Job description

About Us :

Naadam is redefining luxury by delivering the worlds finest cashmere at an accessible price. Founded in 2013, with a vision to bring premium, sustainably made cashmere to the everyday wardrobe, weve built a brand that values innovation, transparency, and connection with our customers.

At Naadam, we are dedicated to pushing limits, nailing the details, and delivering products that are built to last. We pride ourselves on combining quality, craftsmanship, and modern design to create timeless, versatile pieces that are soft AF!

Job Summary :

Naadam is seeking an accomplished and detail-oriented Technical Designer (Knitwear) to play a key role in advancing our product development and lifecycle strategy. In this capacity, you will oversee all technical design functions — from concept through final production — across men’s and women’s collections for e-commerce, wholesale, and private-label channels.

You will apply advanced expertise in knitting construction, yarn behavior, and fit engineering to translate creative vision into refined, production-ready garments. Responsibilities include interpreting design concepts and developing precise Tech Packs with detailed specifications, grading, and construction notes; leading fit sessions and owning fit comments and corrections; and building photorealistic 3D renders in Clo 3D for each style. Partnering closely with Design, Product Development, and Production teams, you’ll ensure the seamless realization of design intent with technical precision, consistency, and silhouette integrity. You will also mentor junior team members, champion best practices, and drive ongoing improvements in process, efficiency, and product quality.

If you have a love for knitwear and wovens, an eye for detail, and a passion for bringing design to life, we’d love to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities :

  • Read and clearly understand notes from the Design team, turning their ideas into accurate technical details, and follow up when clarification is needed.
  • Create Initial Tech Packs, complete with detailed notes, specs, POM guides when necessary, 3D renders, and any other supporting elements needed.
  • Develop all new styles in Clo 3D, accurately reflecting the vision and details for each individual style.
  • Manage email communication with external vendors with questions across style development, construction, and grading.
  • Lead fittings for mens and womens wholesale, e-commerce, and private label product lines, by maintaining the brand’s look, silhouette, and proportion within targeted price points.
  • Apply fit comments using Centric PLM on fit and construction through comprehensive Tech Packs, including diagrams, pattern edits, and photos.
  • Troubleshoot technical challenges related to fit, fabric, construction, grading, and cost, providing effective solutions.
  • Assess prototypes and fit samples to ensure they meet brand expectations in terms of measurements, construction, and overall quality.
  • Help uphold consistency in technical design processes and product development workflows.
  • Collaborate with factory technical teams to ensure accurate execution of construction, finishing, and fit.
  • Maintain consistent fit, construction quality, and design intent across all vendors and styles within the assigned category.
  • Contribute technical expertise during key milestone meetings, particularly on fit and construction matters.
  • Encourage open dialogue and collaboration within the team, while professionally receiving and incorporating feedback.
  • Work closely with Naadam’s Design team to gain alignment on design vision, fit goals, and construction strategies.

Skills :

  • Expert in fully fashioned knitwear with comprehensive knowledge of cut-and-sew and woven constructions
  • Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite
  • Experience with PLM systems, particularly Centric, is a plus
  • Strong working knowledge of CLO 3D rendering (moderate to high proficiency)
  • Proven ability to fit garments across designated product categories
  • Skilled at identifying fit concerns and recommending practical, effective solutions
  • Experience developing precise technical specification packages
  • Strong background in pattern making, grading, garment engineering, and construction techniques
  • Comprehensive understanding of the full product lifecycle from concept through production
  • Demonstrated experience partnering with overseas factories, particularly across Southeast Asia, are preferred
  • Excellent written and spoken communication abilities
  • Highly detail-oriented with a strong sense of urgency and problem-solving mindset
  • Strong time management skills with the ability to multitask and prioritize in a fast-paced environment
  • Well-organized with the capacity to manage shifting priorities and deadlines
  • Strong analytical thinking and an ability to resolve technical challenges efficiently
  • Team-oriented with a collaborative work style
  • Qualifications :

  • Bachelors Degree in Fashion or a related field
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in Technical Design or a related field
  • Background in full fashioned knitwear
  • 1-2 years of some management experience
  • Benefits :

  • Paid Vacation
  • Health Insurance
  • 401k Plan
  • Hybrid Work - Employees are required to be in office at least 3 days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday
  • Salary Range : $ 85,000 - $90,000
