Files H-1B transfers
1 transfer filing in the last year, covering 1 worker. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- ICON is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an innovative, inclusive, diverse and discrimination-free work environment.
- Employment with ICON is based on merit, competence, and qualifications.
- Consistent with the obligations of these laws, ICON will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities.
Responsibilities
- Serve as a working-level subject-matter expert on industry-standard digital design platforms and workflows (Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, and comparable tools), providing that context to Software as input for feature and product decisions.
- Own execution and day-to-day evolution of the digital design integrations, families, plugins, scripts, or platform-specific data structures, that surface ICON's building products inside design platforms, within the architecture set by ICON's Product Roadmap
- Build and maintain LLM-driven or agentic tooling within design tools (e.g., BIM plugins, internal design-automation scripts, proof-of-concept prototypes), scoped to ICON's internal design environment
- Define and maintain design rulesets and BIM input parameters that Software builds against
- Review building product requirements from domain technical leads (Structures, Enclosure & Building Science, and other Product Development domains) and identify resulting revisions or additions needed to design integrations and tooling to support those products
- Partner with the Software team on features requiring deep BIM and computational-geometry input, contributing technical specifications and implementation-level review
- flag cross-functional roadmap tradeoffs to the domain's Technical Lead and Product Owners as they arise.
- Work directly with ICON's product team to identify hardware technology requirements that need to be surfaced within the design space through design integrations and their underlying data.
- Coordinate testing of the Software team's implementation of building products with the relevant domain technical leads.
- Own execution and day-to-day evolution of the digital design integrations, families, plugins, scripts, or platform-specific data structures, that surface ICON's building products inside design platforms, within the architecture set by ICON's Product Roadmap; escalate recommendations for architectural changes as they arise.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Architectural Engineering, Building Science, Computer Science, or a related field with a strong technical focus.
- or 6+ years with a Master's
- or 3+ years with a Ph.D.
- Advanced proficiency in Revit and complementary BIM/CAD authoring tools, with a demonstrated track record of shipping design integrations (families, plugins, or scripts) into production use.
- Strong understanding of construction and design industry practices, including structural systems, architectural design, and construction sequencing.
Skills
- Depth in computational geometry and BIM interoperability - NURBS, BREP, IFC schema authoring, or comparable frameworks.
- Background in 3D printing, robotics, or advanced manufacturing technologies applied to construction.
- Cloud-native automation or platform architecture literacy (e.g., APS/AWS-style pipelines).
Benefits
- Establish and maintain QA and validation protocols for released design integrations, including versioned releases and regression coverage.
Company info
- As part of our compliance with these obligations, the Company invites you to voluntarily self-identify as set forth below.
- Design Technologist to build the tooling and data structures that streamline the use of ICON's building products and system capabilities inside the design platforms customers and internal teams use, Revit and comparable BIM/CAD environments.
