Custom factory automation and test systems for precision manufacturing
Progressive Machine and Design builds turnkey automation solutions—robotics, vision systems, and integrated controls—for high-precision industries like life sciences and transportation. The tech stack is deeply rooted in legacy industrial protocols (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Fanuc, EtherCAT, Modbus) with CAD and PLCs at the core, reflecting a company focused on integration and custom builds rather than software products. Hiring is engineering-heavy (24 of 43 active roles) and accelerating, with mid-to-senior engineers dominating the funnel—a pattern consistent with scaling design and build capacity against documented constraints in design hours and schedule.
