Job description

ICON is seeking a Manufacturing Engineer to drive the development and implementation of world-class manufacturing processes for our cutting-edge construction technologies. This role is critical to ensuring our products are built safely, efficiently, and at scale, meeting the highest standards of quality, certification, and reliability. The ideal candidate will bring hands‑on manufacturing experience, deep process and data fluency, and cross-functional collaboration skills. You'll work across mechanical and electrical systems, leading initiatives in quality control, process optimization, and configuration management that will shape ICON's next generation of products. This role is based at ICON's Austin, TX campus and will report to our Director of Manufacturing & Supply Chain.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, implement, and optimize manufacturing processes that support scalability, efficiency, and repeatability in production.
• Develop and manage critical quality systems-including NRTL and CE certifications-ensuring compliance with regulatory and safety standards across all manufacturing stages.
• Lead cross-functional efforts with engineering, quality, and production teams to ensure seamless New Product Introduction (NPI) and transition from prototype to full-scale production.
• Manage and maintain complex Bills of Materials (BOMs), process routings, and manufacturing documentation.
• Oversee Engineering Change Requests (ECR) and Engineering Change Orders (ECO), ensuring accuracy, traceability, and continuity of product knowledge.
• Partner with product and process engineers to evaluate manufacturability during early design phases and standardize assembly processes across product lines.
• Develop and implement advanced data-driven approaches to process control, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
• Provide floor-level support for assembly, test, and validation activities-including hands‑on root cause analysis and implementation of corrective actions.
• Contribute to facility layout planning, tooling design, capacity modeling, and equipment selection to support long‑term manufacturing scalability.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering or process engineering in a product-based or construction-focused environment.
• Proven experience across mechanical and electrical system manufacturing, including mobile or large-scale machinery.
• Hands‑on experience with welding, fabrication, and electro‑mechanical assemblies.
• Deep understanding of process documentation, quality standards, and configuration management practices.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or other parametric CAD tools.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to facilitate collaboration across teams.
• Ability to lift 50 lbs unassisted and support hands‑on troubleshooting in a factory environment.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Advanced data analytics skills with the ability to use metrics and statistical tools for process optimization and problem-solving.
• Experience managing third‑party certifications (NRTL, CE) and navigating product compliance pathways.
• Demonstrated ownership of process definition and implementation in a fast‑paced, iterative R&D‑to‑production environment.
• Strong systems thinking with the ability to synthesize mechanical, electrical, and software elements into streamlined manufacturing processes.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities with a flexible, solution‑oriented mindset.
