Senior Technical Designer

About UNTUCKit

UNTUCKit started with a simple idea: shirts designed to be worn untucked — and look great doing it. Since then, we've grown into a lifestyle brand that men trust for fit, quality, and effortless style across dress shirts, casual tops, pants, shorts, outerwear, and beyond. We are a customer-obsessed, product-first company, and everything we build starts with the belief that clothing should work as hard as the people wearing it.

Our Technical Design team is central to delivering on that promise. Every fit decision, construction choice, and specification we set directly shapes how a customer feels the moment he puts on an UNTUCKit garment. We're looking for a Senior Technical Designer to help us raise that bar even higher.

The Role

As Senior Technical Designer, Men's, you will own the full technical development lifecycle for assigned Men's categories — from initial prototype through bulk approval. You'll be a critical cross-functional partner to Design, Product Development, Merchandising, Sourcing, Production, and global factories, ensuring that every product we bring to market is true to its design intent, technically flawless, and ready to produce at scale.

This is a high-ownership role. You bring deep expertise, operate independently, lead fit sessions with authority, and coach both internal teams and factory partners. You anticipate problems before they become samples and bring solutions — not just questions — to every challenge.

What You'll Do

Fit & Product Execution

●   Own technical development from first prototype through pre-production and bulk approval.

●   Prepare, measure, and evaluate garments ahead of every fitting.

●   Lead fit sessions with Design, Product Development, and cross-functional partners.

●   Evaluate garments for fit, balance, proportion, construction, functionality, and aesthetic.

●   Translate fit observations into clear, actionable pattern and construction corrections.

●   Protect Design intent while ensuring product is technically sound and production-ready.

●   Troubleshoot complex fit, pattern, and construction issues and drive appropriate solutions.

Patternmaking & Garment Engineering

●   Apply advanced knowledge of men's patternmaking, construction, grading, and manufacturing.

●   Evaluate paper and digital patterns and communicate accurate corrections.

●   Understand garment balance, shaping, ease, proportion, and the fabric–pattern relationship.

●   Establish and maintain construction methods appropriate to category, fabrication, design intent, and cost.

●   Identify opportunities to improve garment engineering, efficiency, and product quality.

Fit Blocks & Standardization

●   Develop, maintain, and evolve Men's fit blocks and body standards.

●   Ensure approved blocks serve as the consistent foundation for new product development.

●   Simplify and standardize blocks, specs, and construction standards where possible.

●   Partner with leadership to continuously refine fit standards based on performance and customer feedback.

Tech Packs, Specs & PLM

●   Create and maintain accurate tech packs and specifications through the full development cycle.

●   Establish and validate Points of Measure, grade rules, tolerances, and construction requirements.

●   Enter fit comments, measurements, construction details, photos, and approvals into PLM on schedule.

●   Create and update technical sketches and construction details in Adobe Illustrator.

Sample Management & Calendar

●   Manage technical development from prototype through production approval.

●   Track fit samples and approvals against the product-development calendar.

●   Identify technical and calendar risks early; communicate solutions proactively.

●   Drive timely approvals without compromising product integrity.

Cross-Functional & Vendor Partnership

●   Build strong partnerships with Design, Product Development, Merchandising, Sourcing, Production, and Quality.

●   Serve as the technical authority for assigned Men's categories.

●   Partner directly with domestic and international vendors, factories, and technical teams.

●   Conduct and participate in virtual and in-person fittings with global partners.

●   Coach factory technical teams on fit, pattern, construction, grading, and quality expectations.

●   Support initiatives to move technical decision-making closer to the source while maintaining brand standards.

Digital Product Creation

●   Support integration of 3D and digital product-development tools into the technical design process.

●   Review and evaluate digital garment samples and patterns where appropriate.

●   Identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary physical samples and improve development speed.

Requirements

What You Bring

●   Bachelor's degree in Technical Design, Fashion Design, Apparel Manufacturing, Patternmaking, or equivalent professional experience.

●   8+ years of progressive Technical Design experience with significant Men's apparel expertise.

●   Advanced knowledge of Men's fit, patternmaking, grading, garment construction, and manufacturing.

●   Strong command of woven and knit product across multiple Men's categories.

●   Ability to evaluate and communicate pattern corrections with precision.

●   Solid knowledge of specs, grade rules, tolerances, and garment measurements.

●   Experience working directly with overseas vendors, factories, and technical teams.

●   Strong PLM and technical-package experience.

●   Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft Excel.

●   Experience with 3D apparel development platforms (Browzwear or CLO) is a strong plus.

●   Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills.

●   Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with strong organizational skills.

How You Lead

●   You take full ownership of your categories — the fit, the quality, the calendar.

●   You mentor junior team members and elevate the technical team around you.

●   You challenge existing processes when you see a better path.

●   You anticipate problems and bring solutions forward with urgency and sound judgment.

●   You promote consistency, efficiency, and technical excellence across the organization.

What Success Looks Like

●   Best-in-class fit — consistent across styles, vendors, and seasons.

●   Accurate, production-ready technical execution with fewer iterations.

●   On-time technical approvals without compromising product integrity.

●   Strong, collaborative vendor and factory performance.

●   Continuous improvement in technical design processes and standards.
