Robotics Lab Technician Intern

Monumental

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. Read more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about our vision and company.

About the 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, you’ll work across motor control, power, sensing, and communications. 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. For more context on building hardware at Monumental, read Niall’s Substack on why he quit his job and moved country to make robots to fix Europe’s housing crisis. What you’ll do * 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 revised designs to uncover issues and help with remediation. * Iterating on prototypes back in the workshop: turning test results and engineering feedback into concrete design revisions across sensors, power, motor control, and communication hardware. * Joining the team on-site for field trials and deployments, instrumenting systems and capturing data on how they actually behave in real construction conditions. * Maintaining and occasionally troubleshooting our current robot fleet, ensuring systems are ready for deployment and in good working order. * Supporting the team with light electronics assembly and wiring tasks as needed during development. * PCB design and PCBA preparation: taking prototype setups into board designs for the next stage, and revising and improving existing production boards. What we’re looking for * A BSc, MBO, HBO, or similar in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or another relevant technical field), with solid experience and some great projects in their portfolio. * 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. * Tools like multimeters, oscilloscopes, and lab power supplies to debug and test subsystems and components are second nature to you. * Able to read existing schematics and under how components fit into a complete system. * Eager to learn in a fast-moving, collaborative environment where engineering and field testing go hand in hand. * Experience with BLDC motor control is a strong plus. Driving, commutating, or tuning brushless motors, whether from coursework, labs, or personal projects. * Experience with RF and wireless communications is a strong plus too, particularly UWB tracking and positioning, but also BLE, ZigBee, or general RF integration. * Familiarity with Altium ECAD is a nice plus, but not a requirement. Why Monumental? Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry.
