About The Position

Are you passionate about bringing cutting-edge robotics into real-world environments and delivering exceptional customer experiences? Do you thrive at the intersection of technology and people, where every deployment is an opportunity to build trust and drive impact? At Cobot, our Deployment Engineers are on the front lines—partnering closely with customers to ensure seamless rollouts, solve complex challenges in real time, and turn first deployments into long-term success stories. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong technical instincts with outstanding communication and relationship-building skills, and who is excited to shape how collaborative robots (cobots) are introduced, adopted, and scaled across diverse industries. Join us to reimagine the future of human-robot interaction. Collaborative Robotics is a team of innovators and builders redefining the future of human-robot interaction. We are working to realize a world where robots are a trusted extension of your surroundings. They work, adapt, and react around you. Not the other way around. We're hiring virtually in the US (preference towards the Midwest region), and require close proximity to a major airport. Must be willing and able to travel 75-90% of the time.
