Senior Electrical Engineer I
ICON is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer I to lead the electrical architecture and hardware integration for the Titan platform - a large-scale robotic construction system delivering ICON's proprietary printing technology to Serial Production. In this role, you will apply advanced, wide-ranging electrical engineering expertise to develop and resolve complex hardware and integration challenges across power distribution, high-precision motion control, and material delivery systems. You will direct the application of established engineering principles, guide the development of new design standards, and serve as a technical mentor to junior engineers and technicians. 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. Mobile Mechatronics: Specify and integrate high-torque servo and stepper motors for the precise movement of large robotic structures, ensuring millimeter-level accuracy over 27-foot spans. 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. Produce professional CAD schematics and P&IDs in SolidWorks Electrical, performing critical calculations for breaker sizing, cable selection (particularly long-run, high-flex mobile applications), and enclosure thermal management. Conceptual PLC & Motion Control: Architect hardware for industrial controllers (PLC/PAC). While programming is not required, deeply understand control logic to troubleshoot Beckhoff/EtherCAT or Rockwell systems and coordinate handshaking with robotic arm controllers. Mentorship & Technical Leadership: Lead and review the work of junior engineers and technicians. Develop internal training for site-based electrical troubleshooting and preventative main...
