Senior Electrical Engineer I
Job description
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.
Job 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…
- Material Delivery & Process Control: Own the electrical integration of automated mixing, pumping, and extrusion hardware.
- 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.
- 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…
- 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…
- 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.
Job 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.
- Proven track record of leading engineering development efforts and delivering complex designs on time.
- 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.
- Expert-level skill in designing cable harnesses and electrical panels for industrial machinery, including long-run, high-flex mobile applications.
- Demonstrated ability to take projects from early-stage prototyping through final product delivery and serial production.
- Advanced understanding of UL508A standards and industrial electrical design practices.
- Proficient in SolidWorks Electrical Schematics and SolidWorks Electrical 3D; experience with Product Data Management (PDM) tools required.
