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.

About The Role

You design how the Sunrise robotic cell fits into a customer's production line. You take a manual process and turn it into a safe, efficient, fully automated robotic cell: you map the process, model the cell in simulation, lay out the floor, prove the cycle time, and define the safety concept.

You sit in Product, on the Solutions team, at the border between a customer's technical strategy and our own product. You own the technical concept behind each proposal, and what you learn from customers feeds directly into where the product goes next.

Winning the deal is the start, not the finish. The fast concept that wins a proposal then has to be refined into a full application design before anything gets built. That design work is the core of the role, and it is where most of your effort goes.

What You'll Do

• Analyze a customer's existing manufacturing process and propose and design a safe, efficient, fully automated solution.

• Model the robotic cell in simulation to validate reachability, find bottlenecks, and prove feasibility.

• Design the placement, footprint, and material flow of the cell from customer data.

• Calculate cycle times, Takt time, and the throughput we can guarantee from real production data.

• Own the technical concept behind each proposal, then refine the winning concept into a complete application design.

• Present the concept, layout, and throughput case to the customer, and fold their feedback into the design.

• Act as the technical voice of Sunrise in customer calls.

• Hand finalized process maps, simulations, and layouts to our internal Deployment team.

• Gather raw data, floor plans, and production requirements directly from customer engineering teams.

• Feed what you learn in the field back into product direction.

What You'll Need

• 5 or more years in automation engineering, robotics integration, or solutions design for manufacturing.

• Strong proficiency in robotic simulation software, such as Process Simulate, Visual Components or similar.

• Solid CAD experience, such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD or similar, for layout and 3D data.

• Proven cycle-time calculation, capacity planning, and manufacturing-data analysis.

• A deep understanding of material flow, lean manufacturing, and process sequencing.

• Clear communication, including presenting technical concepts and layouts directly to customers.

• A base in a CET +/- 3 time zone and eligibility to travel within the Schengen area.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Knowledge of robotic safety standards, such as EN ISO 10218.

• Experience with diverse manufacturing data formats and KPIs.

• Familiarity with gripping technologies, feeding systems, and conveyor integration.

• Exposure to a range of manufacturing environments and production processes.

• Experience with Isaac Sim.

Why Us?

You join as the Solutions team forms, with the scope to shape how Sunrise turns customer problems into robotic cells.

• Direct impact: when a customer's line hits its throughput target on a cell you designed, that is your work.

• Real constraints, not slideware: real factories, real CAD, real cycle times, proven before anything is built.

• Product influence: your customer insight feeds straight into where the product goes next.

• Room to grow: competitive compensation, including equity, and a flexible, remote environment that values learning.
