Robotics Field Engineer

Cota Robotics puts robots to work in retail stores. They take on the repetitive, time-consuming jobs like stocking shelves, inbounding goods 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 role You’ll make our robots work in the real world. You’ll deploy them into stores, figure out why something failed, get it running again, and turn what you learn into clear procedures so we can scale to more stores. Since our robots mostly run overnight, this role involves regular night work, especially in the beginning. What you’ll do

• Deploy robots into new stores and keep them running reliably
• Diagnose and fix issues across mechanics, electronics and software, often on site
• Report problems back to hardware and robotics with clear data
• Write and own the Standard Operating Procedures for deployment, setup and upkeep

What we’re looking for

• A degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics or similar. Recent graduates are very welcome
• Sharp and hands-on: you understand why things fail and how to fix them
• Systematic: you turn one-off fixes into processes anyone can follow
• Calm under pressure and comfortable with travel to stores
• Fluent in English; Swedish is a plus
• You must already have the right to work in Sweden, as unfortunately, we’re not able to offer visa sponsorship at our current stage

How to apply: Tell us about something you built, fixed or got working in the real world, and link to it (project, repo, video, photos). Why join

• Work hands-on with real robots in real stores from day one
• Shape how Cota deploys and scales its robot fleet
