About this role
Hill House Home, the lifestyle brand known for its Nap Dress and design-forward bedding and apparel, is looking for a Technical Designer to join its New York product team on a hybrid basis. You'd work three to four days per week in the NYC office, supporting women's ready-to-wear across all categories. The role sits at the intersection of design intent and production reality—you'll maintain tech packs, measure and evaluate samples, lead fittings, and communicate directly with overseas factories to solve fit, construction, and quality issues as they arise.
This position requires at least five years of technical design experience, a degree in Fashion Design or Technical Design, and strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and CAD software. You'll need solid pattern-making knowledge, an eye for garment construction and grading, and the ability to translate design concepts into precise production specifications. The work is detail-oriented and collaborative; you'll partner regularly with design, development, and ecommerce teams while managing your own workload to keep seasonal deliverables on track. Experience with PLM systems is valued but not required.
The salary is fixed at $80,000 annually. This role suits someone who enjoys the technical rigor of sample development and vendor communication, and who can balance multiple product lines while maintaining brand standards and inclusive sizing across sizes.
