Job opportunities vary from state to state, and architecture and engineering careers are no different. Because we know how difficult it can be to know which states are the best when it comes to robotics engineer jobs, we decided to crunch some numbers to bring you the best states for robotics engineers.Although there are abundant robotics engineer jobs in the United States, a large number of them are in the Midwest. California is the best state in the country for robotics engineer jobs.
To do that, we looked at the most recent data we have available for the following criteria -- average annual wages, and availability of jobs for robotics engineers.We found that the Midwest is best for robotics engineers, and the West is the worst. San Francisco, CA is the best city in the country for robotics engineer jobs, where as California is the best state in the country.

Expert opinions on the best states for robotics engineers
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for robotics engineers to find work opportunities?
Jared Wilson
Assistant Professor and Faculty Coordinator, East Tennessee State University
Within the field of land surveying and related employment opportunities, work is available. However, in my experience, work may not be in the exact location a person wishes to live. So, a move may be necessary, or potentially traveling to where the work is located. Should a graduate, or person for that matter, want to work, work is available.
