Mechatronics Engineer

Mechatronics Engineer
Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labour.
We're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and Google DeepMind. It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you'll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural.
Monumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with an fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house - hardware and software, we're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.

**About the role**
We're building robots to bring automation to construction, making affordable, beautiful, high-quality housing possible at scale. We're looking for a mechatronics engineer who's a maker at heart, with a bias for speed and simplicity, who can design a robot on paper and build one in real life.
In this role, you'll own entire mechatronic systems from idea through to production. You'll be involved in every stage of the engineering process: scoping broad, novel capabilities, running back-of-envelope calculations, and driving hardware design through prototyping, testing, and validation. This includes actuator and sensor selection, system integration and firmware development. You'll de...
