Job description

Pattern Maker / Product Development Specialist

Bring Your Textile and Patternmaking Skills to Life

Are you passionate about pattern development, product design, and transforming complex shapes into functional, high-quality products?

Commercial Sewing is seeking a creative and detail-oriented Pattern Maker to help develop innovative marine and powersports cover systems used by leading manufacturers across North America.

This is a unique opportunity for someone with a background in Textile Design, Textile Engineering, Fashion Design, Technical Design, Product Development, or Patternmaking who wants to apply their skills in a hands-on product development environment.

From concept through production, you'll create patterns, develop prototypes, solve fit challenges, and collaborate with a team dedicated to designing products that protect some of the most recognized boats and powersports vehicles on the market.

If you love working with textiles, understanding how materials behave, and creating products that combine form and function, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

  • Create and develop production-ready patterns for marine and powersports cover systems.
  • Translate product concepts into accurate, manufacturable patterns.
  • Build and evaluate prototypes for fit, function, performance, and appearance.
  • Analyze complex three-dimensional shapes and develop precision-fit solutions.
  • Work with a variety of technical fabrics, materials, and components.
  • Collaborate with engineering, product development, sewing, cutting, and production teams.
  • Conduct fit evaluations and implement pattern adjustments as needed.
  • Support new product development projects and model-year updates.
  • Improve product performance, manufacturability, and overall customer experience.
  • Maintain and revise pattern libraries and technical documentation.

Qualifications

  • Experience creating patterns for sewn products, apparel, upholstery, marine products, or similar applications.
  • Strong understanding of textile materials, fabric behavior, fit, and construction methods.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a product development environment.
  • CAD and digital patternmaking experience is a plus.
  • Experience with marine, automotive, upholstery, performance, or industrial fabrics is highly desirable.

Why You'll Love This Role

Unlike many design positions, you'll see your work move from concept to finished product.

You'll Have the Opportunity To:

  • Design products used by leading OEM manufacturers across North America.
  • Work with innovative textile materials and technical fabrics.
  • Solve unique pattern and fit challenges every day.
  • Develop products that combine aesthetics, engineering, and functionality.
  • Collaborate with experienced professionals in design, manufacturing, and product development.
