Role Overview

We are seeking a motivated Manufacturing Technician to join our production team. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end creation and packaging of textile products, from operating high-tech laser cutting systems to final assembly using industrial sewing machines. This is an entry-level position. While experience is a plus, we are willing to train individuals with strong mechanical aptitude, a keen eye for quality, and the ability to learn.


Key Responsibilities

  • Laser Cutting Operations: 
  • Set up and operate CNC laser cutting machines to precision-cut various textiles.
  • Load fabric rolls or sheets onto the cutting bed, ensuring proper alignment.
  • Perform basic digital file prep and monitor machine software for errors.
  • Industrial Sewing: 
  • Join fabric components using industrial straight-stitch, overlock, or specialized sewing machines.
  • Maintain consistent seam allowances and high-quality stitch integrity.
  • Quality Control & Maintenance:
  • Inspect finished parts for burn marks, fraying, or sewing defects.
  • Perform routine "daily-care" maintenance on machines (oiling, cleaning lint, changing needles/lenses). 
  • Follow technical drawings and assembly instructions accurately.
  • Packaging & Stocking:
  • Post-Production Processing: Clean finished goods (removing loose threads or laser residue) and perform final quality audits.
  • Packaging: Fold, bag, or box finished products according to brand specifications and labeling requirements.
  • Inventory Management: Move completed and packaged units to designated stocking areas or bins; update digital or manual production logs to reflect completed inventory.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Detail-Oriented: Ability to spot a 1/16" deviation in a seam or a flaw in a fabric weave.
  • Technical Aptitude: Comfortable using computers and learning basic CNC software.
  • Manual Dexterity: Strong hand-eye coordination for handling delicate or bulky fabrics.
  • Organization: Ability to manage a tidy workspace and keep track of various SKUs during the packaging phase.
  • Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for extended periods. Comfortable with repetitive hand and wrist motions (folding and bagging). Ability to lift and move bins or boxes up to 60 lbs
  • Education: High School Diploma or equivalent.

Preferred (But Not Required)

  • Previous experience in upholstery, apparel manufacturing, or hobbyist sewing.
  • Familiarity with CAD software (for laser pathing).
  • Experience in a lean manufacturing or "5S" environment.


Company-wide Requirements

  • All candidates must have the legal ability to work in the United States without sponsorship
  • Ability to clearly communicate in a fast-paced work environment
  • Ability to pass a background check
  • Ability to perform physical tasks required of the job
