Job Description:

At Shinesty, our mission is to force the world to take itself less seriously. We make people laugh first and sell second. Our mothers don't always approve of what we do, but the millions of people we've entertained over the years do.

We are seeking an entry-level, part-time Technical Designer to support our Design and Product Development teams. This role focuses on the hands-on execution and organization of the technical design process, helping ensure accurate sample measurement, clear documentation, and smooth communication across teams.

This role is based in the Denver area, with the ability to work in-office 1-2 days per week, and averages approximately 20 hours per week.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

Sample Management, Measurement & Testing

• Measure incoming samples accurately and consistently according to established standards.
• Check samples against specs and flag discrepancies or issues for review.
• Run wash tests on samples according to internal testing standards and care instructions.
• Measure and document pre- and post-wash results, noting shrinkage, torque, or appearance changes.
• Maintain organized sample tracking throughout the development process.

Technical Documentation & PLM

• Import and maintain measurements, specs, wash results, and fit notes within the PLM system.
• Support tech pack updates based on direction from the Senior Technical Designer.
• Ensure technical information is clearly documented, accurate, and up to date.

Fit Process & Communication

• Organize and prepare for fittings, including sample readiness and documentation.
• Capture, organize, and manage fit comments from fittings.
• Share fit notes, wash results, and updates with Product Development, Design, and the Senior Technical Designer in a clear and timely manner.

Cross-Functional Support

• Partner closely with Design and Product Development to support fit and development needs.
• Assist with general technical design tasks as needed to keep projects moving efficiently.
