Role Overview

The Senior Technical Designer is responsible for owning fit, construction, and execution across Tank Air’s cut & sew categories — from initial proto through SMS and production handoff. This role translates design intent into technically sound, production-ready garments that uphold Tank Air’s reputation for quality and fit. Working closely with Design, Development & Production, and our factory partners, the Senior Technical Designer ensures consistency, quality, and efficiency across all styles. On site at our office in Los Angeles. Reports to the Director of Development & Production (and works closely with the founders).

Key Responsibilities

Product Engineering & Fit

  • Own technical development across cut & sew knits and wovens (tops, dresses, skirts, bottoms, loungewear, and outerwear).
  • Lead fittings from proto through TOP, providing clear, actionable fit comments that balance design intent, comfort, and commercial viability.
  • Develop and maintain base size standards, grade rules, and blocks for core categories, ensuring consistent fit across seasons.
  • Solve construction challenges with an eye toward both aesthetic detail and production feasibility.
  • Partner with patternmakers (internal and external) to refine patterns, improve balance, and resolve recurring fit issues.

Technical Design & Documentation

  • Create, update, and maintain complete, accurate tech packs (measurements, construction details, stitch specs, BOMs, labels, and packaging).
  • Develop detailed construction pages and callouts for new finishes, hardware, and trims.
  • Own and update measurement specs at each stage (proto, fit, PPS, TOP) and track revisions.
  • Ensure all technical documentation is clear and factory-friendly to reduce sampling rounds and minimize errors.
  • Support the transition to or optimization of PLM / digital workflows as the business scales.
  • Sample Development & Quality

  • Manage the technical side of sample development : proto, fit, SMS, PPS, and TOP.
  • Measure and review all incoming samples, flagging variances, and driving alignment with spec.
  • Identify recurring production or fit issues and propose preventative solutions (construction changes, tolerances, QA checkpoints).
  • Partner with factories, patternmakers, and internal team members to troubleshoot complex garments or materials (delicate wovens, bias cuts, rib knits, etc.).
  • Support development and production teams with technical input on fabric and trim selection as it relates to drape, stretch, recovery, and performance.
  • Qualifications

  • 7–10+ years of technical design experience in contemporary or luxury women’s apparel, ideally across both knits and wovens.
  • Deep understanding of garment construction, patternmaking fundamentals, grading, and fit for women’s apparel with past experience in denim, wovens, knits, and outerwear.
  • Proven experience managing fittings and communicating with factories from proto through production.
  • Strong knowledge of fabric behavior (stretch, drape, shrinkage, recovery) and how it impacts fit and construction.
  • Comfortable working with domestic and overseas vendors; experience in LA production is a plus.
  • Highly proficient in Adobe Illustrator, tech pack creation, and spreadsheets (Excel or Google Sheets); experience with PLM or 3D tools (e.g., CLO) is a plus.
  • Extremely detail-oriented, organized, and proactive, with the ability to juggle multiple styles and seasons in a fast-paced, creative environment.
  • Strong communicator with a collaborative mindset and an aesthetic sensitivity aligned with Tank Air’s brand DNA.
