Technical Designer

Job title: Technical Designer

About the Role We are seeking a highly collaborative Technical Designer to act as the primary technical partner to our Design Team. In this role, you won't just manage specs; you will translate creative concepts into production-ready garments while maintaining the "soul" of the design. The ideal candidate has a sophisticated eye for contemporary women’s trends and the technical prowess to execute complex silhouettes.

What You'll Do

• Design Partnership: Collaborate closely with the Design Team from the initial sketch phase to identify potential construction challenges and offer technical solutions that preserve the design intent.
• Fit Development: Lead fit sessions on live models, capturing the Designer's feedback and translating it into precise technical instructions and pattern corrections.
• Technical Packages: Create and maintain comprehensive tech packs including detailed construction sketches, graded measurement charts, and bill of materials (BOM).
• Prototype Review: Evaluate prototypes for fit, drape, and proportion, ensuring the contemporary aesthetic and quality standards are met at every stage.
• Vendor Communication: Serve as the technical point of contact for overseas and domestic factories, providing clear guidance to minimize sample rounds and ensure production accuracy.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in Technical Design, specifically within the Contemporary Women’s market.
• Aesthetic Intuition: A deep understanding of contemporary fit trends, fabric behavior, and high-end finishing techniques.
• 3D Innovation: Proficiency in 3D pattern-making software for 3D draping and virtual sampling is a significant plus.
• Technical Mastery: Expert knowledge of garment construction, pattern making, and grading.
• Communication: Ability to bridge the gap between creative design language and technical manufacturing requirements.

Nice to Have

• Proficiency in 3D pattern-making software for 3D draping and virtual sampling is a significant plus.
