Jobs in Commerce City, CO

About the role

We're looking for an R&D Machine and Controls Engineer who can do it all—design machinery, wire it up, and program it to work. This is a combination role for someone who moves fast, thinks creatively, and works across mechanical, electrical, and controls without getting stuck in silos. You'll work on custom automation systems, R&D prototypes, experimental equipment, and new manufacturing processes. If you like building complete solutions from concept to commission, this is for you. This range represents the Company’s good faith estimate of the base compensation for this role at the time of posting. Actual compensation will be determined based on several factors, including but not limited to relevant experience, skills, qualifications, internal equity, and geographic location. In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for annual incentive compensation and/or long-term incentives, subject to Company plans.

What you'll bring

• You have 5-10 years of experience building machinery —whether that's design, fabrication, controls, or a mix
• You're comfortable working across mechanical, electrical, and controls disciplines
• You have hands-on PLC programming experience—but you're not stuck in old-school methods
• You understand robotics, motor controls, sensors, HMIs, pneumatics, hydraulics, and large industrial systems
• You can design or modify machine components and then make them work with controls
• You learn fast, adapt quickly, and don't need everything figured out before you start
• You like building, testing, breaking, and improving
• You're open to unconventional solutions and cross-disciplinary collaboration
• Non-traditional backgrounds welcome if you have the right skills and mindset
• You enjoy working in an R&D environment where experimentation and iteration are part of the process
• Industrial robotics experience
• Robotics programming and integration
