To create, develop, and modify high-precision patterns for complex components, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and optimal manufacturability. This role supports prototype development, production readiness, and continuous improvement of pattern workflows.
Key Responsibilities:- Develop accurate patterns from technical drawings, design specifications, and prototypes.
- Convert, digitise, and modify patterns across Gerber and Lectra systems, ensuring compatibility and correct format transfer.
- Create master patterns and templates used in cutting, sewing, assembly, and production processes.
- Adjust patterns for fit, tolerances, material behaviour, and design changes.
- Work closely with product development, engineering, and production teams to refine patterns and resolve technical challenges.
- Conduct pattern grading where required, ensuring consistent sizing and geometry.
- Support prototype builds by preparing cut files, nesting layouts, and material consumption estimates.
- Maintain organised, up-to-date digital and physical pattern libraries.
- Review production feedback to identify and implement pattern improvements.
- Ensure all patterns meet high standards of accuracy, repeatability, and manufacturability.
- Follow internal quality and compliance procedures when creating or approving patterns.
Experience:
