Print Designer, Engineered Patterns

Job description

POSITION SUMMARY
ALICE + OLIVIA is seeking a Technical Print Designer specializing in engineered patterns to join our Print & Concept Design team. This role sits at the intersection of creative print artwork and technical development - translating original concepts into placement and engineered layouts that are fully production-ready. You will own the journey of a print from initial artwork through repeat, strike-off, and hand-off to production partners, ensuring print developments are engineered to the garment and executed to the brand's signature standard of femininity, color, and detail. The ideal candidate is a meticulous print technician and an inventive designer in equal measure - equally comfortable engineering a print to a specific silhouette and fluent in the file preparation, color, and vendor communication that move a print from the studio to the sales floor.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Engineered & placement print design - Create original engineered, placement, border, and scarf prints designed to specific garment shapes and silhouettes, balancing artistic intent with the realities of pattern, cut, and construction.
  • Development-ready artwork - Build clean, production-ready files: set repeats, resolve seam and panel alignment, and prepare artwork so it can be executed accurately by mills and printers without ambiguity.
  • Strike-offs & lab dips - Review strike-offs, lab dips, and print proofs; mark corrections for scale, placement, registration, and color; and drive artwork to approval on development timelines.
  • Mill & vendor partnership - Collaborate with mills, converters, and print vendors on technical feasibility, minimums, and quality, translating design intent into clear, printable specifications.
  • Cross-functional collaboration - Partner closely with the design, product development, and production teams to align prints with fabric, garment engineering, and delivery calendars.
  • Archive & library - Maintain an organized, well-documented print and CAD library, ensuring version control and easy retrieval of engineered layouts and repeats.

QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ years of print design experience in apparel or textiles, with a portfolio demonstrating engineered and placement prints.
  • Proven ability to create production-ready artwork - repeats, engineered layouts, color iterations, and print-ready files.
  • Advanced proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop; experience with textile CAD systems.
  • Strong color acuity and understanding of color balance, hue levels, and colorway development.
  • Working knowledge of print methods (digital, rotary, screen) and their impact on artwork preparation.
  • Experience reviewing strike-offs and lab dips and communicating color corrections to mills and vendors.
  • Exceptional attention to detail, organization, and ability to manage multiple projects against development deadlines.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Degree in Textile Design, Surface Design, Fashion Design, or a related field.
  • Experience in contemporary women's ready-to-wear.
  • Familiarity with PLM systems for tech pack and development workflows.
  • Understanding of textile finishing as it relates to engineered placements.

$100,000 - $115,000 base salary (This range represents the low and high end of the anticipated base salary range for this NYC-based position. The base salary will depend on numerous factors such as: experience and qualifications for the role, experience level, skill set, and balancing internal equity relative to other AO employees.)
