3 ROBOTICS HOT ELECTROMECHANICAL FIELD SERVICE TECHNICIAN WHAT WILL I DO? MEDIAN SALARY STEM JOBS BY SALARY ROBOTICS MACHINIST You operate on customer sites in an on-call capacity. Duties include installing and repairing robots and robotic systems, and training customers on how to maintain them. You perform trial tests of the robots to ensure performance rates and quality to meet established You make the parts that make the robots, and likely use robots or at least programmable machines to make the parts. The world of Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Machining is changing with the advent of new technologies and especially 3D printing. $40,000 $46,000 AUTOMATION CONTROL SPECIALIST BIO-MEDICAL ROBOTICIST MECHANICAL DESIGNER DATA TECHNOLOG You set up new programs and You work hand-in-hand with machine and robot operators and clinicians tasks. Additional activities will include troubleshooting programs to get machines running at desired capacity and reprogram or operate in high-pressure situations. You are the mind behind the machine, and few robotics environments are transforming more rapidly than in the You create machines, products and new technologies, or at least their physical You leverage y technical skills, business acumen and creativity to extract and analyze massive data sets and have it ma sense. All the data in the world is meaningless if it cannot be conv to actionable knowledge. $54,000 $56,000 work as part of a mechanical design team to design, build, the most advanced dynamic robots on the planet. $58,000 $60,000 Jobs, Projects, Activities, Experiments, Challenges

16 STEM positions on average take nearly a month longer to fill source: July,2014: Still Searching: Job Vacancies and STEM Skills by, Jonathan Rothwell, Brookings Institute

Specific high-value skills requested by employers and common to STEM occupations are particularly scarce relative to demand, and particularly valuable to employers.
