[Hiring] Robotics Application Engineer @Sunrise Robotics Corporation

Role Description

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 live production environments.
• Diagnose and resolve deployment-critical issues across manipulation, motion planning, perception, and execution pipelines.
• Perform hands-on integration, validation, and stress testing on real robotic hardware.
• Integrate systems using ROS2 across the full execution pipeline, from perception and motion to PLC interfaces.
• Own deployment readiness, including technical sign-off, delivery planning, and effort estimation.
• Collaborate with Field Deployment, AI, and Simulation teams to ensure smooth execution.
• Contribute to documentation, deployment processes, and engineering best practices.

Qualifications

• Experience developing robotics software using ROS2 and simulation frameworks (e.g. Isaac Sim or similar).
• Strong programming skills in Python.
• Experience working with robotic manipulators, end-effectors, and real-world robotic manipulation systems.
• Experience designing robot behaviours using behaviour trees or similar frameworks.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills across distributed robotic systems, including software, hardware, and integration issues.
• Experience diagnosing and resolving complex deployment issues in production robotic environments.
• Experience supporting or delivering production-grade robotic systems in the field.
• Ability to collaborate across teams and communicate clearly in technical contexts.
• Ability to work within real-world constraints, timelines, and cross-team dependencies.
• Experience documenting systems and managing issues through to resolution.

Requirements

• Familiarity with NVIDIA Omniverse, Isaac Sim, or similar simulation platforms.
• Experience using Docker for building, deploying, and managing robotics software systems.

Benefits

• High exposure: Work directly with founders and leadership on decisions that shape the company’s trajectory.
• Career acceleration: Develop deep, end-to-end expertise across robotics software, system integration, and real-world deployments - with clear pathways into technical leadership, deployment strategy, or broader ownership across the robotics stack.
• Real impact: Own and deliver customer deployments end-to-end, with your work directly determining system performance, reliability, and successful go-live in production environments.
