  • Maintaining and updating product specifications within the Vantage system.
  • Managing Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and ensuring documentation remains accurate and current.
  • Creating, modifying, and maintaining mini patterns using the Gerber pattern design system.
  • Supporting product development projects from design through production.
  • Collaborating with engineering, patternmaking, and production teams to resolve design questions and improve product quality.
  • Assisting with technical documentation, product records, and process updates.
  • Conducting time studies and collecting production data to support process improvements.
  • Helping coordinate research, testing, and development activities.
  • Ensuring design and production information is accurate, organized, and accessible.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • High School Diploma or equivalent.
  • Strong computer skills and ability to learn technical software systems.
  • Good mathematical aptitude and attention to detail.
  • Basic blueprint reading and interpretation skills.
  • Knowledge of patternmaking principles and sewing terminology.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Gerber, CAD, or other pattern design software.
  • Background in Textile Design, Fashion Design, Product Development, Technical Design, Apparel Construction, or Patternmaking.
  • Experience in a manufacturing or sewn-products environment.
  • Understanding of fabrics, materials, and product construction techniques.

Why Join Commercial Sewing?

At Commercial Sewing, you'll work alongside experienced professionals in design, engineering, and manufacturing while helping create products used by customers across North America.

We Offer:

  • Opportunities for professional growth and advancement
  • Hands-on experience with industry-leading design and manufacturing systems
  • Medical, Dental, and Supplemental Insurance
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan
  • Paid Holidays
  • Summer Shutdown
  • Christmas Break
  • End-of-Year Bonuses
  • Employee Events and Wellness Programs
  • A collaborative, team-oriented culture

Many of our employees have chosen to build long-term careers with us, with team members celebrating 20, 30, and even 40+ years of service.
