Senior Product Development Engineer

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

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