Senior Robotics Software Engineer I

ICON is looking for a Senior Robotics Software Engineer to join our Software team in Austin, TX. As a Senior Robotics Software Engineer, you will help develop and maintain robotic control software for all of ICON’s robotic systems. You will be responsible for developing high-performance C++ software to drive complex arm motions, integrating real-time sensor data, and ensuring reliable motion planning. This role is based at ICON’s Austin, TX headquarters, and will report to the Director of Embedded Software Engineering.

 

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, develop, and optimize high-performance C++ software for controlling and coordinating large-scale robotic arms.
• Develop robust motion planning and trajectory generation algorithms to safely navigate industrial arms through complex workspaces.
• Implement real-time sensor fusion and state estimation algorithms (using sensors like IMUs, LiDAR, etc.) to improve arm localization and end-effector precision.
• Program robotic arm motions in coordination with other systems.
• Develop and maintain simulated environments and automated test frameworks to support continuous integration and system verification.
• Lead system integration and validation efforts across hardware and software.
• Participate in architecture d
