Knott Laboratory

Knott Laboratory is a Centennial-based forensic engineering firm led by Stanley Stoll, CEO. The company brings together structural and mechanical engineers, fire and explosion investigators, visualization specialists, accident reconstructionists and digital media forensics experts, allowing case teams to match technical depth with the needs of each client. Over decades, Knott Laboratory built a reputation for end-to-end service that includes investigation, analysis, visual production and expert witness testimony.

The firm’s history reflects steady expansion of capabilities and a people-first workplace. Recruiting programs target candidates from diverse backgrounds and career stages, including nontraditional students and second-career professionals, and offers flexible time-off policies that accommodate religious and cultural observances. The company partners with highly tenured, semi-retired contributors who mentor active staff, and sustains a commitment to hiring and supporting veterans across functions.

Today, Knott Laboratory focuses on complex forensic assignments and courtroom support while investing in continuous learning. An in-house Leadership Development Institute offers micro-training, book clubs, seminars and lunch-and-learns. Friday continuing education is open to all roles, encouraging cross-disciplinary growth, alongside mentoring, job shadowing and certification preparation. Benefits include parental and adoption support, flexible schedules and retirement programs that include profit-sharing and an employee stock ownership plan.

Employees describe Knott Laboratory as flexible, innovative and family-centered. Team members said they value the trust to manage schedules for school pickups and community commitments, the encouragement to test new ideas in a “fail small” culture and robust professional development that includes regular continuing education and tuition support. Recognition programs, peer-to-peer shout-outs and “Mock Trial Day” reinforce a collaborative, growth-minded environment.
