RISE Robotics is an equal-opportunity employer that values diversity at all levels. All individuals, regardless of personal characteristics, are encouraged to apply.
The RISE Robotics team includes award-winning engineers, designers,
and serial entrepreneurs with more than 40 years of expertise. Our team
has developed an alternative to hydraulic systems – a fluid-free electro-
mechanical linear actuator that delivers the same power, lift capacity, and
stroke length with reduced overall maintenance requirements. RISE’s linear
actuator technology enables OEMs to design fleets of fully electric, durable
sustainable, and precise heavy-duty machinery for a cleaner, emissions
free future.RISE Robotics’ technology disrupts how linear actuators are engineered and makes the shift from diesel to electric systems possible, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible. Linear actuators create the push-and-pull movements in the mechanisms of heavy machinery which are essential for lifting and loading materials across many industries, including: construction, agriculture, and waste management. Without linear actuators excavators couldn’t dig, garbage trucks couldn’t crush, and forklifts couldn’t lift. We have a strong culture at RISE Robotics where we live by the following values:Safety: We prioritize product safety for our customers, and physical and psychological safety for our employees.Customer Focus: We focus on internal and external customer needs and strive to meet cost, schedule, quality, and performance targets using RISE Robotics products and technologyCollaboration: We endeavor to find win-win outcomes through cooperation, assertiveness, and flexibility wherever possible.Continuous Improvement: We believe in being the best, striving for greatness one step at a time.Energizing: We commit to being a positive force in the world, delighting our customers and inspiring our employees and peersIf you are the type of person who would board a cruise ship and go for a tour of the engine room, who values ingenuity, and understanding how things work, please get in touch. We are looking for you.
