Print Designer, Engineered Patterns

Position SummaryALICE + OLIVIA is seeking a Technical Print Designer specializing in engineered patterns to join our Print & Concept Design team. This role sits at the intersection of creative print artwork and technical development — translating original concepts into placement and engineered layouts that are fully production-ready.

You will own the journey of a print from initial artwork through repeat, strike-off, and hand-off to production partners, ensuring print developments are engineered to the garment and executed to the brand’s signature standard of femininity, color, and detail.

The ideal candidate is a meticulous print technician and an inventive designer in equal measure — equally comfortable engineering a print to a specific silhouette and fluent in the file preparation, color, and vendor communication that move a print from the studio to the sales floor.

Key Responsibilities

Engineered & placement print design — Create original engineered, placement, border, and scarf prints designed to specific garment shapes and silhouettes, balancing artistic intent with the realities of pattern, cut, and construction.

Development-ready artwork — Build clean, production-ready files: set repeats, resolve seam and panel alignment, and prepare artwork so it can be executed accurately by mills and printers without ambiguity. Strike-offs & lab dips — Review strike-offs, lab dips, and print proofs; mark corrections for scale, placement, registration, and color; and drive artwork to approval on development timelines.

Mill & vendor partnership — Collaborate with mills, converters, and print vendors on technical feasibility, minimums, and quality, translating design intent into clear, printable specifications. Cross-functional collaboration — Partner closely with the design, product development, and production teams to align prints with fabric, garment engineering, and delivery calendars.

Archive & library — Maintain an organized, well-documented print and CAD library, ensuri
