Mechatronics Engineer (Entry-level)

Cota Robotics; Stockholms kommun; On-site; SEK 550,000 - 750,000; Full time

Job summary

Cota Robotics is seeking a hands-on engineer to design, build, and fix electrical and mechanical subsystems on our robots used in real stores.

You’ll deploy robots into shops, observe where they break, and turn those lessons into the next hardware version while working across electronics, mechanics, wiring and integration.

A generalist mindset, being a tinkerer, and the ability to improvise in a fast-moving, chaotic environment are essential.

Qualifications

• A generalist across a broad range of components and disciplines.
• A tinkerer, maker, or someone who has taken more things apart than they’ve put back together.
• Able to make something work in the short term and improve it later without confusing the two.
• At home in a chaotic, fast-moving environment.
• Ready to learn, even when that means researching unfamiliar issues as they arise.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and fix electrical and mechanical subsystems on the robot.
• Deploy robots into stores and see firsthand where they break.
• Turn what you learn in stores into the next version of the hardware.
• Work across the whole stack, including electronics, mechanics, wiring, and integration.

Job description

About the role

You’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 do

• Design, build, and fix electrical and mechanical subsystems on the robot

• Deploy robots into stores and see firsthand where they break

• Turn what you learn in stores into the next version of the hardware

• Work across the whole stack, including electronics, mechanics, wiring, and integration

What we’re looking for

• A generalist comfortable across a broad range of components and disciplines

• A tinkerer, maker, or someone who has taken more things apart than they’ve put back together

• Able to make something work in the short term and improve it later without confusing the two

• At home in a chaotic, fast‑moving environment

• Ready to learn, even when that means researching unfamiliar issues as they arise

Why join

• Build on real robots operating in real stores

• Work across disciplines rather than in a narrow silo

• Learn quickly from field deployments and hardware feedback

• Help shape the next version of the system
