3D Tech Designer

Overview

Alo is seeking a visionary 3D Technical Designer to lead the digital evolution of our garment development process. This role is at the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. You will be responsible for procuring high-fidelity 3D garment assemblies, collaborating with Fit Technicians to perfect silhouettes, and translating digital files into production-ready assets.

The ideal candidate possesses a rare blend of technical engineering and artistic instinct, allowing them to optimize garment construction for both economic efficiency and the iconic "alo fit."

Responsibilities

• Execute advanced 3D prototypes in CLO based on Technical Design Block direction from the Director of Technical Design, ensuring garments accurately reflect construction, drape, and performance standards.

• Serve as the primary administrator for CLO 3D and the CLO-SET environment, maintaining platform integrity and digital governance.

• Manage and organize global digital libraries including fabrics, trims, blocks, avatars, and hardware, ensuring all assets meet quality and accuracy benchmarks.

• Support and evolve digital workflows to reduce physical sample waste while accelerating speed-to-market and increasing operational efficiency.

• Assist in testing new digital tools and software enhancements, providing structured feedback and implementation recommendations.

• Define and maintain quality standards for all 3D assets, including fabric scan accuracy, trim digitization, and garment simulation performance.

• Drive reduction in physical sample iterations through high-fidelity digital prototypes, building a scalable and sustainable digital ecosystem.

• Monitor CLO fit notes in collaboration with Technical Designers and Fit Experts, producing refined 3D assets for review by Technical Fit Advisors.

• Manage PLM data pull requests regarding specs, style history, and timestamping to ensure a “single source of truth.”

• Organize style queues for vendor comments and ensure 3D assets clearly communicate construction requirements to global manufacturing partners.

Requirements

• Degree in Fashion Design, Apparel Manufacturing, or related technical field.

• Advanced proficiency in CLO 3D and CLO-SET; experience with fabric scanning and digital trim application is essential.

• Expert-level knowledge of sewing, patternmaking, and garment assembly, with a deep understanding of how 2D patterns translate into 3D drape.

• Experience working across multiple product categories (activewear required; knit and woven experience preferred).

• High proficiency in PLM systems and Adobe Creative Suite.

• Highly organized, detail-oriented multi-tasker with a passion for digital tailoring, innovation, and sustainable fashion.
