Hey everyone!
I hope you're all doing well. I’ve been curious about the work setup for robotics engineers, especially in our new world of remote work. With so many jobs going online, I wonder if robotics engineering is one of them. Can robotics engineers work from home, or do they need to be in a lab or a specific workplace?
I imagine there are tasks like programming and designing that could be done remotely. But what about the hands-on work with robots? How do companies handle that? Do they have remote labs, or do engineers need to go in for those parts?
If anyone here is a robotics engineer or knows about the field, I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. How has your work setup changed in recent times? What tools and software make it easier for you to work remotely? Any tips for those considering a career in robotics who also want the flexibility of working from home?
Looking forward to hearing from you all!
Cheers!
Yes, robotics engineers can work from home for tasks like programming and designing. However, hands-on work with robots usually needs to be done in a lab or specific workplace. Some companies have remote labs or allow engineers to come in only for the hands-on parts.
Tools like simulation software and remote collaboration tools help make remote work easier. If you're considering a career in robotics and want flexibility, focus on roles that emphasize design and programming.
Hope this helps!
