About the role
- The print suite runs several networked subsystems, MGM/printer, pump, mixer, e-axis, fine positioner, positioning sensors, that all depend on site networking to talk to each other and to remote engineering teams, some of them international.
- The person in this role will be the one who architects for reliability from the ground up, sets the standard for how OT and IT traffic coexist safely, and gives engineering teams a network they can trust mid-test.
- ICON is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an innovative, inclusive, diverse and discrimination-free work environment.
Responsibilities
- Own the site network: switches, routers, cabling, and uplink, for a mixed environment of industrial controls, robotics telemetry, and standard IT traffic.
- Design and maintain proper segmentation between OT/robotics traffic and general IT traffic, so machine control stays isolated and protected from everyday network activity.
- Work directly with robotics, controls, and embedded software engineers to understand what each subsystem needs from the network (latency, packet loss tolerance, bandwidth) and design to it.
- Document network topology, failure modes, and recovery procedures, building the playbook for a site that's scaling fast.
- ICON builds Titan, a multi-story robotic construction printer.
- design it, harden it, and run it like the piece of critical infrastructure it is.
- Strong documentation habits. You'll be building the playbook, not inheriting one.
Requirements
- 5+ years in network engineering, with real experience in industrial, manufacturing, or lab/test environments, not purely corporate office IT.
- Hands-on expertise with routing and switching, VPN technologies (mesh/overlay VPNs such as Tailscale), and network segmentation (VLANs, firewalls).
- Experience supporting OT/IT converged environments: PLCs, industrial controllers, or robotics traffic sharing infrastructure with standard IT systems.
Skills
- Experience supporting distributed or international engineering teams needing remote hardware access.
- Familiarity with cellular/5G failover setups for site connectivity.
- Background in construction tech, robotics, or additive manufacturing environments.
- Comfort working alongside active hardware testing (this is a live test site, not a data center).
Company info
- As part of our compliance with these obligations, the Company invites you to voluntarily self-identify as set forth below.
- We're looking for a network engineer to take ownership of that site environment:
