Computational Designer II, Footwear Innovation

Responsibilities

• Leverage computational tools across a variety of product domains and goals, applying algorithmic logic to footwear domains.
• Contribute novel design solutions to problems utilizing advanced and performance-driven geometries.
• Scale your workflow dynamically—move fluidly from quick, iterative explorations to high-fidelity, production-ready geometry based on project needs and timelines.
• Generate production tooling geometry using Rhino 3D or other surface modeling environments, ensuring designs can be prototyped and tested with elite athletes.
• Demonstrate strong conceptual thinking sensibilities by communicating computational solutions to other team members and project leadership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, Architecture, Product Design, 3D Design, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of professional experience in Computational Design and advanced geometry creation
• High level of proficiency in utilizing algorithmic/computational modeling tools (Grasshopper, Houdini, Blender Geometry Nodes, TouchDesigner, etc.)
• Experience with programming and scripting to expand the capabilities of native 3D software
• Deep knowledge of computational geometry and underlying mathematics behind geometry creation
• Proficiency in Rhino 3D and other directed modeling tools (Blender, Alias, Maya, etc.)
• Demonstrates high-level systems thinking as well as deep technical understanding of computational methods
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to build relationships across diverse stakeholder groups
• Deep empathy for athletes and their needs
• Embraces and lives the Brooks values!
