Unfortunately we don't have standardized roles in this industry.

Jobs like these tend to touch one of a couple spaces.

Controls engineering: PLC programming and traditional robotics
Fleetops, application engineer, or operations engineer: I've seen these show up at places like Boston dynamics
Technical support: look for ones that mention wanting like a EE and knowing stuff about control systems.
SCADA engineer: Especially at tech startups.

In general you're looking for jobs that reference a mixture of networking, control systems, SCADA, DCS, PLC, IT infra, and of course robotics.

My entire team is 30+, hard to find people with a diverse background that are also 22.
