Senior Perception and Localization Engineer II

ICON is seeking a Senior Perception and Localization Engineer II to lead the development of advanced sensing and absolute position feedback systems in the Phoenix group at ICON. As the Senior Perception and Localization Engineer II at ICON, you will be responsible for all phases of development and productization of the Perception & Localization systems on ICON's latest machines. This role is based at ICON’s Austin, TX campus and will report to the Embedded Software Manager on ICON’s Phoenix team.


RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Act as SME on the development of the Perception and Localization systems
  • Collaborate with team members as well as cross-functionally to ensure quality and timely delivery
  • Develop plans for, and run, sensor integration, testing, and productization activities for sensors such as: Laser tracking systems, LiDAR, TOF sensors, Computer vision (OpenCV, Matrox, Cognex, Keyence), IMU

ABOUT THE TEAM

Solving one of the most challenging problems humanity faces requires a level of diversity across disciplines. ICON believes that by being a non-homogenous organization, we can capture unique perspectives, educational backgrounds, and ideation. We strive to be inclusive and seek team members who share our passion for the mission within the mission: building robust and diverse teams to help us prevail in the face of our challenges.

We‘re a team of varied backgrounds, countries, and experiences, and we believe our differences make us stronger as we tackle some of the most challenging problems of our time.

MISSION-DRIVEN

Every startup wants to change the world, but we genuinely believe we’re not being hyperbolic when we say this technology has the potential to reinvent human shelter, dramatically improving quality and resiliency while driving down costs to make housing affordable for everyone. We believe in harnessing the power of construction technology for the good of all humanity, both here on Earth and off-world. And while we get excited about R&D accomplishments in the lab, we get more excited when we see our work out in the real world, printing real homes for real people.

We work hard because we know what we are doing can reshape the way we live as a species. And it doesn’t hurt that it’s super fun. Where else do you get to play with giant robots and see the results of your work manifest in beautiful full-scale buildings that didn’t exist before—and that someone can now call home?
