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.

• Develop robot control and trajectory planning algorithms, selecting the right approach to support advanced robot control in the short and longer term.

• Sim2Real: Reduce the simulation-to-reality gap developing motion planning and control solutions that can be run in simulation and on the real robot.

• Provide your input on the hardware that needs to be installed to provide optimal results.

• Contribute to develop, with the robotics team, a production robotics system deployed in the field at the customer sites, working across the full stack.

• Work with the engineering teams to collaboratively transform research insights and latest developments into practical, deployable solutions.

Who you are:

• Extensive and demonstrable experience in developing trajectory planning for robotic manipulators
• Demonstrable experience is architecting complex object oriented software systems which run on the physical hardware
• Experience developing production-level code deployed in the field following an established software development lifecycle
• Excellent software development skills in python
• Knowledgeable about trajectory planning and path planning algorithms for robotic manipulators
• Demonstrable experience using state of the art software development tools and practices (eg Git, code reviews etc)
• Master’s degree in robotics or similar field or equivalent work experience
• Readiness to participate in on-site bring-up or troubleshooting when required, keen to collaborate with deploy and operational support specialists to ensure system stability
• Collaborative team player, comfortable to work remotely and proactive communicator.
