Founding Hardware Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 20, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 2, 2026.
Cota builds robots that run shifts in real stores: restocking shelves, inbounding goods. We design and assemble our own robot platform in-house. It's CE-marked and working in customer stores. It's far from done.
The role
You'll own the physical robot: concepting, sketching, rendering, CAD, prototyping, 3D printing, and taking designs to manufacturing and assembly at scale. You'll see your work running in stores within weeks.
What you'll do
Concept and visualize new products and subsystems
3D modeling and CAD of structures, mechanisms and enclosures
Rapid prototyping
Design for manufacturing and assembly
General hardware know-how (GD&T, tolerances, tooling specifics, material selection)
Move fast (!)
Who you are
Attitude first. A strong track record in hardware design, or an unreasonable appetite to build one. High agency: you spot the problem and ship the fix without being told.
How we work
We work hard. Long weeks when it matters, demos that have to work tomorrow. All hands on deck should excite you. If that sounds like a cost, this isn't for you.
What you get
A founding role, ownership of the hardware, meaningful equity. Stockholm, in person.
