Automate America is a leading global marketplace for contracting Universal Robots programmers, connecting thousands of industrial automation professionals — including UR-certified programmers across UR3, UR5, UR10, UR16, and UR20 platforms on both CB3 and e-Series controllers — with machine shops, OEMs, contract manufacturers, system integrators, and end-of-line packaging buyers for hourly contracts, direct-hire jobs, and large-scale RFQ projects on $500K+ scope. Posting is free for every work type; the only paid product is White Glove managed staffing, which carries W-2 payroll and certificates of insurance for the buyer. Coverage is worldwide; in the US, density concentrates in Michigan, Texas, California, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and North Carolina — UR density tracks the small-and-mid-payload machine-tending, electronics assembly, and finishing-cell deployments concentrated across those corridors. Buyers filter by exact UR model and by controller generation, then layer skill tags for PolyScope teach-pendant operation, URScript scripting, URCap development (Java-based plugin authoring), force-torque sensing with the built-in 6-axis sensor, vision integration via the UR built-in camera or third-party Cognex and Keyence systems, machine-tending workflows on CNC mills and lathes, palletizing patterns, finishing applications (deburring, polishing, sanding), and dispensing tasks. Functional-safety configuration is a distinct skill tag — buyers running shared-space cobot deployments can filter on contractors fluent in soft-axis and plane-based safety setup. Profiles include hourly rate, completed cobot cells, URCap shipping history, peer reviews (824 on platform), and endorsements.
