Senior Software Architect – Computational Geometry & BIM

ICON; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

ICON is seeking a Senior Software Engineer focused on Computational Geometry & BIM, based at our Austin, TX HQ. You will architect and implement the pre-print geometry platform for ICON's construction printing systems, collaborating across design and engineering teams.

You will lead complex geometry routing, prototyping AI-driven design approaches, and integrate with CAD/CAM tools while mentoring peers and advancing scalable software platforms.

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.

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.
