Solutions Architect - Robotic Cells

About the role

Sunrise Robotics designs intelligent, flexible robots for manufacturing, aiming to make automation accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises. As a Solutions Architect you design how a robotic cell fits into a customer's production line: you turn a manual process into a safe, efficient, fully automated cell by mapping the process, modelling it in simulation, laying out the floor, proving the cycle time and defining the safety concept. You sit in Product on the Solutions team, owning the technical concept behind each proposal.

Key responsibilities

• Analyse 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 guaranteed throughput from real production data.
• Refine the winning concept into a complete application design and present the concept, layout and throughput case to the customer, incorporating their feedback.
• Act as the technical voice of Sunrise in customer calls and hand over process maps, simulations and layouts to the internal Deployment team.
• Gather raw data, floor plans and production requirements from customer engineering teams and feed field learnings back into product direction.

Required profile

• 5 or more years in automation engineering, robotics integration or solutions design for manufacturing.
• Clear communication, including presenting technical concepts and layouts directly to customers.
• Base in a CET +/- 3 time zone and eligibility to travel within the Schengen area.

Required skills

• Robotic simulation software such as Process Simulate, Visual Components or similar.
• CAD tools such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD for layout and 3D data.
• Cycle-time calculation, capacity planning and manufacturing-data analysis.
• Deep understanding of material flow, lean manufacturing and process sequencing.
• Nice to have: knowledge of EN ISO 10218 safety standards, experience with diverse manufacturing data formats and KPIs, familiarity with gripping technologies, feeding systems and conveyor integration, exposure to varied manufacturing environments, and experience with Isaac Sim.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation including equity.
• A flexible, remote environment that values learning.
