What you'll do
You will design and develop comfort padding systems—including cheek pads, liners, crown pads, and neck rolls—for various helmet types.
- Define 2D pattern layouts, seam placements, and construction logic, in collaboration with in-house or external seamstresses.
- Select and validate materials such as foams, fabrics, and composites, based on mechanical and tactile performance criteria including density, softness, recovery, and moisture management.
- Collaborate with EPS and CAD teams to optimize the interface between padding and EPS cavities (Expanded Polystyrene), ensuring best-in-class fit.
- Analyze Western and Asian head morphologies to support helmet sizing strategy and shell’s fitting logic.
What you need
A bachelor/master’s degree in Fashion/Textile Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science and / or industrial design or related areas.
- A minimum of 3 years’ experience in product development of soft goods, ideally in helmets or high-performance apparel.
- Previous expertise in patternmaking, as well as the ability to interpret and co-develop shapes in 2D and 3D.
Why this matters
This role will focus on achieving superior fit, ergonomic fit analysis, pattern design and supplier collaboration to develop advanced helmet padding for global markets.
