You must be based in Los Angeles or willing to commute to our office to be considered for this position.

## Responsibilities

- Develop, maintain, and update comprehensive tech packs, spec sheets, grading rules, and measurement charts with precision
- Own the fit process from first proto through TOP approval, ensuring consistency and alignment with brand standards
- Lead fit sessions, document feedback clearly, and issue detailed, production-ready corrections to factories
- Evaluate prototypes, SMS, pre-production, and TOP samples for fit, construction, workmanship, and quality
- Communicate daily with overseas factories to resolve technical issues and ensure timely sample turnaround
- Identify potential construction or production risks early and proactively implement solutions
- Ensure grading is accurate and consistent across size ranges and categories
- Partner cross-functionally with Design and Production to balance aesthetic intent with manufacturability and cost efficiency
- Maintain organized, up-to-date technical files to support seamless development-to-bulk transitions
- Uphold quality and consistency standards across all brands and product categories

## Qualifications

- 3+ years of technical design experience in apparel across men’s, women’s, and/or children’s categories
- Strong expertise in garment construction, patternmaking, grading, and fit development
- Advanced ability to build detailed, production-ready tech packs including specs, construction details, BOMs, and callouts
- Proven experience leading fit sessions independently and making clear, actionable fit corrections
- Deep understanding of fabric behavior, stretch, shrinkage, and wash impact on fit
- Experience partnering with overseas factories and communicating technical direction clearly and effectively
- Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes from development through bulk production
- Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy in measurements, specs, and documentation
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple styles, categories, and production calendars simultaneously
- Proficient in Adobe Illustrator and Excel; familiarity with PLM systems strongly preferred
