# Supplier Quality & Systems Readiness Engineer at Sunrise Robotics Corporation

- **Company:** Sunrise Robotics Corporation
- **Location:** Ljubljana, Slovenia
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-07-16
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-16

## Job description

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: This is a role for someone who wants to see their work in the real world. The robotic cells you clear for deployment will run in live manufacturing facilities across Europe - and the quality bar you set is what stands between a controlled build environment and a production floor where things need to work. You'll join Sunrise Robotics at a stage where production is scaling but the processes around it are still being built. That means real ownership - of supplier quality, hardware acceptance, and the provisioning workflows that get a cell ready for a customer. You'll be the person engineering, supply chain, and deployment teams rely on to know whether a system is ready to ship. It's a hands-on role. You'll spend meaningful time at manufacturing partner facilities, working directly with the people building our systems - inspecting hardware, resolving issues on the spot, and making the calls that keep delivery on track. If you'd rather be close to the product than behind a desk, this is that job. What You'll Do:

- Act as Sunrise's quality representative towards manufacturing partners - performing incoming inspections, verifying builds against drawings and specifications, and owning the quality sign-off before any system ships.
- Manage supplier quality issues end to end: raise claims, investigate root causes, track corrective actions, and monitor trends over time.
- Develop and maintain hardware acceptance procedures, checklists, and quality standards as production scales.
- Execute provisioning and system configuration workflows for robotic cells, ensuring hardware, software, and deployment packages are fully prepared and traceable.
- Coordinate readiness activities across supply chain, engineering, and manufacturing partners ahead of customer delivery.
- Maintain quality records, BOM accuracy, and operational data in Odoo.
- Contribute to process improvement across supplier development, delivery readiness, and operational efficiency.

## What You’ll Need

- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or a comparable technical field.
- Proven experience in supplier quality, manufacturing quality, hardware testing, systems integration, industrial automation, or machine building.
- Confidence reading and working from technical drawings, electrical schematics, BOMs, and acceptance criteria.
- Ability to troubleshoot hardware and system-level issues alongside engineering teams.
- Structured and organised, with strong written and spoken English.
- Comfortable travelling regularly to manufacturing partner sites.

What Makes You Stand Out:

- Experience working with contract manufacturers or manufacturing partners.
- Background in robotic systems, industrial automation, or machine building.
- Familiarity with provisioning, configuration, or deployment preparation workflows.
- Experience managing supplier claims, non-conformities, or corrective action processes.
- Working knowledge of ERP systems such as Odoo.
- Understanding of electrical systems, sensors, cameras, PLCs, or industrial communication protocols.

Why Us: Sunrise Robotics is scaling its production and deployment operations across Europe, and this role sits at the centre of that.

- Real ownership: You'll hold the quality bar for every system that leaves for a customer site - from incoming inspection through to final sign-off.
- Build as you go: The processes, checklists, and standards you put in place will directly shape how Sunrise scales its delivery operations.
- Cross-functional work: You'll work across supply chain, engineering, and deployment - with direct visibility into every part of how a robotic system gets from design to production floor.
- The problem is real: Our systems run in live manufacturing environments. The quality and readiness work you do here has immediate, measurable consequences.

## About Sunrise Robotics Corporation

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Sunrise Robotics builds intelligent, autonomous robotic cells that transform industrial manufacturing by combining advanced AI with versatile hardware.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: Ljubljana, Slovenia
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Marko Thaler (CTO), Tomaž Štolfa (CEO), Joe Perrott (CCO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Industrial robotics, manufacturing automation, industrial machinery manufacturing.
- **Target customers**: B2B – manufacturing enterprises of all scales, especially those facing labor shortages and needing flexible automation.
- **Mission or purpose statement**: “Augment humanity through intelligent robotics” – starting with industrial manufacturing to automate unsafe and undesirable work.

## Products & Services
- **Sunrise Robotic Cell**: A dual-armed, AI-driven autonomous robotic cell that can be deployed in hours (plug-and-play), retrained quickly for new tasks, and operated safely at industrial speeds. Includes built-in radar-based safety (ISO 10218 / TS 15066 compliant), real-time perception, and a fleet learning system that improves over time. Type: Hardware + Software platform.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – conflicting reports: **$8.5M** (seed round led by Plural Platform in July 2025) per LinkedIn; **$16.8M** total raised per CB Insights. Both cited below.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lead investor: Plural Platform. Additional investors not fully disclosed (CB Insights mentions “One Ventures” but unconfirmed).
- **Growth Signals**: Exited stealth in 2025; currently employs 37 people across 16 countries (UK, Slovenia, Spain, Ireland, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, Croatia, Belgium, Denmark, others); 10 active job postings; monthly hiring trend +11.1% (though quarterly -41.2%). Founding team previously shipped 100M+ consumer electronics and built platforms serving 150M+ daily users.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Dual-arm human-like coordination** with industrial strength – enables transfer of complex human operations to automation.
- **Built-in AI perception** (radar + computer vision) for dynamic environment understanding and safe collaboration.
- **Plug-and-play deployment** – needs only a three-phase outlet, up and running in hours, not months.
- **Fleet learning** – each cell improves from every cycle, enabling continuous performance gains.
- **Safety-first design** compliant with ISO 10218 / TS 15066.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale the fleet of autonomous robotic cells across manufacturing verticals.
- Reduce friction for manufacturers to adopt automation at any scale (not just high-volume).
- Continue developing toward “general embodied intelligence” by integrating advanced AI with hardware.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Pan-European, collaborative team of engineers, scientists, roboticists, and company builders. Values-driven (mission to augment humanity).
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Hybrid – team regularly meets at the Ljubljana headquarters but works across 16 countries.
- **Notable Perks/Engineering Culture**: Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI + robotics from hardware to software; flat team structure; strong technical leadership (CTO holds PhD in Mechanical Engineering, built AI systems since 1999). Open roles include Robotics Software Engineer, AI Lead, Full Stack Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, and more.
