A little background: I’m 29, bachelors in EE from a decent state college with six years of experience in PMSM motor control algorithm development for safety critical automotive applications. Over the last year I’ve been trying to figure out how to maximize my earning potential and get out of automotive and into space and defense while building upon my experience.

Fast forward to today. This fall I will be starting a masters in robotics and autonomous systems at John’s Hopkins and I’m a bit concerned with some of the sentiment on here as of late. Is the robotics industry that hard to get into? I’m concerned I’m making a huge mistake monetarily speaking. What are some of the jobs people are seeing? I would optimally want to work on stand alone robots, obvious examples would be spot and atlas (as opposed to robotic arms/ industrial robotics, I don’t want to work in manufacturing) is this even feasible or realistic?

I would love anyone’s opinion or experience and thank you in advance for any responses!!

Cheers

Hey everyone I will be starting a year long rotational program for school in September and will not have medical insurance through an employer or the school I will be in a new place basically every month. I’m wondering if anyone else has been through this experience and what did they do about it. I’m based in the US.

Hey everyone, I’m wondering if any of you have done the John’s Hopkins masters program in robotics and autonomous systems. I’m slated to begin in the fall and was wondering what to expect as far as work load. I plan on taking two classes a semester.

Cheers!
