Your mission: You'll be the last set of eyes before a pair of Zellerfeld shoes reaches a customer.

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

About us

Zellerfeld is revolutionizing the footwear industry with the world’s first 3D-printing technology for fully customizable shoes. Our goal is simple: printed shoes on every foot. We’re a passionate team of engineers, designers, and innovators, questioning the status quo and disrupting traditional manufacturing processes. Backed by founders, influencers, and celebrities who believe in our vision, we’re committed to making a lasting, positive impact—not just on the footwear industry, but on the world.

Zellerfeld is the only technology company that produces a whole 3D-printed shoe with the push of a button. Through an online platform, every designer in the world will have a chance to sell their shoe designs to anyone who wants to express themselves through customized and personalized 3D-printed shoes. As a team of energetic engineers that develop their printing technologies in-house, we constantly question the status quo to bring overdue change to an undemocratic and unethical footwear industry. With our disruptive approach of 3D printing every shoe out of fully recyclable materials, we regularly excite our currently small group of customers, which range from NBA and Hollywood stars to Elon Musk’s youngest child. Everything we do happens with the long term in mind. Our actions are guided by decisions that will have a lasting impact. Always with awareness for people and planets.
