Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction primarily software-defined and work towards a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings are built within a single day with minimal labour.

We’re a growing team (about 100 team members) of mostly engineers and technicians, coming from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and 1X. It’s still the early days of building the company, and this is a unique opportunity to be an early employee in a high-growth, high-ambition startup environment. From Day 1, you’ll be able to work with an experienced founding team backed by top-tier investors.

Monumental is based near Artis zoo in the Plantage, in the city center of Amsterdam. We have a beautiful office with an in-house workshop and robot testing facility. We’re explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company: we enjoy collaborating 5 days a week at the office . You can read more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn more about our vision and company.

About You And This Role We’re looking for an Electronics Engineer to join our hardware team. You’ll support our mechatronics engineers and collaborate closely with both hardware and software teams as we develop the next generation of autonomous construction robots.

In this role, you’ll contribute directly to prototyping, testing, and refining the electronics that power our robotic systems — from autonomous vehicles and cranes to tools and sensors. Your work will help bring these machines from concept to real-world performance on active construction sites.

You’ll be involved in hands-on engineering tasks such as building test circuits, validating sensor integrations, supporting field tests, and debugging hardware issues. You’ll also help improve and maintain our growing fleet, learning from failures and iterating quickly on both designs and processes.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and gets excited about solving complex technical problems. You’re eager to learn, not afraid to get your hands dirty, and always looking for smarter ways to work — whether it’s speeding up a build, simplifying a test rig, or streamlining a design.

Help us bring our robots to life and join our mission to bring automation to the construction industry to create affordable, beautiful, high-quality housing for everyone. You might enjoy seeing this video by Andreas Klinger of what our office environment looks like.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Supporting the prototyping and development of electronic systems for our autonomous construction robots and related equipment.
• Working closely with senior engineers to build and test early-stage hardware, helping turn ideas and schematics into functioning systems.
• Electronics testing and debugging, validating new and revisions of existing designs to uncover any issues and help with remediation
• Helping to improve prototypes based on real-world test results and engineering feedback — from sensors and power systems to communication hardware.

What We’re Looking For:

• A BSc, MBO, HBO, or similar in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or another relevant technical field), either as a recent graduate or with 1–2 years of hands-on work in the field.
• A strong foundation in electronics fundamentals, with hands-on experience through coursework, labs, or personal projects.
• Familiarity with prototyping and testing circuits, and basic skills in soldering, wiring, and assembling test setups.
• Comfortable using tools like multimeters, oscilloscopes, and lab power supplies to debug and test subsystems and components.

Why Monumental? Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry. Here, your work has the potential to impact not just the company but the future of how we build. If you're driven by innovation, eager to tackle complex challenges, and ready to make a tangible difference, we want to hear from you.
