Position Overview
The Technical Design Associate supports the execution of patterns, specification documentation, and production readiness for sewn product development. This role serves as a key technical bridge between the Specification Writer and Technical Design Assistant by combining spec data accuracy with hands-on pattern insight, technical drawing fluency, and cross-functional communication.
The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, technically skilled, and ready to grow within a fast-paced, collaborative cut-and-sew manufacturing environment.

Pattern Support & Drafting
Assist with digital pattern editing, annotation, and cleanup using internal templates and Gerber/Adobe tools.
Support pattern revisions following fittings, manager feedback, or client notes.
Interpret sample corrections into updated pattern data, flagging inconsistencies before submission.
Ensure files are properly labeled, organized, and uploaded into the team’s shared platforms.
Spec Development & BOM Accuracy
Create and revise spec sheets using measurements and style notes provided by assistants and leads.
Cross-check Bills of Materials (BOMs) with tech packs, materials received, and client instructions.
Support SKU setup and assist with creating pre-production and sample tracking logs.
Reference past styles to estimate sew times or stitch counts when drafting early spec sheets.
Cross-Functional Communication
Serve as a technical liaison between the Spec Writers and the Technical Assistant Leads, surfacing any issues in data integrity, timelines, or pattern discrepancies.
Attend daily check-ins and actively report on style progress and remaining needs.
Communicate clearly and respectfully with samplemakers, floor leads, and other departments.
Process & SOP Compliance
Follow the full Zoho Technical Development workflow—including checklist reviews, photo uploads, and detail annotations.
Maintain a clean and up-to-date digital archive for all styles in development.
Complete required technical forms, quality assurance checks, and document reviews before sign-off.
Skills & Qualifications
1–2 years experience in a technical product development or sewn goods production environment (internship or contract work considered)
Proficient in Excel/Google Sheets, Adobe Illustrator, and/or Gerber or comparable CAD software
Working knowledge of garment construction, pattern shapes, and fit considerations
Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
Able to take direction, adapt quickly, and operate with a growth mindset
