About NETX HYPERGEAR:
NETX is building next-generation performance gear (footwear components, grips, balls, elastomer products) using procedural design, lattices, and 3D printing.
We're looking for a computational product designer who blends Houdini and Grasshopper thinking to create lighter, stronger, and more efficient products, while also supporting rendering and animation for product visualization.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND APPLY ONLY IF YOU ARE SKILLED IN ALGORITMIC PRODUCT DESIGN
What You'll Do
Design performance-driven geometries using procedural workflows
Create and optimize lattices, cellular structures, and gradients
Translate material behavior (Shore A resins) into geometry logic
Reduce material usage, print failures, and iteration cycles
Use simulation-driven thinking (stress, compression, rebound, damping)
Collaborate with engineers and production to ensure printability
Produce renders and short animations for product visualization and marketing
Move fast from concept → geometry → visualization
Required Skills
You should be strong in at least two of the following, and curious to grow in the third:
Houdini (SOPs, VEX, attributes, procedural modeling)
Grasshopper (data trees, parametric logic, rule-based modeling)
Strong understanding of procedural thinking, not just tools
Experience designing real, manufacturable products
Understanding of lattices, TPMS, Voronoi, gradients
Knowledge of resin or elastomer 3D printing constraints
Comfort designing for performance, durability, and efficiency
Rendering and animation for product (Houdini, Redshift)
Clear visual communication of internal structures and performance zones
Basic animation skills are a strong plus
Not a Fit If You:
Your are pure CAD product designer
You are not experienced in human centric products
Only do VFX, motion graphics, or cinematic shots with no physical constraints
Only do pure surface modeling without internal logic
Only do Aesthetic-only design with no print or performance awareness
Looking to work in a Team or join large company
Planning to learn tools once joined
Strong Premio If You Have
Experience in footwear, sports equipment, industrial design
Exposure to simulation, FEA logic, or material behavior
Ability to explain why a structure works, not just how it looks
Interest in building design systems and reusable logic
Why NETX
You design real products, not speculative renders
Heavy focus on procedural systems, not one-off models
Direct impact on material savings, performance, and speed
Freedom to build your own products
Work at the intersection of design, computation, and manufacturing
How to speed up the process.
