Automation engineers are experts who have the knowledge and ability to design, create, develop and manage machines and systems. Automation engineering focuses on improving the efficiency of various manufacturing and computer processes by automating certain parts of the system. Automation engineers plan and change existing technology so that it needs less human interaction, and they monitor the performance of the changes they make.
Some of the most common skills for an automation engineer include:
• Richard Bradshaw(Director, Friendly Testing)
• David Burns(Core Committer, Selenium; Engineer Manager [Automation & Tools Team], Mozilla)
• Dominik Dary(Creator of Selendroid; Engineering Manager, Adobe Hamburg)
• Jim Evans(Core committer for Selenium; Lead Member of Technical Staff, salesforce.com)
• Dave Haeffner(Chief Arrgonaut, Arrgyle)
• Jason Huggins(Creator, Selenium Software; Co-Founder, Sauce Labs)
Automation is a growing field in technology and manufacturing. As technology continues to improve, more and more tasks are likely to be automated. This means that demand for automation engineers may grow as well. The salary for an automated engineer is usually higher than for other IT professionals, indicating the profession is in demand.
Joint Entrance Examinations (JEE) Main is a national level entrance examination by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission into B.Tech/B.E courses at IITs (Indian Institute of Information Technology), NITs (National Institute of Technology), and other CFTIs (Centrally Funded Technical Institutions).
Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced is conducted every year by the IITs (Indian Institute of Technology) and IISc (Indian Institute of Science) of the country, under the Joint Admission Board (JAB). Admission to all Bachelor’s Degree courses in these institutions is done based on JEE Advanced.
SRM Joint Engineering Entrance Examination (SRMJEEE) is conducted by the SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST). It is a yearly examination conducted for all B.Tech programmes offered by the institute.
This is an online entrance examination conducted by the Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani for admission to all B.E courses offered by the institution.
For M.Tech/M.E in Mechanical and Automation Engineering
The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an examination for postgraduate courses (M.Tech/M.E) in various engineering and science institutes. This exam is jointly conducted by IITs and IISc. These scores are also used by several public sector companies to recruit engineers for different positions.
