Responsibilities

• 3D Design & Digital Development
• Utilize Browzwear to create and validate 3D garment simulations, enabling fasteriteration and more efficient sample development.
• Leverage 3D tools to review fit, construction, and design details digitally prior to physical sample creation, reducing unnecessary sample rounds.
• Collaborate with Design and Product Development teams to align on 3D fit and construction approvals, streamlining the development process.
• Stay current with emerging 3D design capabilities and identify opportunities to expanddigital workflows across categories.
• Pattern Analysis & Correction
• Read, interpret, and evaluate patterns from internal and overseas pattern engineers, identifying fit and construction issues with a trained eye.
• Provide clear, actionable correction notes to Pattern Engineers to resolve fit discrepancies, grading issues, and construction inconsistencies.
• Maintain fit blocks and grading standards, ensuring accuracy and consistency across categories and size ranges.
• Collaborate with factories and vendors to resolve pattern-related production challenges quickly and effectively.
• Fit Management & Technical Documentation
• Lead and manage technical fit sessions with urgency and precision, evaluating samples against specs and delivering clear, thorough fit comments through PLM.
• Create and maintain detailed tech packs outlining garment measurements, construction standards, fit intent, and quality expectations across product categories.
• Manage fit development from initial handoff through pre-production approval, including graded specification review for bulk production.
• Maintain sample tracking reports to ensure timelines are met and development milestones are achieved without delays.
• Partner with Design, Merchandising, Product Development, and Production to ensure alignment on brand aesthetic, seasonal timelines, and product details.
• Communicate directly and efficiently with domestic and international vendors and factories, including participation in cross-time-zone meetings as needed.
• Proactively identify and resolve development risks to keep projects on track and minimize costly delays.
• Analyze competitive products and market trends to inform fit, construction, and product enhancements aligned with target customer expectations.
