Full Job Description

OUR MISSION: At Sunrise Robotics, we are dedicated to augmenting humanity through intelligent robotics. Our mission is to elevate the world of manufacturing by introducing intelligent, flexible robots that enhance human capabilities and existing machinery, ushering in the next era of production at higher quality, with less waste, and lower cost. OUR VISION: We see a future where every element of manufacturing, from design to assembly, is optimised with intelligent automation. Our vision is to integrate flexible robotic solutions, based on generic hardware and advanced software/AI capabilities, into manufacturing, particularly in small and medium-sized enterprises, to make automation economically viable and accessible, for all sizes of manufacturers. We are not just building robots; we are creating the strategically crucial components for autonomous, intelligent agents of the future. ABOUT THE ROLE: Work on real robots, not prototypes. This is a hands-on role focused on building and deploying systems that operate reliably in live production environments. You’ll take ownership of customer deployments from integration through to sign-off, solving engineering challenges across robotics software, system integration, and field performance. Your work will run on real hardware, under real constraints, and needs to hold up in continuous operation. You’ll be involved across the full lifecycle - from understanding customer requirements to delivering robust, production-ready systems on-site - while contributing to how we improve and scale deployments over time. WHAT YOU’LL DO: - Develop and customise robotic behaviours for customer deployments by extending existing platform components (e.g. behaviour trees) - Implement missing functionality and resolve complex software and system integration issues critical to successful deployments - Perform advanced troubleshooting, debugging, and root-cause analysis across robotics software, hardware, networking, and system integrations in l
