Robotic engineering involves designing, manufacturing, and applying robotics technology. It is an interdisciplinary field that incorporates electronics, software, and mechanics. Robotic engineers may design new robotic systems or inspect existing systems used by major clients. The salary of a robotic engineer ranges from $30,000 to $65,000 annually for an entry-level or experienced engineer, and can be as high as $100,000 annually for those with 10 to 15 years of experience. A bachelor's degree in robotic engineering is required at a minimum, which typically takes 4 to 5 years of study, though some obtain higher degrees. Relevant high school courses include science, math, and computer classes.
