Junior Technical Designer North Reading, MA

We’re leading the way in redefining the workwear category. Our mission is to engineer better boots and apparel for our country’s tradesmen and women by working directly with real workers to learn what they actually need to execute their jobs.

The BRUNT team is not only devoted to improving on the old workwear standards, but we’re also creating a community that tradesmen and women can call their own. From our weekly hangouts at the BRUNT Garage, to hosting events across the country, we’re all about getting boots on the ground and building something real with the BRUNT crew.

We’re looking for a highly organized Junior Technical Designer to help bring BRUNT’s apparel and accessories to life from concept through production. Reporting to the Technical Design Manager, this role supports the creation, fitting, and execution of BRUNT’s growing workwear assortment ensuring every style meets our brand standards for durability, performance, and fit.

• Assist in building and maintaining technical packages (tech packs), Bills of Materials (BOMs), and measurement specs.
• Create and update detailed CADs and technical drawings using Adobe Illustrator to clearly communicate design intent.
• Partner with the Sourcing Manager to ensure accurate sample execution and timely delivery.
• Prepare, measure, and document prototype fittings; recording fit notes, revisions, and construction updates.
• Track and follow up on prototype, pre-production, and TOP sample statuses to ensure on-time milestones are met.
• Maintain and execute product data within our PLM system ensuring garment details, vendor communication, and revision history are up to date and production-ready.

• Support fittings, wear tests, and sample reviews to identify fit or construction issues and recommend improvements.
• Assist in monitoring lab dips, trims, fabric approvals, and sample submissions for consistency with brand standards.
• Help identify product quality concerns, document findings, and assist in resolution alongside technical and sourcing teams.
• Contribute to the creation and maintenance of fit libraries, development tools, and sample archives.

• Collaborate with design, sourcing, and production partners to maintain alignment across development stages.
• Communicate clearly with external vendors and internal stakeholders to ensure product accuracy and consistency.
• Stay informed on workwear-specific fabrics, trims, and construction techniques that enhance durability, comfort, and safety.
• Own the receiving, tracking, and distribution of marketing samples, ensuring all incoming and outgoing product is logged, organized, and documented for reference and cross-functional use.

• 1–2 years of experience in apparel development or technical design.
• Foundational knowledge of garment construction, textile and materials, and fit standards; workwear experience a plus.
• Familiarity with industrial safety standards (ANSI, NFPA, etc.) is a plus.
• Familiarity with PLM systems, Adobe Illustrator, and Microsoft Office Suite/Google products. Adobe Creative Suite is a plus.
• Strong organization, attention to detail, and communication skills.
• A collaborative, proactive mindset with a desire to learn and grow in a fast-paced environment.
