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 Senior Industrial Automation Engineer to help design, develop, and deploy the automation systems that power our next-generation robotic manufacturing platform.

In this role, you will work at the intersection of industrial automation, robotics, and software, developing control systems and automation infrastructure that enable our robotic forming cells and advanced manufacturing operations. You will collaborate closely with robotics, mechanical, and software engineers to integrate automation systems, industrial hardware, and software platforms that drive our factory of the future.

This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working on both the controls and software side of automation, building reliable industrial systems while contributing to modern software-driven manufacturing platforms.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design and implement industrial automation systems on top of Beckhoff TwinCAT using Structured Text.
  • Develop and maintain automation software that connects industrial control systems with higher-level software platforms.
  • Integrate industrial robots, sensors, motion systems, and manufacturing equipment into robotic production cells.
  • Develop and support real-time and embedded software components used in industrial automation systems.
  • Help define and maintain scalable automation architecture, including industrial networking, device integration, and system monitoring.
  • Collaborate closely with robotics, mechanical, and software engineering teams to deploy and improve automation systems.
  • Support development of tooling and algorithms related to motion planning, geometry processing, and manufacturing automation.
Required Background & Experience:
  • 5+ years of experience in industrial automation, controls engineering, or robotics systems.
  • Experience with Beckhoff TwinCAT or similar.
  • Strong experience programming PLCs using Structured Text.
  • Familiarity with embedded software development
  • Programming experience with C, C++, or Python.
  • Understanding of industrial robotics systems and automated manufacturing equipment.
  • Ability to work across both industrial controls and modern software development environments.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and comfort working in fast-paced engineering environments.
  • Willingness to learn new technologies and adapt quickly in a rapidly evolving technical environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience working with robotic manufacturing systems or high-tech industrial robotics.
  • Exposure to computational geometry, toolpath generation, or geometric processing.
  • Experience with motion control systems and servo drives.
  • Experience integrating industrial sensors, machine vision, or inspection systems.
  • Experience supporting automation systems from prototype through production deployment.
