What robotics engineers make
Typical
$122,930
Entry level
$66,810
Senior or staff engineer
$189,950
The national median is $122,930 a year, and the bottom tenth start near $66,810. The federal wage survey has no separate box for robotics, so this comes from the robotics engineer profile sitting inside a catch-all group called Engineers, All Other. Factory automation pays the lower half of this range. Self-driving cars, surgical robots and warehouse autonomy pay the top half.
