Who We Are:

At Brooks, we believe movement is the key to feeling more alive. That’s why we’re driven to create gear and experiences that take people to the place that makes them feel more alive — whether it’s a headspace, a feeling, or a finish line.

Everyone who works at Brooks is propelled by a company culture that sparks excitement, fuels collaboration, inspires creativity, and ignites innovation.

Our brand values help bond us together and drive our success:

Runner First
- We act in the best interest of the runner
Word is Bond
- We do what we say we’ll do
Champion Heart
- We give our all in everything we do
There is no “I” in Run
- We stay generous with our humanity
Keep Moving
- We find ways to move every day, because joy is kinetic!

We welcome everyone from every walk of life looking to inspire others through the power of movement - because we’re all moving towards something. Let’s run there.

Your Job:

As a 3D Innovation Designer II on the Innovation & Elite Athlete Team, you will drive both art and science by creating what athletes need and want in their lives—a digital craftsperson who transforms visionary concepts into tangible reality.

You'll work with a fearless team at the leading edge of footwear creation, developing advanced 3D models that span from early-stage explorations to production-ready geometry. Your work directly influences how our most ambitious innovations come to life and how elite athletes achieve their fullest potential.

You will collaborate with Innovation Footwear Design, Computational Design, Run Research, Product Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering teams to create

breakthrough footwear concepts that redefine performance. Your 3D fluency, aesthetic sensibility, and technical mastery will be essential in translating complex biomechanical insights and radical design ideas into a crafted reality for our high-performance athletes.

This role demands someone who can scale seamlessly from rapid, iterative virtual and physical 3D explorations that spark new possibilities to high-quality models for prototyping. You understand how surface and contour contribute to human biomechanics, dynamic motion, and performance optimization. You think in 3D, create in 3D, and communicate through stunning visualizations that inspire teams and move concepts forward.

Your role here at Brooks Innovation is vital in our mission to be the most innovative and loved brand in running, where athletes trust us to deliver the tools that help them reach heights they once only dreamed of.
