Ex-engineers who understand the engineering behind the hire.
TechNex Talent is a specialist technical search partner operating within the US robotics, automation and industrial engineering market.
We support engineering-led companies building complex, real-world systems, from robotics platforms and embedded software through to advanced control, automation and safety-critical environments.
Our focus is deliberate. We recruit within defined, high-consequence disciplines where technical judgement matters, including automation engineering, controls and PLC, embedded software, robotics software and industrial systems.
We focus on specialist technical markets
- Automation engineering and controls
- PLC, SCADA, HMI and industrial systems
- Robotics and machine vision
- Embedded software and firmware
- Systems integration and engineering leadership
Specialist recruitment for complex engineering environments
We are not a generalist firm. Our work is built around technical understanding, disciplined market mapping and careful validation before candidates are introduced.
Elite Access
We proactively map specialist automation, robotics, embedded and industrial engineering markets to identify strong engineers and technical leaders, including passive professionals not visible through job adverts.
Integrity Assurance
In a market increasingly affected by AI-generated resumes and proxy interviews, validation matters. We look for substance, individual contribution and technical credibility before you interview.
Expert Technical Matching
We understand the difference between controls, PLC, robotics, firmware, integration, commissioning and engineering software roles, helping us distinguish real capability from keyword matching.
Strategic Alignment
With signed terms, we operate as an external extension of your technical hiring function, supporting salary insight, competitor movement intelligence and disciplined talent pipeline development.
We do not rely on job adverts alone.
The strongest engineers in automation, controls, robotics and embedded systems are often already employed, involved in active programmes and not applying online.
That means the search needs to be more precise. We look at the systems, technologies, project environment, commercial pressure and hiring process around the role before approaching the market.
Our aim is not simply to send more resumes. It is to help employers identify, engage and secure people who can genuinely succeed in the technical environment they are joining.
Better searches start with better market understanding.
For hard-to-fill technical roles, the market often needs to be understood before it is approached. Who employs the right people? What skills are realistic? What salary range will attract attention? What will passive candidates need to hear?
What deeper search work can include
For retained or priority searches, TechNex can support employers with deeper hiring intelligence before and during outreach.
- Competitor talent mapping
- Salary benchmarking insight
- Candidate availability signals
