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.
The role: Sunrise Robotics is building a new category of intelligent, flexible robotic automation - designed to scale across factories, not just solve one-off integrations. As a Forward Deploy Engineer, you’ll be at the front lines of that transformation.
This is a unique role that sits between product and deployment. You’ll work directly with customers to deliver automation solutions in real production environments, while continuously improving how those solutions are packaged, standardised, and scaled. The challenge is not simply delivering systems - it’s helping turn delivery into a repeatable, efficient, productised capability.
You’ll bring practical experience from traditional automation or system integration and apply it to a new model: scalable deployment powered by Sunrise tools, products, and processes. Your work will directly shape how we refine our offering for customers and our roadmap for product teams to reduce non-recurring engineering effort and speed market adoption.
