• Collaborate to define material specifications and ensure manufacturability.
• Drive creation of intellectual property through development of novel materials or processes.

• Bachelor's Degree in Textile Engineering, Textile Chemistry, Materials Science, Fashion/Apparel Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years in product development within fashion, activewear, medical, or technical textiles sectors.
• Strong knowledge of textile manufacturing and softgood integration methods (knitting, braiding, coating, finishing, welding, bonding, taping, laminating, thermoforming, overmoulding).
• Proven ability to translate materials research into functional, manufacturable products.
• Excellent communication skills to build effective internal and external relationships.
• Proactive attitude with a passion for innovation and continuous learning.

Preferred:

• Connections with textile suppliers, integrators, and research institutions.
• Experience with digital design tools such as Clo3D, Lectra, Creo.
• Experience working with elastic, breathable, high-contact materials used in inner wear, sportswear, medical garments, etc.

If you're ready for this exciting challenge, submit your resume along with a portfolio or work samples to showcase your skills and achievements.
