The role involves translating ideations and design sketches into 2D patterns and prototypes in the respective sample sizes, utilizing CAD software and physical sampling.

You will serve as the link between product category developers and the sample room within the Product Development team, and summarize key technical specifications early in the process in close alignment with our production sites in Germany and Portugal.

Good command of English, both written and spoken, is required. The ideal candidate is a creative, motivated, and solution-oriented team player with an independent, structured working style and strong planning skills.
