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.
What you’ll do:
We’re building a new category of intelligent, flexible robotic automation with real deployments, real customers, and momentum across Europe.

What you’ll do:
- Deploy Sunrise robotic systems in live manufacturing environments, ensuring successful customer go-lives
- Translate real-world production constraints into structured feedback that improves product capabilities and deployment workflows
- Identify opportunities to reduce non-recurring engineering effort and improve delivery scalability
- Contribute to the refinement of Sunrise’s tools, processes, and system architecture to enable repeatable deployments
- Collaborate closely with AI, robotics, product, and commercial teams to align customer needs with product evolution
- Support pilot launches and early deployments, ensuring systems meet defined performance and operational success criteria
- Act as a technical partner to customers during integration, building trust and ensuring long-term success
- Provide technical support to customers during troubleshooting and maintenance of deployed robotic systems
- Investigate and respond to operational incidents or anomalies in robotic systems, ensuring timely resolution and system reliability
- A genuine drive to reinvent how flexible automation solutions are delivered and scaled across manufacturing environments
- Hands-on experience deploying robotic systems and automated machinery in real-world industrial settings
- Strong understanding of robotics fundamentals and familiarity with deep learning models, including how they can be adapted or re-trained for specific applications
- Working knowledge of synthetic data generation concepts, simulation environments such as NVIDIA Isaac Sim / Omniverse, and structured quality assurance processes
- Experience with ROS 2 and Behaviour Tree programming for robotic system control
- An abstract, systems-level thinker who can view problems from multiple perspectives and generalise solutions across different applications
- Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams across AI, mechanical, electrical, and software engineering
- Strong communication skills, able to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- A deep passion for robotics, automation, and building intelligent systems that transform manufacturing
- Experience in collaborative applications.
- Experience with ABB SafeMove.
- Experience with TIA portal.
- Experience with radar-based safety.
- Experience with safety analysis tools.
We’re building a new category of intelligent, flexible robotic automation with real deployments, real customers, and momentum across Europe.
- Why this role: You’ll operate at the intersection of product and deployment, helping transform automation delivery from bespoke integration to scalable, repeatable systems.
- Career acceleration: High ownership, deep cross-functional exposure, and the opportunity to shape how a category-defining robotics company scales globally.
- Real impact: Your work won’t stay in simulation or design reviews - it will run on real factory floors, directly influencing product evolution, customer success, and company trajectory.
