Quality Inspector for 3D printed Footwear

Your mission: You'll be the last set of eyes before a pair of Zellerfeld shoes reaches a customer. Your job is to make sure every shoe meets our standards, document what you find, and share insights with the team so we keep getting better. No engineering background needed — just sharp eyes, good focus, and clear communication.

• Inspect shoes at different production stages for visual and structural quality — patterns, finish, consistency

• Follow existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) while helping contribute to making improvements for training  and high-quality products

• Document findings, track recurring issues, and maintain clear QC logs

• Handle rejected pairs — document, report, and help resolve them

• Report insights and suggestions back to the product team.

• Collaborate with the production team to catch and prevent defects early

• Safety First - Always have your and our team’s safety as a top priority 

• A sharp eye — you notice when something's off, even small details others might miss

• Comfortable keeping simple, organized logs and communicating findings clearly

• Reliable, proactive, and a team player

• We'd love someone who has already done some form of checking or inspection work, even informally — think garment checking, food inspection, product sorting, or similar

• A background in footwear, fashion, garments, crafts, or any hands-on role is a plus — no technical degree required

• Based in Austin or nearby

• Full training from day one — no prior knowledge needed, but a plus

• A stable, full-time permanent role

• A front-row seat inside one of the most innovative footwear companies in the world

• A flat-hierarchy team where your input is genuinely valued

• Real growth opportunities as we scale
