Job description

We're hiring an experienced CAD Pattern Maker to develop accurate, production-ready patterns for men's and women's leather jackets, outerwear and apparel for international markets. This is a technical pattern-making position—not a graphic-design or basic CAD-operator role. The selected candidate must understand garment fit, construction, grading and physical sampling in addition to operating pattern CAD software.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create and digitize accurate patterns from tech packs, physical samples, reference images, finished-garment measurements, and approved base blocks.
• Develop complete production patterns for shell, lining, facing, fusing, pockets, and reinforcement components.
• Amend patterns based on fit sessions, sample measurements, photographs, and technical feedback, and grade approved patterns across required US size ranges.
• Ensure pattern accuracy by checking seam balance, curves, sleeve/armhole and collar/neckline compatibility, shell/lining alignment, seam allowances, grainlines, notches, drill points, and labels.
• Prepare production-ready patterns for different materials and export DXF AAMA/ASTM files and full-scale PDFs for internal teams and suppliers.
• Participate in base-size, fit-sample, and size-set reviews.
• Maintain pattern revision history and an organized digital library of approved patterns to prevent obsolete versions from being used.
• Coordinate closely with technical design, sampling, cutting, stitching, fit, and quality-control teams.

Key Requirements:

• Minimum 4- 5years of professional apparel pattern-making experience, including at least 2 years of hands-on garment CAD experience.
• Proficiency in Gerber AccuMark, Lectra Modaris, Optitex, TUKAcad, or equivalent, along with strong manual pattern-making knowledge.
• Experience with leather jackets, structured outerwear, coats, bombers, or similar products is strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of US men's and women's sizing, grading, garment measurements, fit correction, and pattern construction.
• Good technical understanding of leather behavior, lining, interfacing, hardware placement, and ability to work accurately in both inches and centimetres.
• Diploma or qualification in fashion, garment technology, or pattern making is preferred; strong relevant practical experience may substitute.
