Supplier Quality & Systems Readiness Engineer

Supplier Quality & Systems Readiness Engineer LocationLjubljanaEmployment TypeFull timeLocation TypeRemoteDepartmentProduction and Supply ChainOur 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 NeedDegree 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...
