Robotics Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a robotics professional in Tennessee?
Most robotics roles in Tennessee require a bachelor's degree in robotics engineering, mechatronics, electrical engineering, or a related discipline, though associate degree holders with strong hands-on skills are hired into technician roles. Tennessee does not issue a state-specific robotics license, so employers emphasize manufacturer certifications from platforms like FANUC or ABB alongside a demonstrated record of working with industrial automation systems in a production setting.
How much do roboticses make in Tennessee?
Roboticses in Tennessee earn a median of about $64,720 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $51,410 for the lowest 10% to over $85,490 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire robotics professionals in Tennessee?
Employers hiring robotics professionals in Tennessee right now include Amazon, Rinvio, and Accenture, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Tennessee's dense concentration of automotive and advanced manufacturing plants, particularly in Middle and East Tennessee, drives consistent demand for robotics talent year-round.
Which Tennessee cities have the most robotics jobs?
Nashville, Louisville, and Vonore are the cities with the most robotics openings in Tennessee. Nashville's expanding logistics and healthcare technology sectors anchor hiring in Middle Tennessee, while Chattanooga and Smyrna benefit from major automotive and advanced manufacturing facilities, including large assembly plants that run extensive automated production lines.
Are there remote robotics jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. About 50% of robotics openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how hands-on the work tends to be in manufacturing and production environments. The roles most likely to carry a remote or hybrid component are simulation engineering, robotics software development, and systems architecture positions that don't require daily floor presence.
How can I get hired as a robotics professional in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an associate degree in automation technology or industrial electronics from a Tennessee College of Applied Technology, paired with a manufacturer certification. Large Tennessee employers like Volkswagen in Chattanooga and Nissan in Smyrna hire automation technician apprentices and co-op students. Entry-level titles such as maintenance technician or controls technician trainee are common first steps, and a capstone project or documented lab experience with a robot arm strengthens any application significantly.
Where can I find and apply to robotics jobs in Tennessee?
You can find and apply to robotics jobs in Tennessee on Migrate Mate, which lists current Tennessee openings across the state's manufacturing, logistics, and technology sectors. Find roles that fit your experience and location and apply directly from each listing.
