## 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:

Platform is the core part of what makes Sunrise succeed: the software that lets a robotic cell see, move and recover, and the simulation pipeline we use to build and test all of it. You will own it.

You will own what Platform builds and why: which problems it solves next, what done means, and when it lands. This is not a backlog administration job. The engineers you will work with have strong, well argued technical opinions. You need the robotics depth to argue back with evidence, to challenge an estimate credibly, and to judge when the elegant architecture is worth the time and when it is not. The same judgement runs toward the customer: what Platform builds becomes the capabilities that decide which processes we can automate and which markets we can enter, so every technical trade-off is also a customer value decision.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Own the Platform roadmap
- Run discovery and prioritisation: turn ideas from customers, engineers and leadership into evidenced, prioritised jobs to be done.
- Turn prioritised jobs to be done into initiatives: write the specs, set milestones the team can commit to, and sequence them against the Sunrise roadmap.
- In robot software the cost of change is the core problem: a wrong requirement costs months, not days. Work out how much specification each decision needs, and catch the expensive mistakes before anyone builds them.

Run delivery with engineering

- Run cycle planning for the pillar, name the outcome of each cycle, and check that the planned work adds up to that outcome.
- Track dates against milestones with each initiative's technical lead. When estimates and targets disagree, cut scope, add people or move the date, explicitly and early.
- Sign off that delivered work meets the requirements and the quality bar written in the spec.

Be the technical counterpart

- Work daily with team leads and senior engineers on real trade-offs: perception accuracy against cycle time, simulation fidelity against speed, ship now against build it properly.
- Challenge estimates and accept challenge back. Arguments here run on evidence, not seniority.

Carry the customer into the platform

- Our customers are high-mix manufacturers, and the people who matter most are operators and facility managers. Bring their reality into every prioritisation decision.
- Work with the deployment team so what Platform ships works on a customer's factory floor, not just in the lab.

## WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

- A robotics engineering background. You have built and shipped robot software (perception, motion planning, manipulation or robotics simulation) as an engineer or technical lead. This is a must. The role cannot be done from product experience alone.
- Senior product experience. You have owned a technical product area with 10 or more engineers and carried it from problem to shipped, including the messy middle.
- Spec writing where the cost of change is high. Specs and requirements that engineers respect and that hold up months later.
- Estimation and delivery discipline. Milestones, estimates with stated risk, and honest reforecasting when the numbers disagree.
- Argument by evidence. You can disagree with a very senior engineer and change their mind, or have yours changed, without the relationship taking damage.
- Excellent written English. We are remote and run on documents, not slides.
- A working grasp of learned robotics. ML-driven perception and control alongside classical methods, enough to weigh bets between them.

## WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT:

- Industrial automation or manufacturing experience in high-mix environments.
- Hands-on time with simulation tooling such as Isaac Sim.
- Experience as the first or most senior product person in a technical area, defining the ways of working rather than inheriting them.
- Serious daily use of AI tools in product work.

## 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.
