About the role
- You will frequently advise cross-functional teams on complex matters and may be accountable, through the team, for delivery of tactical engineering targets.
- This role is based at ICON's Austin, TX office and reports to the Manager of Titan Electrical Engineering.
Responsibilities
- Large-Scale System Integration: Lead the electrical hardware design for multi-story robotic systems, integrating long-reach boom arms, gantry-style rails, or mobile tread systems with the central BuildOS control platform.
- Material Delivery & Process Control: Own the electrical integration of automated mixing, pumping, and extrusion hardware. Optimize sensor feedback loops for real-time monitoring of material flow, pressure, and environmental variables.
- Off-Planet & Harsh Environment Design: Drive R&D for robotic systems destined for extreme environments, including lunar or Martian applications, selecting radiation-hardened or temperature-resilient components.
- Safety & Compliance in Construction: Implement safety-rated systems (ISO 10218, ISO 13849) for large, open-workspace robots. Ensure all field hardware meets NEC (NFPA 70) standards for outdoor and temporary construction sites.
- Electrical Architecture & Design: Design and advance electrical systems from prototype to commercialization, including panel design and fabrication in compliance with UL508A, NFPA 79, UL2011, NFPA 70 (NEC), and related standards.
- Mentorship & Technical Leadership: Lead and review the work of junior engineers and technicians.
- Develop internal training for site-based electrical troubleshooting and preventative maintenance of ICON fleets.
- Advise cross-functional partners on complex electrical matters.
- Advanced Troubleshooting: Perform root-cause analysis on field-deployed robots, diagnosing complex communication and power quality issues in rugged environments.
- DFM & Manufacturing Support: Serve as the specifying engineer for Design for Manufacturing (DFM) initiatives, supporting lean and efficient manufacturing practices in a fast-paced AGILE development environment.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline, with 8+ years of related experience
- or a Master's with 6+ years
- or a Ph.D. with 3+ years.
- Advanced ability to apply first-principles thinking to resolve complex engineering models and challenges in creative and effective ways.
- Deep experience designing industrial equipment with a strong understanding of field requirements and real-time PLC systems.
- Demonstrated ability to take projects from early-stage prototyping through final product delivery and serial production.
- experience with Product Data Management (PDM) tools required.
- Knowledge of AGILE project management methodologies.
Nice to have
- Experience designing electrical systems for robotics, mechatronics, or large-scale automation platforms.
- Strong troubleshooting skills across electrical, controls, and mechanical systems.
- Familiarity with machine safety standards, including ISO 10218 and ISO 13849.
- Hands-on experience with industrial safety systems.
- Ability to clearly convey complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences and senior stakeholders.
- 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.
