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: As a Senior Robotics Control Engineer you have a key role in the architecture and design of the robot motion control and planning system. You will be directing and executing the implementation of advanced motion control and planning algorithms and the overall architecture that would make the system scalable and able to support the future needs of our clients.
Your work will have a direct impact on robots deployed in the field developing one of the key components of Sunrise’s robotic systems. You will contribute directly to our production systems leaving a true mark on real world applications of our technology.
What you will do:
Perform research and development in the following areas:
Design and direct the implementation of the robot control and trajectory planning system.
