Tanggung Jawab Pekerjaan

Lead and manage all textile research, digital pattern engineering, and sample prototyping activities to ensure designs are translated into precise, durable, well-fitting garments ready for efficient mass production
Oversee the end-to-end product engineering workflow, from design sketch reception and digital master pattern creation to lab testing and physical sample assembly (Proto, Fit, Pre-Production Sample)
Direct new fabric research, overseeing shrinkage tests, colorfastness evaluations, and the establishment of technical material tolerances prior to the cutting process
Verify and grant final technical approval for digital CAD patterns (Optitex), size grading, and cutting markers to maximize fabric consumption efficiency
Lead fitting sessions with designers and technical teams to evaluate wearability, size proportions, and garment construction stability
Analyze sewing feasibility and proactively instruct design modifications or alternative construction methods to prevent technical defects during mass factory production
Control the absolute accuracy of final Tech Packs, including stitch details, measurement charts/tolerances, and garment assembly instructions
Manage Sample Room capacity and production schedules to ensure all prototype handover targets align with product launch timelines
Collaborate with Merchandiser Costing and Industrial Engineering (IE) teams regarding actual Bill of Materials (BOM) consumption and estimated sewing durations (SAM/SMV)
