Computational Creator

**In short**:
We are seeking a dynamic Computational Designer/Engineer with expertise in product design, parametric and algorithmic design strategies, advanced computational modeling and a strong background in the design industry. As a key member of our creation team, you will collaborate closely with our design and development teams to identify and implement integrative computational processes for the generation, evaluation and fabrication of performance-oriented models, with a particular focus on digital/robotic fabrication, streamline the product design processes, and engineer innovative products. Your mission will be to leverage your expertise in 2D and 3D software design tools to drive ground-breaking product design, while inspiring and implementing computational design strategies across all product functions.

**Your Mission**:
As a Computational Designer/Engineer, you will:

- Use your expertise of computational design tools to help design ground-breaking product
- Utilize parametric, algorithmic and generative modeling techniques to create and optimize 3D models of footwear designs
- Collaborate with our Zurich and Vietnam based Innovation and inline development team on creating functional and performance-driven concepts
- Collaborate with the footwear designers to understand design concepts and translate them into digital models suitable for production using digital/robotic fabrication methods
- Employ rapid sketching and prototyping methods to bring blue sky innovation concepts to life and integrate them into holistic design projects, bridging the gap between innovation and inline design
- Develop concepts, mock-ups, visuals, 2D and 3D files for new projects
- Implement scripts and algorithms to generate custom G-codes to drive computer-controlled manufacturing machines based on design specifications
- Work closely with development and production teams to ensure the feasibility and efficiency of G-code generated designs for footwear production
- Focus on automation of G-code generation and optimization of material usage, production time and quality improvement through iterative testing and validation
- Stay updated on the latest advancements in computational design tools and CNC machining technologies to enhance the footwear design process
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities for innovation and improvement in the footwear design-to-production pipeline
- Communicate effectively with design, development and manufacturing teams to ensure a smooth transition from design concepts to production-ready files
- Inspire and implement computational design capabilities across all product functions, driving innovation and efficiency
