Senior Software Engineer I, Computational Geometry & BIM

ICON is looking for an experienced, open-minded, structured thinker who loves to solve complex problems and appreciates the value of prototyping and iterating applications over time. As a Senior Software Engineer II focusing on Computational Geometry BIM at ICON, you will be responsible for developing and architecting the pre-print, computational geometry software platform for ICON's construction printing systems. This role is based on site at our Austin, TX HQ Campus and will report to our Director of Software Engineering.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Lead the design and implementation of new features and products to support our BuildOS design platform

Architect and develop cutting-edge geometric algorithms that unlock the potential of ICON 3D printing technology

Build and maintain internal tools to help visualize, instrument and debug the 3D printing process

Partner with Architects, Structural Engineers and Building Scientists to convert architectural plans to highly efficient and structurally sound path-planning algorithms

Work closely with R D engineers to perfect print quality across ICON's lineup of devices and materials

Create robust software integrations with 3rd party CAD and CAM software

Design and develop BIM automation tooling to streamline architectural workflows and extract design intelligence from building models

Lead exploration and prototyping of AI-driven design approaches for generative design, design optimization, and intelligent automation of construction planning

Build systems that bridge architectural intent with manufacturing constraints through computational design

Drive technical standards and best practices for computational geometry systems

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

8+ years of professional experience as a software engineer with demonstrated technical leadership

BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience

Proven ability to work closely with a wide variety of stakeholders to rapidly analyze and reduce large requirements into small deliverables

Strong experience building platforms, micro-services, and APIs at scale

Track record of architecting complex systems and making sound technical decisions

A willingness to accept failure, learn and try again, and an open mind to try solutions that may seem impossible at first

Excellent ability to communicate clearly and succinctly both in-person and via written asynchronous channels

Experience mentoring other engineers and contributing to team growth

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Advanced degree in Computer Science

A passion for learning new disciplines and gaining a deep understanding of how other professionals do their work
