Mechatronics involves mechanical, electronic, computer, robotic, and control systems. There is a high demand in our region for individuals with mechatronics skills, and there are well-paying jobs in this field.  Mechatronics Technicians assist in the design, development, repair, and maintenance of electronic/robotic systems and individual components that support advanced manufacturing. In SUNY Corning Community College's two-year Mechatronics AAS program, hands-on learning is highlighted in an equipment lab modeling a multi-stage assembly line similar to the one pictured above. Regional (Hilliard’s, Hardinge, Upstate Milk, Cameron Manufacturing, etc.) and global corporations (Corning Inc., Lockheed Martin, Dresser-Rand/Siemens, Pladis Global, etc.) are some of the employers.

The average Mechatronics Technician salary in the U.S. is $61,425.
