Your Job: As a Senior Materials Engineer, Footwear Innovation, you will be responsible for developing, testing, and validating the materials used in footwear product innovation to ensure they meet performance, durability, and quality standards. This role combines hands-on laboratory testing with material development, focusing on analyzing materials such as foams, plates, rubber, and other plastic materials, and translating test results into actionable improvements. You will demonstrate curiosity by evaluating the data and forming a hypothesis, identifying failure modes, and seeking ways to improve the testing methods and material properties and relaying these conclusions to the product team. You’ll work cross-functionally within Brooks and externally with our partners to select materials to deliver on the short- and long-term innovation goals.
