Technical Apparel Designer / Pattern Maker – High-Performance Compression Gear / Base Layers

We are Hauberk™ Tactical Apparel, an upcoming premium personal protective equipment (PPE) and workwear brand based in New Jersey. We are engineering a revolutionary line of on-duty personal protective base-layers (compression boxers, high-neck hybrid compression tops, and specialized female tactical undergarments) designed out of operational necessity to protect first responders and industrial athletes from chronic dermal carcinogen and toxic particulate absorption. We are seeking an expert, USA-based Technical Apparel Designer / Pattern Maker to act as our technical consultant, map our structural patterns, and build out production-ready digital Tech Packs. Our Product & Fabric Profile: Our garments are constructed from an ultra-thin, high-stretch ~330 GSM 3-ply laminated composite fabric featuring: Layer 01 (Exterior Face): 100% Synthetic Modacrylic / Aramid / Spandex inherently flame-resistant compression knit. Layer 02 (Core Shield): DuPont™ Nomex® Nano Flex or Stedfast Stedair® PREVENT non-woven particulate barrier membrane. Layer 03 (Skin Gate): Noble Biomaterials Ionic+® micro-brushed silver-ion antimicrobial jersey. Clear Expectations & Fixed-Price Milestones: This project is structured into three specific escrow-backed phases: Milestone 1: Sourcing Yield Calculations: Before any patterns are drawn, you will calculate our precise linear yardage, roll width, and stretch allowance data for our 3 input layers so we can order exact sample rolls from our fabric mills. Milestone 2: Initial Tech Pack & Ergonomic Blueprint: Draft the master pattern shapes. Patterns must integrate a Diamond Axilla Gusset (underarms) and a U-Shape Inguinal Saddle (groin) to shift all seam lines completely away from high-friction flesh creases. Specify flat, un-raised 6-needle, 4-thread flatlock stitching parameters and interior wash tags reading: "MACHINE WASH COLD. TUMBLE DRY LOW. DO NOT USE LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER OR BLEACH." Milestone 3: Final Grading & 3D Renderings: Deliver production-ready DXF/ASTM pattern files graded cleanly from XS to 3XL, alongside high-fidelity 3D visual mockups/renderings for our investor data room. You will be working directly with our Founder & Principal Architect, to prepare this product line for rigorous laboratory certification testing at UL Solutions and Hohenstein.
