Senior Software Engineer II, Computational Geometry & BIM

ICON is looking for an experienced, open-minded, structured thinker who loves to solve complex problems and appreciates the value of prototyping and iterating applications over time. As a Senior Software Engineer II focusing on Computational Geometry & BIM at ICON, you will be responsible for developing and architecting the pre-print, computational geometry software platform for ICON’s construction printing systems. This role is based on site at our Austin, TX HQ Campus.

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

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• 10+ 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

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

• Advanced degree in Computer Science
• A passion for learning new disciplines and gaining a deep understanding of how other professionals do their work
• Strong Node.js and TypeScript experience, with a functional programming approach
• Deep mathematical background in geometry, linear algebra, numerical analysis and advanced 3D mathematics
• Strong intuition for physical systems and principles of stability
• Extensive experience with tools and services that leverage three-dimensional trigonometry to calculate and analyze shapes and tool paths
• Hands-on experience with BIM platforms (Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper) and their APIs for automation
• Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks and applications in design, generative modeling, or optimization problems
• Experience in computational design, algorithmic architecture, or design automation
• React, Redux, and RxJs experience
• Proven experience interfacing with CAD and CAM software APIs
• Experience with parametric modeling frameworks and computational design tools
• Strong interest in the principles of parametric architecture
• PostgreSQL, GraphQL experience
• Modern CI/CD workflows: GitHub, Jenkins, Travis, etc.
• Experience with geometric kernel libraries (CGAL, Open CASCADE, etc.)
