Senior Computational Designer, Parametric Modeling & Design

The Senior Computational Designer will work in Samsung's Design & Innovation Center in San Francisco to develop generative design models and algorithms using emergent design and simulation techniques. The ideal candidate will have a Master's degree in a related field, 4+ years of experience in Architecture, Automotive, or Industrial Design Engineering, and experience with soft body simulations, generative and topological design, and human-body-focused context. The Computational Designer will be responsible for developing parametric models, designing and developing algorithms and scripts, employing 3D body scans, collecting and incorporating data into the design process, and running computational simulations.

• Develop parametric models based on requirements such as design language
• Design and develop algorithms and scripts to develop and explore novel design spaces
• Employ 3D body scans and create a meaningful database
• Collect, parse, interpret and incorporate data into each specific design process
• Design, run and incorporate computational simulations (FEM + other)
• Develop data-driven testing and feedback cycles
• Reverse engineer products, if needed

• Master's Degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience and training
• Doctoral degree in a related field is a plus
• 4+ years of experience in Architecture or Automotive or Industrial Design Engineering Sector (or relevant equivalent)
• Soft body simulations are a plus
• Generative & topological design experience
• Deep understanding of product development, materials, and manufacturing processes
• Experience working with human-body-focused context
• Deep design engineering process knowledge
• Hands-on approach, flexible & agile, and comfortable experimenting with a fresh, original perspective
• Time management skills, attention to detail, and ability to think and act strategically and proactively
• Strong visual story-telling and communication skills
• Self-driven, willing to act on launching novel projects ideas and developing concepts from scratch
• Travel Internationally and Domestic and work overtime when needed
