Arbetsbeskrivning

Bring your life

Do you have a passion for turning creative ideas into precise, functional sewing patterns? Do you thrive in a hands-on, highly digital role where your technical expertise directly shapes the quality of the products we build? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

What you'll do at Thule

As Product Pattern Maker, you will be responsible for the development of soft goods/textile sewing patterns in both new development and maintenance projects, creating cutting patterns with the best possible design considering cost, performance, function, and compliance.

Your role includes developing and documenting sewing instructions, patterns, samples, and item specs as part of the technical specification package. You'll contribute to defining costing models and take ownership of the soft goods part of Design FMEA, leading design reviews and fitting meetings, both internally and externally with suppliers.

You'll order and evaluate prototypes from Sewing Technicians and provide them with instructions and feedback. Additionally, you will manage the handover from internal development to external suppliers, evaluate their sewing prototypes and provide comments and corrections throughout the process.

As a team member with experience in sewing and textiles, you will assist in the development of test plans, test requirements and corrections to products to ensure they are sustainable and easy to build. Cooperating with the fabric and trim developer, you will help to select and specify appropriate trims, buckles, zippers and labels.

What you bring

To be successful in this role, we believe you have an education in pattern design and some years of relevant work experience. You bring relevant sewing knowledge and familiarity with outdoor products. You're also comfortable working with CAD pattern software such as Gerber or Lectra, and have experience navigating a PLM system.

You are a structured person with strong problem-solving ability, and you enjoy working in a highly digital, hands-on role. You're a team player with good interpersonal and communication skills, and you're fluent in English.

Why you should join Thule

At Thule, we believe in strong teamwork both within your own team and across functions. We strive to be an open and curious organization, sharing knowledge and inspiring one another. You will be part of a company where people are passionate about our products and the active lifestyle they support.

We share common values, and we like to have fun. All employees contribute to maintaining this spirit and making Thule a great place to work.
