Turn Blank Apparel Into Works of Art Do you speak fluent Illustrator? Get excited about perfect color matches? Love solving technical puzzles and keeping production humming? If so, we may have the perfect role for you.
We're looking for a Sublimation Lead to help drive our fast-paced production environment. You'll be the go-to expert for all things sublimation, from creating production-ready artwork and troubleshooting equipment to helping the team hit critical deadlines. Think part artist, part technician, part problem-solver, and part production superhero.
What You'll Be Doing
Create and edit Adobe Illustrator files for patches, wordmarks, numbers, and custom graphics
Build and support sublimation files using Optitex pattern software
Operate, support, and troubleshoot sublimation printers
Solve file, print, cutting, and pressing issues before they become production headaches
Support rush orders and critical deadlines
Identify potential risks early and communicate solutions to keep projects moving
Match colors with precision and apply color theory knowledge to maintain consistency
Ensure every product meets quality standards and customer expectations
Maintain expertise on approved fabrics, colors, adhesives, and product-specific specifications
Partner with production teams across departments to ensure smooth workflow from print to press to laser
What Makes You a Great Fit · Strong Adobe Illustrator skills (Photoshop experience is a bonus)
· Experience with sublimation printing, production graphics, or technical manufacturing environments
· Familiarity with Optitex, CAD, apparel pattern software, or similar platforms
· Knowledge of sublimation printers, heat presses, roller presses, and production workflows
· Excellent color perception and ability to meet color-vision requirements
· Strong troubleshooting and root-cause problem-solving skills
· Exceptional attention to detail for artwork, colors, fabrics, and production specifications
· Intermediate Microsoft Excel and Outlook/Teams skills
· Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across departments
· Committed to working in a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative workplace · Associate degree in Graphic Design, apparel/pattern technology, manufacturing technology, or equivalent work experience preferred · 2+ years’ experience in Sublimation, graphics production, apparel manufacturing, printing, or a similar production environment
Why You'll Love This Role Every day is different. One minute you're perfecting a color match, the next you're solving a printer mystery, supporting a rush order, or helping bring a custom design to life. If you enjoy combining creativity, technology, and hands-on production work, you'll thrive here.
