We’re looking for a few great people to join us in changing the way companies approach automation

ILS Automation is looking for a few great people to join our workforce. We don’t do cookie-cutter work here, our customers are typically looking to build a better control system. They are tired of the out-of-the-box, hard-to-use, and sometimes-works solutions. We aim to over deliver every time, then provide our customers with great support while they tweak and improve their processes.

To be a good fit at ILS, you would need to be the type of individual that likes to take the initiative and doesn’t need to be coddled. Our work environment is flexible. We require individuals that are disciplined and have strong people skills. If you want to learn, create, and solve interesting problems, ILS might be the place for you.
