Senior Designer, Digital Design Excellence (3D...

You’ll independently deliver production-quality 3D models and visualizations for mid-to-high complexity projects while leveraging generative AI to accelerate workflows. You’ll mentor junior designers, partner early with design teams to influence direction, and ensure manufacturability.

• Partner with your Sport team’s Footwear Product Designers early in the process to provide design feedback, create refined concept models, and help establish design direction before moving to development

• Integrate generative Al workflows into your daily practice to rapidly explore design variations, accelerate ideation, and deliver more iterations in less time

• Use 3D printing strategically to create physical prototypes that validate design concepts and accelerate decision-making with designers and leadership

• Create CAD files and technical documentation that clearly convey design direction to Asia factories, ensuring accurate translation from concept to production

• Proactively Identify and resolve manufacturing challenges, working directly with designers to modify products for feasibility while preserving design intent

• Mentor 3D Designer Il team members, helping them develop both traditional craft skills and proficiency with new generative Al tools

• Work Independently across inline projects, hackathons, and priority projects, knowing when to ask for support on the most complex challenges
