We're a premium women's bottomwear D2C brand based in Coimbatore, and we're looking for an experienced Fabric Technologist to consult on a freelance basis for our woven fabric development.
You'll work closely with our fashion designer to translate design intent — feel, fall, compactness — into precise, manufacturable fabric specifications.
? Responsibilities:
Design fabric construction to match design brief: weave type, yarn count, blend %, GSM, cover factor
Specify and validate fabric strength, crimp, and recovery parameters
Develop the technical spec sheet / tech pack shared with the weaver and processing unit
Evaluate and approve lab dips, strike-offs, and swatches against the original design intent
Troubleshoot fabric issues — shrinkage, pilling, colorfastness, hand-feel deviations from spec
Work directly with the design team to bridge aesthetic requirements and technical execution
? Skills & Experience Required:
B.Tech/M.Tech in Textile Technology or equivalent




8+ years in fabric R&D;/development, ideally with a composite mill or fabric manufacturing unit
Strong command of woven construction — plain, twill, satin, dobby weaves and how each affects drape and hand-feel
Working knowledge of yarn engineering and blend combinations (cotton-lycra, cotton-poly, etc.)
Familiarity with fabric testing standards — tensile strength, shrinkage, colorfastness
Understanding of how dyeing/processing affects final fabric hand-feel and fall
Prior experience developing wovens specifically for apparel (not only home textiles/industrial fabrics)
Solid technical documentation skills
? Engagement: Freelance/consultant, project-based or light retainer
? Interested, or know someone who fits?
