Developing and industrialising seamless yarns, knit constructions, and material platforms across multiple product categories.
Translating consumer needs such as sculpting, support, compression, softness, breathability, opacity, sweat management, and comfort into innovative yarn and knit solutions.
Supporting fibre selection, yarn specification, elastane construction, covering methods, feeder allocation, yarn pathing, and machine set-up decisions to achieve desired performance outcomes.
Collaborating closely with Seamless Technical Development, Knit Programming, Product Development, Design, Colour, and Sourcing teams throughout the development process.
Partnering with yarn suppliers and seamless manufacturing partners to develop proprietary and commercially scalable seamless material solutions.
Supporting the development of seamless knit architectures including rib, mesh, jacquard, tuck, float, plating, engineered ventilation, waistbands, under bust structures, and body-mapped compression zones.
Building supplier capability through technical collaboration, performance reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Supporting seamless-specific testing and validation programmes, including stretch and recovery, compression, opacity, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, pilling, colour fastness, and wash durability.
Interpreting laboratory, wear trial, and supplier testing data and converting findings into clear technical action plans.
Integrating sustainability considerations into yarn, material, and product development to improve environmental performance without compromising product quality or functionality.
Contributing to commercial engineering decisions involving yarn cost, stitch complexity, machine time, lead times, and manufacturing efficiency.
Maintaining accurate technical documentation, including yarn specifications, knit construction records, test reports, supplier capability data, and development libraries.
Managing and developing seamless yarn, stitch architecture, body-mapping, and material platform libraries.
Supporting the creation of Gymshark-owned seamless platforms, proprietary knit structures, technical claims, and supplier-exclusive developments.
