work because hands-on equipment access is part of the job. About 40% of entry level process automation engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those tend to be roles focused on software configuration, monitoring dashboards, or systems integration rather than physical plant work.
Are these new grad process automation engineer jobs?
Yes, the listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior process automation engineer roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward that requirement, or explicitly accepts a strong academic project in place of professional history. If a job asks for a portfolio rather than a resume of past employers, that is a reliable signal it is open to new grads.
Which industries hire the most entry level process automation engineers?
Entry Level process automation engineer roles concentrate in Automotive, Science & Research, and Chemicals & Materials, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive entry level hiring because they run continuous or high-volume production processes where even junior automation work reduces downtime and labor costs, making the investment in a new grad worthwhile.
