When I attended Automate in Chicago a few weeks ago, several people thanked me for TechCrunch's semi-regular robotics jobs report. I always learn from receiving direct feedback.
While it's true that the industry has experienced ups and downs in recent years, both in terms of funding and employment, there has never been a more exciting time for robotics. Whether in established categories like manufacturing and fulfillment or emerging areas like humanoids and home robots, things are moving faster than ever before.
But what surprises me most when compiling these lists is not just the fact that there are more openings each time. That is also the breadth of the categories currently covered by robotics. Robotics will impact every aspect of our lives in the near future, so it's the perfect time to get involved in space.
