To address the need for diverse job seekers to find fulfilling tech careers and for robotics companies to grow, MassTLC and MassRobotics are hosting a career fair on May 19.

One of the biggest challenges facing the growing robotics industry is connecting talent with the right opportunities. On Wednesday, May 19, 2021, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. (Eastern), MassRobotics and MassTLC are hosting a virtual career fair for those interested in careers in robotics and artificial intelligence.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there are currently 132,500 robotics engineers in the U.S. Projections show a 9% job market growth from 2016 through 2026.

The virtual career fair is intended for all industry job seekers, including both recent graduates and seasoned engineers, computer scientists, vision specialists, mechatronics experts, AI professionals, and anyone seeking careers at companies delivering hardware and software for robotics and AI.

The event is free to jobseekers; registration is open here.

Virtual career fair includes leading companies

During the career fair, attendees will be able easily navigate from room to room, view available job postings, and meet with representatives from the following robotics and AI companies.

Massachusetts technology hub fosters innovation

“Talent is the No. 1 reason tech companies locate in Massachusetts, and the inability to source enough skilled workers is the No. 1 constraint to growth in the white-hot robotics and AI space,” stated Tom Hopcroft, CEO of the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC). “We're excited to partner with MassRobotics to help increase opportunities for talented job seekers, and we especially encourage women, tech leaders of color, and LGBTQ+ tech leaders to participate.”

MassTLC is a network for tech executives, entrepreneurs, investors and policy leaders. The organization said its mission is to accelerate innovation, growth, and the development of an inclusive tech ecosystem in Massachusetts. It connects people from across the technology landscape, provides access to industry-leading content and ideas, and offers a platform for our members to advance their collective interests.

“We've seen a tremendous uptick in job opportunities from robotics and AI companies across New England,” said Tom Ryden, executive director of MassRobotics. “The pandemic has advanced the adoption of robotics across many fields and companies must staff up to fulfill demand. We're excited to share these opportunities with our networks and the community.”

MassRobotics is the result of the collective efforts of a group of engineers, rocket scientists, and entrepreneurs with a shared vision to create a strong, vibrant robotics and IoT ecosystem in Massachusetts.

MassRobotics said its mission is to help create and scale the next generation of successful robotics and connected devices companies by providing entrepreneurs and innovative robotics and automation startups with the workspace and resources they need to develop, prototype, test, and commercialize their products.
