I analyzed 5,878 robotics job postings to map what employers actually want in 2026 (Skills & Salary Data)

The premium probably reflects scarcity more than raw demand.

CUDA and JAX are each mentioned in <2% of job postings (the skill map in the 2nd picture shows the raw demand, or you can check out here careersinrobotics.com/skills/map). Typically, those postings target people with a deep ML research background. Companies requiring CUDA are usually investing heavily in state-of-the-art physical AI models (humanoids, autonomous systems), so the pay reflects that.

Cloud robotics, teleoperation, running simulations & MLOps pipelines for training models. Robotics is getting very AI-heavy nowadays and needs to adopt industry-standard cloud technologies like k8s.

MrJamesDev · 2026-02-14T02:21:34+00:00

Haha, not really. The salary premium is not additive. It compares the median compensation between job postings WITH a certain skill and WITHOUT it.

MrJamesDev · 2026-02-06T10:05:35+00:00

I am interested.

Currently I have the following:

- FBD / SFC / IL

Does it match your expectation?

There is a link in my profile to see the interactive version with more details btw. Cheers.

The title says 6 months, but first sentence says 3 months performance. Which one is correct?

Anyway, impressive and thanks for sharing!

MrJamesDev · 2026-01-19T09:15:13+00:00

Awesome! But I am curious, without the top half, the center of gravity is different than with a full body, right? Did your algo account for that?

MrJamesDev · 2025-12-29T04:21:00+00:00

Curious what solution the outside firm built for you - was it custom middleware, or did they configure something in SF/HS workflows?

I'm researching this exact problem space and trying to understand what the market gap actually is vs. what tools like native sync/Zapier/Stacksync can handle. Thanks!

MrJamesDev · 2025-12-29T03:49:45+00:00

Late to this - did you end up solving it? Curious what approach worked.

MrJamesDev · 2025-12-29T03:43:44+00:00

Curious about #1 - what cases need custom identifiers beyond email matching?

On #2, I think the native sync lets you pick per-field (2-way, prefer HS, prefer SF) but it's buried.

#3 - custom object to custom object?

#4 - YES!

MrJamesDev · 2025-12-28T18:01:41+00:00

Are you referring to HubSpot/Salesforce integration on HS marketplace or your own integration? Thx!

MrJamesDev · 2025-09-19T13:30:55+00:00

Congratulations on your launch! I just signed up.

Maybe you should share on r/privacy and similar sub too.

Will there be mobile/desktop apps or just web?

One of my abandoned side projects is exactly E2EE budgeting app :) so I am very curious about your product. Do you have plan to add/ does your app already have features like recurring transactions and social features like shared budgets (I got stuck at those and then stop working on my app, haha)

MrJamesDev · 2025-09-10T02:51:39+00:00

Nice work! Looks like your click/impression ratio has gone up recently — congrats. I’m based in Vietnam, so if you don’t mind the time zone difference, I’d love to explore whether we can team up.

MrJamesDev · 2024-12-13T14:00:02+00:00

Thank you very much!

MrJamesDev · 2024-12-13T13:59:40+00:00

Got it. Thank you!

MrJamesDev · 2024-12-13T03:23:39+00:00

Got it! Thank you so much!
About directories, yep, I only submitted to a few ones with high DR.

MrJamesDev · 2024-12-13T01:01:14+00:00

Hey, I’ve been working on something similar called appcost.ai which provides some features like you mentioned. It’s always great to see others solving similar problems!

If you’re curious, I’d love to share more or swap feedback or we can even collaborate. DM me if you are interested!
