Job Description:

ICON is looking for an Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join our Software Products team in Austin, TX. In this hands-on role, you will develop and maintain control software for our production fleet and our space-based robotic systems. You will contribute in all aspects of the software development lifecycle as part of a growing, fast-paced team, with a focus on high-performance systems, including dynamic stabilization and real-time control. This role will be based at our Austin, TX headquarters and will report to ICON’s VP, Software Products.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design and develop controls architecture with a combination of hard and soft real-time requirements
  • Develop robust communication protocols between supervisory and real-time systems
  • Program and debug control logic in a variety of languages (e.g. C/C++, Matlab, TwinCAT)
  • Create modular, object-oriented code that adheres to established coding standards, design patterns, and documentation practices
  • Lead system integration and validation efforts across hardware and software
  • Develop and maintain simulated environments and automated test frameworks to support continuous integration and system verification
  • Support electromechanical hardware systems both remotely and on-site, ensuring safe, reliable operation
  • Participate in architecture decisions for controls and electrical systems, including component selection and standardization
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and customers to ensure alignment across system interfaces
  • Participate in design & code reviews to maintain consistency and high-quality output
  • Develop and implement real-time control algorithms for dynamic stabilization, vibration mitigation, and high-speed feedback control
  • Design and optimize sensor fusion and state estimation algorithms using IMUs, LiDAR, and other real-time sensing systems
  • Act as a subject matter expert on system stabilization in non-linear, high-speed robotic applications
  • Conduct simulations, system-level testing, and prototype development to enhance stability and real-world responsiveness

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in an engineering-related field
  • 8+ years of experience in controls engineering, robotics, electrical engineering, or a related field
  • Strong understanding of real-time state estimation / sensor fusion algorithms (e.g., Kalman Filter, Extended Kalman Filter, Particle Filters) for dynamic systems with focus on position estimation from sensors at different sampling frequencies
  • Expertise in vibration analysis, non-linear dynamics, and stabilization of high-speed systems
  • Advanced programming skills in C/C++ with a focus on deterministic real-time control
  • Strong knowledge of linear algebra, stochastic modeling, and numerical methods, with experience implementing these in languages like C/C++
  • Experience selecting, integrating, and tuning sensors such as IMUs, accelerometers, and gyros for stabilization systems

Nice to have:

  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in controls engineering, robotics, or related fields
  • Demonstrated success in shipping control systems designed for high-speed stabilization in dynamic environments
  • Practical experience with numerical stability analysis and ensuring robust algorithm performance in non-linear systems
  • Experience with modern compiled languages such as C++, Rust, or other systems-level programming tools
  • Familiarity with simulation tools and frameworks for system validation (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink)
  • System architecture experience, particularly for embedded real-time systems
