Position: Full-time, on-site

Benefits: Health Insurance.

We are seeking an experienced Sample Maker / Advanced Industrial Sewer to turn design concepts, patterns, and technical specifications into high-quality product samples and prototypes.

The ideal candidate can independently sew a complete product from start to finish, operate multiple industrial sewing machines, and troubleshoot construction and fabric issues before full-scale production begins.

Responsibilities

Sew, assemble, and finish complete pre-production samples using tech packs, patterns, and fabric specifications.
Determine the correct assembly sequence from flat patterns and technical drawings without step-by-step instructions.
Set up, thread, operate, and troubleshoot industrial sewing equipment, including walking foot, cylinder, and automated sewing machines (AMS).
Work with different fabric types and weights, adjusting needles and machine tension to prevent material damage.
Identify construction flaws and sewing bottlenecks, and recommend improvements to simplify production.
Inspect finished samples for accurate measurements, proper stitching, tension, and compliance with design specifications.
Communicate technical issues and recommendations to design and production team members.
Manage multiple sample projects and meet production deadlines.

Required Qualifications

At least 5 years of experience in a commercial sewing factory or as an advanced industrial sewer.
Proven ability to sew an entire product independently, from initial assembly through final finishing. Experience must extend beyond performing a single repetitive operation on an assembly line.
Bilingual communication skills in English and Spanish.
Proficiency in setting up, threading, operating, and troubleshooting walking foot, cylinder, and automated sewing machines (AMS).
Ability to read and follow technical specifications, measurement charts, labels, and construction instructions.
Ability to accurately read a ruler or tape measure to 1/8 inch.
Knowledge of fabric structures, needle selection, machine tension, and advanced sewing techniques.
Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills, manual dexterity, and time management.
Reliable attendance and ability to commute to a full-time, on-site position.

Preferred Qualifications

Patternmaking experience.
Experience with single-needle machines, overlock machines, and die cutters.
Experience developing prototypes and recommending improvements for production.

Physical Requirements

Occasionally lift and carry fabric rolls, bundles, or storage bins weighing up to 50 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.
Perform repetitive hand, wrist, and arm movements while pulling, guiding, and sewing materials.

Submit an updated resume highlighting your industrial sewing experience, the types of products you have completed independently, and the machines you can confidently set up and operate.

Please include your pay expectations when applying. Starting pay is $28.00 per hour.
