Biomechanical Sportswear Designer Needed

I’m looking for a specialized sportswear technical designer or product developer to create biomechanical-enhanced athletic wear.

Focus areas:
• Muscle support
• Joint stabilization
• Enhancing athletic performance
• Compression
• Breathability and moisture management
• Durability and freedom of movement

Ideal candidate should have:
• Expertise in compression and technical sports apparel design
• Strong knowledge of sports science and biomechanics
• Experience developing garments with biomechanical and performance features
• Ability to turn concepts into functional, high-quality prototypes and production-ready designs
• Familiarity with performance fabrics, material sourcing, and construction techniques
• Proficiency in CAD, patternmaking, and tech pack development
• Ability to collaborate with manufacturers and oversee sampling

Bonus if you have:
• Experience in testing garments with athletes or in lab settings
• Knowledge of global performance standards and certifications (e.g., medical-grade compression, ISO, ASTM)

• A portfolio showcasing similar projects

Please do not apply if you:

X Do not have an apparel, activewear, sportswear, or fashion design background
X Have no background in sportswear, compression, or performance apparel
X Only work on casual wear, evening wear, or non-technical fashion
X Cannot provide a portfolio or examples of past technical sportswear work
X Lack experience creating tech packs, patterns, or prototypes
X Are unfamiliar with performance fabrics, biomechanics, or compression technology

We will not respond to messages or chats from freelancers who do not have these skills or lack a portfolio showcasing tech packs and garment development experience.

Could lead to full time work.
