Software Engineer, Autonomy

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.

• Design and implementation of controls algorithms, both prototype quality for early experiments and production quality for real-world use.
• Design and implement localization algorithms (e.g., visual-inertial SLAM) and ensure we use the right sensors and logic to figure out where we are in world-space, using sensor fusion when required.
• Designing and modeling a localization and control system for our autonomous ground vehicles that can move around a construction site.
• Designing or optimizing specific control loops, e.g. for mortar flow control through different sensors.
• Implementing production-level code at whatever level makes sense (embedded firmware in C++, or our application layer in Rust) necessary to bring your algorithms to life.
• Taking full ownership of a project, going from idea to prototype to finished project.

• Experience implementing algorithms for the calibration and motion control, and path planning of complex robotic systems.
• Practical and theoretical knowledge on modelling, signal processing, motion planning, sensor fusion, collision avoidance.
• Industry experience building and deploying production systems in C, C++, Python, Rust, or comparable languages.
• Software engineering skills and best practices. You use git for version control, know how to do unit tests or how to automate deployment of your code.
• Basic familiarity with Linux systems and conventions. E.g., you’re comfortable SHH’ing into other machines to figure out why something isn't working.
• Experience in troubleshooting issues and conducting root cause analysis.
• B.Sc. in Computer Science, Mechanical-, Mechatronics-, Controls System Engineering or equivalent.
