Cushioning Engineer II, Underfoot Systems Innovation

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITHYou’ll join the Underfoot Systems Innovation team, a group driving the future of performance cushioning. This team partners closely with Air Manufacturing Innovation teams, footwear innovation, and inline development to turn breakthrough ideas into scalable products. You’ll collaborate with designers, engineers, and developers to deliver systems that perform at the highest level.WHO WE ARE LOOKING FORThis role calls for an engineer who builds at the intersection of creativity and precision. This person is a problem solver who moves seamlessly from concept to execution, shaping new cushioning systems that elevate performance and unlock new possibilities. They bring strong technical depth in parametric modeling and a hands-on approach to prototyping, paired with the ability to navigate ambiguity and shifting priorities. They communicate complex ideas with clarity and influence cross-functional teams to align around bold solutions. Curiosity fuels their work. Craft defines it. They thrive in fast-paced environments and are driven to push the boundaries of innovation through thoughtful design, engineering rigor, and collaboration.Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical / Manufacturing Engineering or related field. Will accept any suitable combination of education, experience and training2–5 years of directly relevant experienceAdvanced proficiency in parametric CAD tools (NX and Rhino preferred); computational design experience (Grasshopper) is a plusExperience designing plastic or foam components and tooling, supported by a strong portfolio of engineering workAbility to travel domestically and internationally as neededWHAT YOU’LL WORK ONYou will design and develop the next generation of cushioning systems, translating ideas into performance-driven, manufacturable solutions. You’ll use advanced modeling and engineering tools to create, refine, and scale systems that push innovation forward.Partner with designers, developers, and engineers to build new cushioning systems and integration methodsCreate and refine complex 3D models using parametric CAD tools to achieve performance and manufacturability goalsPrototype, test, and iterate on cushioning concepts through hands-on developmentCollaborate with Air Manufacturing Innovation partners to apply component-level expertiseTranslate innovations into scalable solutions for inline product teamsCommunicate technical concepts clearly to cross-functional and non-technical audiencesNavigate multiple projects, adapting quickly to shifting priorities and timelinesWe offer a number of accommodations to complete our interview process including screen readers, sign language interpreters, accessible and single location for in-person interviews, closed captioning, and other reasonable modifications as needed.
