Location: Elgin, IL (On-site)
Job Type: Direct Hire | Full-Time
Compensation: $95,000 – $150,000 (up to $160,000 for exceptional experience)
Benefits: Comprehensive benefits starting Day 1 (medical, dental, vision, 401k, stock programs, PTO, holidays)
About the Role
We are expanding our Automation Development team and are seeking Controls Engineers to support the design and build of highly advanced, custom automation and robotic equipment for autonomous vehicle production. This is a hands-on role focused on conceptual, in-house engineered systems—not repetitive builds or catalog automation.
Engineers in this group own projects end-to-end, from early concept and proof-of-principle through programming, debug, factory acceptance testing, and on-site integration. The current flagship project supports a next-generation autonomous vehicle platform, with the first production units already shipped.
This role is ideal for Controls Engineers coming from systems integrators or custom machine builders who enjoy variety, ownership, and technically challenging work.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, program, and debug PLC, HMI/SCADA, robotics, servo, and machine vision systems
- Develop control architectures for custom automation and robotic equipment
- Review electrical schematics and contribute to hardware and network architecture
- Perform system bring-up, debugging, validation, and factory acceptance testing
- Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers, assembly teams, and manufacturing
- Support equipment installation and integration at U.S. manufacturing facilities
Travel
- Typical travel averages 10–25% (historically fluctuates by project)
- Travel is limited to 4 U.S. manufacturing locations (California, Texas, Nevada)
Qualifications
- Experience in custom automation, robotics, or systems integration
- PLC programming experience ( Siemens preferred, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley also acceptable )
- Engineers proficient in Rockwell who are open to transitioning to Siemens are strongly encouraged to apply
- Experience with HMI/SCADA platforms (WinCC, Ignition, FactoryTalk, or similar)
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, Mechatronics, Automation, or related field (or equivalent experience)
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Work on fully conceptual, in-house designs with protected intellectual property
- Exposure to cutting-edge autonomous vehicle and robotics technology
- Projects that most automation houses and integrators never get access to
- Strong compensation, Day-1 benefits, and long-term growth potential
- Collaborative engineering culture with high technical standards and visibility

Do you want to become a surrogate? We are now offering a sign on bonus to all qualified and matched surrogates that sign contracts. The first step is to fill out our surrogate application. A fertility specialist will contact you to continue the process. For intended parents interested in surrogacy to start or grow their families please contact us today. The surrogacy process is complex, but we will be with you every step of the way. Call today to get started.
Women who may have the ability to produce eggs but are unable to use their uterus or do not have a uterus, may consider a surrogate. A donated egg may also be used with the surrogate in the event a woman cannot produce her own eggs or her uterus is not intact or insufficient to carry a pregnancy. In either case, the husband's sperm, if viable, may be used.
Using an egg donor unrelated to the surrogate carrier eliminates any biological tie. The egg of the surrogate is never used as part of the assisted reproduction process, so that a surrogate is never in the position of delivering her own biological child.
The basic requirements of a woman to serve as a surrogate are:
- Emotionally stable
- Responsible
- In good physical health
- Non-smoker
- Has had at least one successful pregnancy
- Is capable of carrying a child to full term
A woman is not required to fall within a particular age range to serve as a surrogate, but most intended parents prefer a surrogate under the age of 40. For more information on surrogacy please see the documents on the left side of this page.
In Texas, there is a judicial process for validating the Gestational Contract (the contract between the intended parents and the surrogate). Included within the various requirements for having a Gestational Contract validated by a Texas court is that the intended parents must be married and the surrogate must have previously carried a child to term. Additionally, there are residency requirements that apply to either the surrogate or the intended parents, but not both.
Compensation for a surrogate services generally starts in the range of $35,000 - $40,000, for base compensation with over all fees up to 70k, in many cases. The amount of compensation is dependent upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the surrogate carries twins, what procedures a surrogate is required to undergo and whether the delivery is vaginally or by cesarean section.
