Controls Engineer – Automation & Robotics (6 Openings)

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

Mechanical Assembler – Structural Enclosures

Pay: up to $30/hr

Shift: 1st Shift | Start as early as 6:00 AM

Type: Ongoing Contract (Strong potential for long-term or direct hire)

We are seeking a hands-on Mechanical Assembler to support the structural build of large industrial enclosure units. This is not a light assembly role—this position focuses on the full structural build process, starting with steel framework and finishing with the installation of exterior components such as siding, doors, and windows.

Candidates with structural assembly, construction, carpentry, or metal fabrication backgrounds are highly encouraged to apply. If you take pride in building things that are square, level, and built to last, this is a great opportunity to put your skills to work in a manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Structural Assembly: Build large industrial enclosure units using heavy steel weldments and framework.
• Exterior Installation: Install siding, commercial doors, and windows using proper construction and sealing techniques.
• Blueprint Interpretation: Read and interpret mechanical drawings and blueprints to ensure proper assembly and tolerances.
• Precision Layout: Use measuring tools and leveling techniques to ensure enclosures are square, aligned, and weather-tight.
• Material Handling: Assist with positioning heavy steel frames and moving completed units within the facility.
• Quality & Efficiency: Maintain a strong sense of urgency while ensuring high-quality workmanship.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in structural assembly, fabrication, construction, or carpentry
• Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints or fabrication drawings
• Experience installing siding, windows, doors, or structural components
• Familiarity with industrial fasteners, sealants, and installation techniques
• Must have a basic personal tool set (impact driver, tape measure, levels, wrenches, etc.)
• Strong communication and organization skills
• Basic electrical experience is a plus, but not required

Why This Role?

• Opportunity to work on large, custom-built industrial units
• Hands-on role where craftsmanship and precision matter
• Stable first shift schedule
• Potential to transition into a long-term or permanent position

If you enjoy building and assembling large structural systems and want to be part of a team that creates complex industrial equipment, we’d like to connect with you.
