Computational Design Engineer FOOTWEAR (m/f/d)

We turn biomechanical insight into high-performance, individualized footwear. We already have the data, the manufacturing know-how, and the drive to build a new category of shoes. We‘re looking for a Computational Design Engineer to turn complex data, engineering principles, and designintent into scalable systems and real physical products.

One product. Thousands of possibilities. One computational system to make it possible. This isn‘t a generalist software role. We‘re deliberately looking for deep expertise in one thing: computational and parametric design of footwear.

What you‘ll do

Translate biomechanical, anatomical, and 3D-scan data into footwear geometry — for performance, medical, and comfort applications

Develop the parametric and generative logic that defines how a shoe fits, moves, and performs

Design shoe structures — outsoles, midsoles, uppers, lattices — that are individualized, optimized, and genuinely manufacturable

Build parametric workflows in Rhino /Grasshopper that hold up well beyond the prototype stage

You‘ll work at the intersection of biomechanics, geometry, manufacturing,and performance:Encoding biomechanical principles into computational design

Exploring and optimizing large design spaces

Balancing product performance with manufacturability

Creating systems that generate individualized products at scale

What makes this role different

The goal isn‘t simply to automate design. It‘s to use computation to createproducts that perform better, fit better, and can be manufactured reliablyat scale. The foundation is already in place – production data, backend, manufacturingintegration, and scan-to-production workflows.

But many of the systemsof what you‘ll build don‘t exist yet. You‘ll be working at the forefront of computational footwear design, withthe systems, data, and team already in place to make it real. You are not optimizing an existing workflow.

You are defining a new one. What you bring

Deep experience in parametric and computational design, ideally applied
