Anthropometric 3D Scanning Engineer

Job description:
Reimagine how we design for the human body.

Are you passionate about the intersection of human anatomy, cutting‑edge technology, and wearable innovation? We're looking for a curious, driven Process Engineer to lead the development of high-impact workflows for 3D body scanning and textile data processing. This role is all about bringing human-centered design to life through precise data, seamless processes, and advanced tools that shape the future of wearables.

You’ll take ownership of the end-to-end scanning and data analysis
, work hands‑on with next‑gen equipment, and transform complex 3D scan data into insights that power innovative product development. If you love solving problems, diving deep into data, and collaborating across disciplines, this is the role for you.

This role is for a candidate who will support the development of efficient processes for 3D scanning and data processing of textiles and wearables. The Process Engineer will be responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing workflows to collect and analyze 3D scan data and communicate results to a broader XFN team. They will own the process from start to finish and be responsible for key equipment associated with the process.

• M.S., Ph.D. or equivalent work experience in Human Factors, Ergonomics, Biomechanics, Kinesiology, Apparel Design, or similar
• Experience working with 3D scanning systems, such as Artec and 3dMD scanning systems (training will be available)
• Demonstrated ability to process 3D scanning information into meaningful insights
• Demonstrated ability to collect, analyze, and communicate textile and garments experiments results to a multidisciplinary team
• Demonstrated ability to conduct different types of analysis of the results form the experiments of garments and wearables.
• Ability to work quickly in a fast‑paced work environment and proactively solve problems.
• Familiarity with data processing software and programming languages (e.g. Python, MATLAB)

• 1+ years of experience with computer-aided design (CAD) tools, such as Solidworks, NX, or equivalent
• 1+ years of experience developing automated analysis for 3D scan data using digital tools (e.g. Grasshopper)
• 2+ years of experience working in a research laboratory or industry setting on projects related to wearable devices or textile manufacturing
• Experience with strain measurement of materials using 3D scanning or digital image correlation
• Familiarity with 3D knitting, machine knitting, or other textile manufacturing techniques
• Familiarity with garment pattern making and garment construction

• Collaborative Environment: Work alongside a passionate team of experts dedicated to pushing the boundaries of textile innovation.
• Continuous Learning: Benefit from ongoing training opportunities and access to cutting‑edge technologies, allowing you to expand your skill set and expertise.
• Impactful Projects: Contribute to groundbreaking research initiatives that have real‑world applications, shaping the future of textiles and human-centered design.

If you're ready to make a meaningful impact in a dynamic and collaborative environment, we want to hear from you!
