Senior Architect / Senior Designer

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the development of ICON’s concrete 3D-printed wall system to maximize human comfort, safety, experience, and sustainability
• Lead project teams in the development and coordination of comprehensive drawing packages across all design stages, ensuring adherence to ICON’s architectural standards, client requirements, and project timelines
• Produce drawings and diagrams to ensure that the design intent established during concept development is maintained through subsequent phases of design and construction
• Develop construction documents, wall assembly drawings, and building envelope details, with a focus on window and door systems, waterproofing, and weatherization
• Develop construction diagrams to effectively communicate construction sequencing for successful integration of building envelope components and building systems (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) in the field
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and building & material science departments to determine best practices for achieving effective weatherization, resilient design, and high thermal performance of the printed wall system
• Assist in the experimentation of innovative wall profiles and configurations for future application in projects
• Review consultant drawings and details to ensure a successful interface between the 3D-printed walls and any non-printed element of the building
• Cook up with software engineers, print technicians, and construction operations to ensure successful implementation of wall construction in the field

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in complex, multi-disciplinary design projects
• Professional degree in Architecture from an accredited institution
• Proficiency in Revit, Rhino, Google and Adobe Suites
• Experience coordinating all phases of design (schematic design, design development, construction documents, and construction administration) with all disciplines (civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing)
• Experience producing and organizing construction documents for complex projects, with an emphasis on integrating building systems
• Strong experience in Construction Administration, including RFI and submittal review, and other general construction-related correspondence
• Working knowledge of the International Residential (IRC) and Building (IBC) codes, ADA guidelines, Fair Housing Act (FHA), principles of concrete design & construction, construction specifications, and test methods and standards associated with the testing of building envelope systems (AAMA/ASTM)
• Desire to work with a highly collaborative team, on a quickly evolving product, and in a fast-paced environment
• Proactive problem-solving skills, strong organizational skills, and ability to multitask
• Interest in sustainable design, curiosity for novel architectural technologies, and desire to perfect the craft of construction

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Licensure not required, we support candidates pursuing certification
• Familiarity with parametric and computational design tools (e.g., Grasshopper, Dynamo) to explore and optimize complex forms, workflows, or performance outcomes
• Demonstrated experience in research and development environments, particularly contributing to prototype testing, materials research, or novel building systems
• Ability to develop and manage BIM standards and digital workflows for interdisciplinary collaboration and construction documentation
• Experience collaborating with or managing external consultants, including structural engineers, sustainability experts, and testing labs
• Experience leading and delivering projects that integrate emerging construction technologies, such as 3D printing, robotics, prefab, or modular construction
• Familiarity with code compliance testing protocols, ICC-ES reports, or material certification processes
• Demonstrated ability to operate independently and effectively in fast-paced, iterative design-build environments
• Passion for designing for social impact, including housing innovation, affordability, and climate resilience
