About Monil

Monil aims to be the world's leading digital shepherd. Our first product is an electronic collar that lets farmers monitor and virtually fence their cattle. This saves the farmer a lot of time and money that would be spent looking for animals and maintaining fences. Additionally, our product can contribute to improving soil health, increase production, improve animal welfare, and radically change how farmers manage livestock.

Monil is a young, yet experienced startup. It was started in 2022 by veterans from Prox Dynamics/Teledyne FLIR, Cognite, and Silicone Labs. Energy-efficient micro electronics, manufacturing, and cloud platforms were in our DNA from the beginning. Since then, the team has grown to include a broader set of skills in front-end, marketing, farmer success, and sales.

Monil has solid backing from FIRDA, Innovation Norway, and a range of smaller investors. We have been field-testing our product with pilot customers for two years and are preparing to deliver to customers this spring. There is a very large market potential for this product and Monil is well positioned for global growth.


The Mechanical Challenge

The Monil Collar must keep working with very little energy for several years in a very tough environment. It needs to be affordable so that farmers everywhere can access this empowering technology. Additionally, we aim to build an elegant and ergonomic product that fits comfortably on a range of animals. The result is a very tough mechanical challenge that requires creativity, tenacity, multidisciplinary work, and a lot of testing.

At Monil, we believe the best products require all disciplines under one roof. We design everything in-house and assemble our products in Norway.


To contribute to this team, we believe it's beneficial if you have:

  • Experience in taking a product from concept to mass production

  • Experience with designing for injection molding

  • Prototyping skills

  • Experience with Solidworks or a similar CAD-tool

  • Experience with, or interest in, electronics

  • Experience with building good relationships with suppliers

  • MSc in mechanical engineering or similar

  • The will to literally get your hands dirty. We test on cows and sheep in the field!


We offer:

  • A chance to shape your role as well as the direction as a whole in a startup with big ambition

  • A chance to work together with industry specialists

  • Competitive salary and benefits

  • Equity in the company

  • Comfortable offices in Lysaker


If you want to work with technology with a positive impact, Monil could be the place for you!
