Job description

At Drucks, we're building one of the world's first consumer footwear brands powered entirely by additive manufacturing.

Every shoe begins with an individual's feet, not a standard mold. We are building the complete technology stack that makes this possible, including computational design workflows, digital manufacturing tools, custom software, proprietary manufacturing processes, and advanced FDM 3D printing.

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving engineering problems through computational design and automation.

This is NOT a traditional footwear design role. This is NOT a role for:

• UI/UX Designers
• Graphic Designers
• Fashion Designers
• Footwear Designers
• Industrial Designers focused primarily on concept development

This role is for engineers and computational designers who are deeply comfortable with Rhino, Grasshopper, parametric design, and FDM 3D printing.

If your primary expertise is Rhino, Grasshopper, geometry, automation, scripting, and digital manufacturing, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Work On

You'll help us build the computational backbone of our footwear platform.

Instead of manually creating every model, you'll develop systems that enable our team to generate thousands of unique products efficiently.

Your work will include:

• Creating complex production-ready geometry in Rhino
• Developing reusable computational design workflows
• Automating repetitive modelling tasks
• Preparing models for additive manufacturing
• Optimizing slicing workflows
• Improving manufacturing efficiency
• Working with FDM printing and flexible materials
• Collaborating closely with our R&D team to solve manufacturing challenges
• Continuously improving our digital design-to-print pipeline

Must Have (Non-Negotiable)

Rhino

You should be highly proficient in Rhino. This includes:

• Geometry repair
• Manufacturing-ready modelling
• Working with complex organic geometry

Grasshopper

Strong experience building parametric definitions. You should understand:

• Data trees
• Lists
• Geometry automation
• Performance optimization

Additive Manufacturing

Good understanding of FDM printing. Including:

• Print orientation
• Layer strategy
• Supports
• Flow tuning
• Wall strategy
• Material behaviour

Slicers

Hands-on experience with at least one:

• Cura
• Bambu Studio
• PrusaSlicer

Good to Have

• Python scripting
• RhinoPython
• C#
• TPU printing
• Klipper
• Marlin
• Printer calibration
• Custom-built printers
• Firmware configuration
• Toolpath optimization

We Don't Care About

We do not hire based on:

• College
• Degree
• Academic branch
• CGPA

Who Will Enjoy This Role?

You'll enjoy working with us if you:

• Spend your free time experimenting with Rhino or Grasshopper
• Like automating repetitive work instead of doing it manually
• Constantly optimize your workflows
• Treat failed prints as learning opportunities
• Enjoy building systems rather than simply creating models

If you're exceptional at the skills above, we want to meet you.
