The Beijing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau recently issued the “Trial Measures for the Evaluation of Professional Titles in Robotics” (the “Measures”), establishing a dedicated robotics category within the engineering professional title system to better align talent evaluation with industry needs.
The Measures outline a full-chain, multi-tiered evaluation framework for robotics talent, organized into four key areas: core components, algorithms and software, complete machine design and manufacturing, and system integration and applications. This ensures a precise match between talent assessment and industrial demand. The professional title hierarchy is standardized across four levels—junior (assistant engineer), intermediate (engineer), senior (senior engineer), and top senior (principal senior engineer)—providing a clear, full-cycle career development pathway from emerging professionals to leading industry experts.
