Question to working robotics engineers about their job [closed]
The question here is about robotics as a multidisciplinary field combining different engineering disciplines:
The disciplines under question are:
software engineering with c++
machine learning
manual fabrication; i.e. using tools and building physical things
It is commonly understood that robotics combines all three; especially mobile/ground robotics -- warehouse robotics, delivery robots, etc.
My first question is: How often do robotics engineers really work across all three disciplines?
Based on my own career in software development, especially when in a large company, most departments are silo'd, so even in a robotics company, there are teams that only work on machine learning, other teams that only work on software development, and teams that only do fabrication/building.
Perhaps maybe with a young startup, an engineer might wear more than one hat from those. But of course with startups there are always risks involved...
What is the community feedback on this?
I'm sorry, but as @Airuno2L already mentions, this is not really a ROS question.
I'd second his recommendation to post this on something like
r/roboticsor perhaps even Stack Overflow.
