Senior Product Development Engineer, Printed Wall Systems

Austin, Texas, United States
 

ICON is seeking a Senior Product Development Engineer, Printed Wall Systems to own and advance the full product development lifecycle for ICON's wall systems, construction elements,  build system components and features. This role is responsible for driving wall system features from concept through validation and field deployment — independently engaging the cross-disciplinary expertise needed to define requirements, resolve technical issues, and produce the documentation and guidance that makes ICON's printed construction elements repeatable and executable at scale. Working across Building and Construction Science, Software, Hardware, Testing, Operations, and ICON Build and Prime business verticals, the Senior Product Development Engineer serves as the primary technical driver for assigned wall system development efforts, bringing both cross-functional coordination capability and deep expertise in their own technical domain.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Wall System Feature Development

  • Own assigned wall system development efforts from requirements definition through field deployment; independently identify the technical questions that need to be answered, engage the right SMEs across ICON to answer them, and drive each initiative to a conclusion without requiring external direction on routine decisions.

  • Develop product requirements and specifications for ICON Wall System configurations, details, and printed construction elements; translate structural, material, software, and field constraints into clear, actionable product specs that cross-functional teams can execute against.

Product Documentation & Codification

  • Maintain and expand ICON's library of producible printed construction elements — execution guides, installation details, component dependency maps, print sequence documentation, and operator procedures — ensuring each element is fully documented from design intent through field-executable procedure.

  • Develop constructability logic and component interaction rules for ICON Wall System details; codify frameworks and standards that give other engineering and software teams a reliable foundation to build from.

Validation & Testing

  • Define validation requirements for new wall systems and construction elements; coordinate with Testing and Material Science teams to ensure printed systems are adequately vetted — structurally, thermally, and operationally — prior to field execution.

  • Produce and maintain technical documentation supporting validation programs — calculation packages, performance records, and structured test result interpretation — building repeatable decision frameworks for system approval.

Cross-Functional SME Engagement

  • Serve as the BACS lead for cross-disciplinary product development efforts; independently engage Software, Hardware, Testing, Structural Engineering, Materials Science, and Operations counterparts to gather inputs, surface conflicts, and move work forward.

  • Own the interface between BACS engineering and Software development on wall system initiatives; translate engineering and constructability requirements into actionable digital component specifications for CODEX and BuildOS, and provide structured product feedback on relevant software feature development.

Internal Enablement

  • Support internal ICON teams — Software, Hardware, Operations, and field — in understanding and implementing new wall system features and details; serve as the go-to BACS technical contact for implementation questions on assigned product areas.

  • Provide field guidance during deployment of new or updated wall system details; offer direct technical support to print operators and site teams on construction sequences and element execution.

Product Lifecycle Management

  • Maintain a current workplan for assigned wall system development initiatives; proactively surface risks, dependencies, and timeline pressures to BACS leadership before they become blockers.

  • Use Jira and related project management tools to track development progress, document key decisions, and coordinate cross-functional deliverables.


MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, Architecture, Construction Management, or a related field with strong technical depth; equivalent demonstrated experience will be considered

  • 8 or more years of experience in engineering design, construction technology, or product development (6 or more with a Master's degree).

  • Demonstrated ability to own and drive cross-disciplinary technical initiatives independently - engaging the right stakeholders, resolving conflicts, and producing outcomes without close supervision.

  • Proven experience developing technical documentation - specifications, execution guides, product frameworks, or construction sequencing - at a level of detail that multi-disciplinary teams can act on without re-interpretation.

  • Deep expertise in at least one relevant technical domain: architectural detailing, enclosure performance, building science, structural analysis, or construction and print execution.

  • Strong written communication skills; comfortable producing technical content with clarity and precision for diverse audiences.

  • Solid understanding of construction systems, structural principles, and building methods — including sequencing, materials behavior, and field execution constraints.

  • Ability to develop and document technical specifications, constructability frameworks, and product rulesets that others can act on reliably.

  • Proficiency contributing to cross-functional product development initiatives within defined scope and under senior guidance.

  • Working knowledge of design-to-build workflows, digital fabrication concepts, and software development processes; ability to engage productively with software teams on product specifications.

  • Concrete material science literacy sufficient to interpret material behavior in the context of product design and documentation decisions.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Master's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering, Architecture, or a related field.

  • Experience with 3D-printed construction, advanced manufacturing methods, or digital fabrication workflows.

  • Familiarity with CODEX, BuildOS, or similar design-to-build digital platforms.

  • Experience contributing to software product development as a technical stakeholder — writing requirements, reviewing specifications, or providing structured product feedback.

  • Proficiency with Jira or equivalent project and task management tools.

  • Experience in construction technology development or R&D-to-production transitions.

  • Background in concrete material science or printed concrete construction systems.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
