Robotics Controls Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a robotics controls engineer?

To thrive as a Robotics Controls Engineer, you need a strong background in control systems, robotics, mechanical or electrical engineering, and typically a relevant bachelor's or master's degree. Familiarity with programming languages (such as C++, Python, or MATLAB), PLCs, and simulation tools like ROS or LabVIEW is essential, and certifications in robotics or automation can be beneficial. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication skills help you collaborate across multidisciplinary teams and address complex engineering challenges. These skills are critical for designing, implementing, and optimizing advanced robotic systems that perform reliably and efficiently in real-world applications.

What is the difference between Robotics Controls Engineer vs Automation Engineer?

AspectRobotics Controls EngineerAutomation Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Engineering, certifications in robotics or control systemsBachelor's in Engineering, certifications in automation or control systems
Work EnvironmentRobotics labs, manufacturing plants, research facilitiesManufacturing, process industries, industrial settings
Industry UsageRobotics development, manufacturing automationProcess automation, industrial systems
Search IntentRobotics controls, robot programming, control systemsAutomation systems, process control, industrial automation

Robotics Controls Engineers focus on designing and implementing control systems specifically for robots and robotic applications, often working in robotics labs or manufacturing environments. Automation Engineers have a broader scope, working on automating industrial processes across various industries. While both roles require control system knowledge and similar certifications, Robotics Controls Engineers specialize in robotic systems, whereas Automation Engineers work on a wider range of automation solutions.

What does a robotics controls engineer do?

A Robotics Controls Engineer designs, develops, and implements control systems that enable robots to perform specific tasks accurately and efficiently. They work on programming algorithms, integrating sensors, and managing the electrical and mechanical systems that allow robots to move and interact with their environment. These engineers often collaborate with other engineering disciplines to create automated solutions for industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics.

What are common challenges faced by robotics controls engineers when integrating new robotics systems into existing manufacturing environments?

Robotics Controls Engineers often encounter challenges such as ensuring compatibility with legacy equipment, managing communication between diverse hardware and software platforms, and minimizing production downtime during integration. Adapting control algorithms to work seamlessly with existing processes can require significant troubleshooting and customization. Effective collaboration with cross-functional teams, such as mechanical engineers and production staff, is crucial to address these challenges and achieve a smooth transition.

Job description

About Machina Labs:

Engineering moves at software speed. Manufacturing doesn't. Yet. 

Machina Labs is changing that. We build intelligent, software-defined factories that produce complex metal structures directly from digital design. By integrating advanced metal forming, robotics, and automated production inside a flexible factory architecture, we enable customers to move from prototype to production in weeks, not years. 

Backed by Lockheed Martin, Toyota, and NVIDIA, we're building the manufacturing infrastructure that defense, aerospace, and advanced mobility programs will run on. 

If you want to work on hard problems that matter and see them fly, drive, and defend, this is the place. 

Job Description:

Machina Labs is seeking a Robotics Automation Engineer in Test to own quality, validation, and release execution across our robotics and industrial automation software stack as we deploy and scale production cells.

This role is responsible for defining and enforcing quality strategy for robotics and automation systems, validating release candidates, and supporting deployments to production cells. You will work hands-on with physical systems, running tests and experiments on cells, supporting issue triage, and acting as a gatekeeper for production releases. This position operates closely with robotics, controls, and software teams and has the authority to approve the transition from release candidate to official release.

The ideal candidate combines strong robotics and automation engineering fundamentals with a disciplined approach to testing, validation, and production readiness in hardware-integrated environments.

Key Responsibilities:

 

  • Own and drive quality strategy for the robotics and industrial automation software stack, including ROS2, C++, Python, Beckhoff TwinCAT, and Structured Text PLCs.
  • Define, formalize, and maintain test plans, validation procedures, and release criteria for robotics and automation systems.
  • Execute smoke tests, system validation, and acceptance testing of release candidates on production cells.
  • Serve as release authority, approving or blocking promotion from release candidate to official production release.
  • Deploy software and automation releases to production cells and support rollout activities.
  • Automate testing and validation workflows to improve coverage, reliability, and release velocity.
  • Run tests and experiments on production and development cells, independently or in collaboration with robotics and automation engineers.
  • Triage and support cell-level issues, performing initial investigation and escalating to engineering teams as needed.
  • Partner with Software Engineers in Test when required, including large release validation, user support, feedback collection, and extended testing efforts.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of testing, deployment, and validation processes as the platform scales.
Basic Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or comparable practical experience.
  • Experience testing software systems, including writing test scripts or test code.
  • Hands-on experience with automated testing frameworks or tools.
  • Ability to debug issues across software and automation interfaces.
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience testing industrial automation systems, robotics, or hardware-software integrated products.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, versioned deployments, and release validation.
  • Experience supporting deployments and troubleshooting issues in production environments.
  • Background working in small, fast-moving engineering teams where quality ownership is critical.
 
*This job description is not designed to cover or contain a comprehensive listing of activities, duties, or responsibilities required for this role. Duties and responsibilities may change based on business needs.
$115,000 - $135,000 a year
Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, qualifications, and geographic location. 
 
In addition to the provided base salary range, comprehensive benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision), PTO, and Stock Options.
Machina Labs is an Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity employer and considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or status as a protected veteran in accordance with state and federal law.
