About this role
Mechanical Engineer, Reliability 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 top-tier investors. 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.

Our robots are deployed on sites across the Netherlands and the UK and will be in the US within a year. Most robotic applications require robots to function in controlled, clean environments. This is not the case at Monumental. Our robots must be reliable enough to withstand the harsh realities of a construction site: rain, dirt, temperature cycles and impact. This role will focus on improving the reliability of our robots, so that our growing fleet will survive months on construction sites with minimal maintenance...
