Solutions Architect

Role overview Design robotic cells that automate manufacturing processes, from early customer concept through the detailed application design needed before build. The role combines manufacturing analysis, simulation, layout, throughput planning, and customer collaboration, with field insights feeding back into product direction.

Responsibilities - Study customer processes, production data, floor plans, and requirements to define a safe, feasible automation solution. - Simulate cell operations to check robot reach, identify bottlenecks, and validate feasibility. - Plan cell footprint, equipment placement, and material flow using customer data. - Calculate cycle times, takt time, capacity, and expected throughput from real production conditions. - Own proposal concepts and develop selected concepts into complete application designs; present the technical case and incorporate customer feedback. - Deliver finalized process maps, simulations, and layouts to deployment teams, while sharing customer learnings with product colleagues.

Requirements - At least five years in manufacturing automation, robotics integration, or solutions design. - Proficiency in robotic simulation tools such as Process Simulate, Visual Components, or similar. - CAD experience with tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar. - Experience with cycle-time analysis, capacity planning, and manufacturing data. - Strong knowledge of material flow, lean production, and process sequencing. - Clear customer-facing communication; based within roughly three hours of Central European Time and eligible to travel in the Schengen area.

Nice to have - Familiarity with robotic safety standards such as EN ISO 10218, varied manufacturing KPIs and data formats, grippers, feeding systems, or conveyor integration. - Experience across different manufacturing processes or with Isaac Sim.

Benefits and work setup The role is remote and flexible, with the opportunity to shape a developing solutions function and influence product direction. The source mentions competitive compensation and equity.
