Technological innovations like the Internet of Things, 5G wireless networks, robotics, and autonomous system software have created a business environment in which automated devices and thinking machines are now just part of the working landscape. No longer restricted to the factory floor, autonomous systems can be found in offices, retail stores, and homes.

Developing and programming these thinking machines requires the expertise of an autonomous systems engineer. Whether it is designing the hardware or developing the software, an engineer with specific expertise is going to be the one responsible for turning abstract concepts into practical, useful devices and machines.

This customizable hiring kit, written by Mark W. Kaelin for TechRepublic Premium, provides a framework your business can use to find the right person for the job. The kit includes salary details, a job description, interview questions, and a job advert.

DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS, AND SKILLSETS

Autonomous systems engineers need to have skills in researching, designing, developing, programming, and coordinating. Your organization may require expertise to cover the overall process, from research and development to implementation. All this requires a range of personnel, which is why it is so important to know exactly what expertise and experience is needed for your particular project.

As a growing field of study, autonomous systems engineers are likely excited participants, keen to get started with your project. Therefore, candidates who seem disinterested by this field of study, while others are visibly excited, should be avoided at all costs. The prospect of breaking new ground or implementing technological innovations will manifest itself during recruitment.

Because autonomous systems engineers tend to specialize and have expertise in specific fields of study, your advertised job description should specify areas of expertise, roles, and responsibilities. You don’t want to spend time recruiting an engineer with expertise in drones for a job role that requires expertise in IoT temperature sensors, for example.
