Senior Robotics Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 14, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 13, 2026.
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 be the senior technical voice in robotics, helping set the direction for how our robots go from teleoperation to stocking shelves on their own, and executing on it with the team. You’ll lead projects as needed, teach others, and build a collaborative, creative environment.
What you’ll do
Help set the technical direction for autonomy and execute on it hands-on
Decide where learned and classical approaches each fit best
Lead projects end to end, including team-lead responsibility when needed
Teach, mentor and bring engineers up to speed
What we’re looking for
A proven track record of shipping robotics systems that work in the real world
The right attitude and the ambition to build something big
Comfortable leading by example and making the people around you better
Fluent in English
How to apply: Tell us about the hardest robotics or hardware system you shipped, what you owned, and link to it (repo, video, paper, or project).
Why join
Shape the technical direction of an early-stage robotics company
Lead projects and grow the robotics team
Meaningful equity and real influence early
