OptiTrack Working Student

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 of mostly engineers and technicians. 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.

We’re looking for a reliable working student to take ownership of our OptiTrack motion capture calibration process in the evenings and over weekends.

What you'll do

You’ll take over from our engineering team at 5pm and run the show until 11pm, and run the entire process over the weekend from 10am to 4pm.

• Drive our robots to and from the calibration area using a Nintendo-style nunchuk controller
• Carefully set up the test space
• Start and monitor the automated calibration procedure
• Log any issues you encounter for our engineers to address
• Lock up our HQ once done for the day

A significant portion of the shift is supervised monitoring of an automated process, making it ideal for someone who wants to study or focus while on the clock, without being hands-off when it counts. We will train you so you’re comfortable running calibrations alone, and you’ll get to learn from our team of computer vision engineers who have invented our entire calibration process. Safety is important to us.

What we're looking for

You’re a night owl and someone we can count on: this is a non-negotiable. You have sharp attention to detail and take pride in doing things right. A background in software engineering or a related technical field is a plus, as is comfort around hardware and robotics setups.

Why this role

This is a rare chance to get hands-on experience inside one of Amsterdam’s most exciting robotics startups. You’ll be trusted with real equipment and real responsibility from day one.

You are also welcome to come in earlier than 5pm, on days where possible, to study or work from our HQ before starting your shift and learn from some of the brightest minds.
