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 Stanley Black & Decker, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 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, Martin, and Lebanon 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.
How can I get hired as a robotics professional in Tennessee with little or no experience?
