Your responsibilities :

  • Preprocessing and simulation setup
  • Prepare and clean complex footwear component geometries such as midsoles, outsoles, and assemblies, ensuring models are simulation-ready.
  • Generate high-quality 2D and 3D meshes using tools such as HyperMesh, following existing meshing criteria or establishing new ones.
  • Apply boundary conditions, contacts, material properties and solver settings using standardized workflows.

Simulation execution and result summarization

  • Run standardized simulations (e.g., 3-point bending tests) to evaluate performance metrics such as stiffness and stress distribution.
  • Support simulation projects including elite athlete footwear development for LA28 and other innovation-lead initiatives.
  • Analyze and organize simulation results using established templates and clearly communicate findings to cross-functional teams.
  • Process optimization and workflow documentation

  • Identify and document repetitive preprocessing tasks, and assist in refining workflows and developing tools to reduce setup time and improve consistency.
  • Contribute to the organization of simulation model libraries including geometries, meshes, material models, results, and templates.
  • Ensure traceability of simulation inputs and outputs by maintaining organized naming conventions, file structures, and version control practices.

  • 1-3 years of hands-on experience with Abaqus and HyperMesh. Radioss and Optistruct are preferred.
  • Experience in modeling soft materials (e.g., foams, elastomers, polymers).
  • Strong working knowledge of geometry cleanup and mesh generation with Hypermesh.
  • Familiarity with CAD tools such as Rhino, SolidWorks, and CATIA.
  • Detail-oriented and process-driven
  • Ability to communicate simulation findings effectively to non-technical stakeholders
  • Basic scripting skills in Python or similar tools is a plus.
  • Experience with 3DExperience is a plus.
  • Based in Seattle is preferred
  • How You Will Be Successful :

  • Envision the Future
  • Communicate Honestly and Broadly
  • Seek Technology and Business "First"
