ICON is seeking a Systems Engineer to support the development of the Titan print system, a next-generation machine moving toward serial production. You will work alongside senior engineers on the Titan Team, contributing to hands-on development and technical design of well-engineered, maintainable systems.
Key responsibilities include:
- Support design, integration, and lifecycle management of systems under senior engineer guidance
- Develop and refine measurable, traceable requirements; log validation tests and analyses into the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)
- Contribute to system architecture that meets requirements, with senior review
- Ensure subsystems and components integrate to meet operational and functional needs
- Use modeling and simulation tools to analyze system behavior
- Identify integration risks and collaborate cross-functionally on mitigation strategies
- Support development of validation procedures and methods for verifying system requirements
- Apply electrical, mechanical, and control system design principles to robotic platforms for construction applications (motion platforms, robotic manipulators, remote sensing, object manipulation)
- Design, assemble, and test prototypes; specify instrumentation for R&D projects
- Provide hands-on troubleshooting and manufacturing support in an agile environment
- Create design solutions with strong documentation practices using CAD (SolidWorks/SolidWorks Electrical Schematic)
- Move between office and field work as needed; contribute to broader product development
- Assist in assembly of robotic systems for on- and off-planet applications
- Support facility upgrades and equipment installation configuration
- Assist in development and maintenance of autonomous robotic systems in harsh outdoor environments
- Contribute to productization documentation and cross-functional product deployment to the field
