Mechanical Engineer

The role

We are looking for a mechanical engineer to join our team of hardware and software engineers, working to bring robots and automation to the construction industry to create affordable, beautiful, high quality housing for everyone. You are a maker, who enjoys building physical things from start to finish, with a bias for speed and simplicity.

You enjoy contributing across the entire engineering process: asking the right questions to scope a problem, doing back of the envelope calculations, fabricating parts in our workshop, testing your design live on a construction site and iterating on it to produce a robust and scalable design.

We’re tackling some of the hardest problems in construction robotics: full on-site autonomy, lifting construction-scale payloads, reliable operation at height, and millimetre-level positioning accuracy across our entire technology stack. We’re looking for people who are genuinely excited to lead these efforts alongside a highly capable and supportive team.

Monumental, Amsterdam

The role

What you need

A proven record of being a builder and being able to work autonomously: you can point us to example of shipped projects where you were the driving force of getting something done. This can be in a professional context, in a top student (”dream”) team, or even just personal side projects.
Experience in designing and delivering products from concept up to low series volume.
Proficiency in rapid prototyping, 3D printing, machining, and milling to make product designs a reality.
Deep knowledge of mechanical systems and structural dynamics: e.g. statics, mechanics of materials, dynamics, vibrations, material science, and controls.
Expertise with 3D CAD modeling with complex parts and assemblies, e.g. OnShape, Solidworks, or Siemens NX.
Expertise in multi-physics simulations (FEA) applied to structural designing problems, e.g. Comsol and Ansys, but also being able to do hand calculations when that makes the most sense.
Experience selecting, sourcing, and integrating electronics components (e.g. actuators, sensors, cameras) into hardware design.
Being able to write (embedded) code in C or C++ is a plus.
B.Sc. in mechanical, mechatronics, or robotics engineering or similar experience is a nice to have
