Mechatronics Engineer (Entry-level)

Cota Robotics puts robots to work in retail stores. They take on the repetitive, time-consuming jobs like inbounding goods, replenishing shelves and sorting stock, currently mostly overnight. They're driven from our control room in Stockholm and increasingly run on their own. We raised a €1.92M pre-seed in August 2026 and are live with retailers in Sweden and Finland. We're a small team based at Sankt Eriksgatan in Stockholm, where half the office is our own dark store. About the roleYou’ll work hands-on with the robot. Grippers, actuators, sensors, wiring, mounts, whatever the robot needs to survive a real store. Some of it will be properly engineered. Some of it needs to work by Thursday. You should be comfortable with both. What you'll doDesign, build, and fix electrical and mechanical subsystems on the robotDeploy robots into stores and see firsthand where they breakTurn what you learn in stores into the next version of the hardwareWork across the whole stack, including electronics, mechanics, wiring, and integration What we're looking forA generalist comfortable across a broad range of components and disciplinesA tinkerer, maker, or someone who has taken more things apart than they’ve put back togetherAble to make something work in the short term and improve it later without confusing the twoAt home in a chaotic, fast-moving environmentReady to learn, even when that means researching unfamiliar issues as they ariseWe expect to fill this role in November or December 2026, so we may not be able to offer an immediate startYou must already have the right to work in Sweden, as unfortunately, we’re not able to offer visa sponsorship at our current stage Why joinBuild on real robots operating in real storesWork across disciplines rather than in a narrow siloLearn quickly from field deployments and hardware feedbackHelp shape the next version of the system
