Your mission

You'll take freshly printed shoes and get them ready for quality inspection — cleaning them up by hand, removing any excess material, and making sure every component looks and feels right before it moves down the line. This is careful, hands-on work where consistency and attention to detail matter most.

Spot and flag visible defects like cracks, warping, or surface imperfections before they move further down the line
Follow established finishing procedures and meet daily production targets

Work closely with the production team to keep things moving smoothly

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.
