As Fabric Technologist you will be responsible for the technical development and quality control of all BYBORRE Textiles™ and Create™ fabrics. You ensure that performance and quality standards are met in every fabric, whether it's made in our own knit lab and with our partner factories.
\n
To manage the development and quality process successfully you will work closely with the Product Team in the technical development of fabrics for our Textiles(™) collections and will assess the viability of all knitted fabrics within the capabilities of machinery (circular knitting), yarns, costings and the quality & performance (end use) of the fabric. In this process you will provide technical fabric support to the sales and product team in the development of our Textiles™ release(s), brief third party manufacturing partners on knits, brief and coordinate performance testing on fabrics, undertake quality evaluations of fabrics from the knit lab and check the quality of the final production.

Join our diverse team of specialists reinventing the textile industry!
There is nothing in life that we use more than textiles. Among the oldest and most universal objects produced by humans, textiles have proven to be a reliable tool that enhances our lives and brings across stories. Their influence goes beyond imagination. And yet, the journey that leads to a textile’s existence often remains unquestioned.
\n
At BYBORRE, we are on a mission to drastically change the textile industry as we know it today. Envisioning a future where textiles are made with conscious intent, we merge the physical and digital worlds of textile creation, unlock material innovation and establish a transparent supply chain to give our customers worldwide access to responsible textiles for the products we use everyday.
\n
Based in Amsterdam we have our own knitting lab with a range of circular knitting machines and an extensive yarn library. We experiment and innovate to create the most responsible knits of the highest quality.
\n
We offer a collection of responsible textiles to our customers, with the opportunity to create custom textile. Our primary focus lies within the interior and apparel segments. Primarily, we direct our efforts towards brands, architects, project developers, designers and the end consumer. We offer our products and aim to raise awareness about the state of the textile industry by emphasizing how (our) responsible textiles can be a game changer.
\n
By exploring new textile design and manufacturing processes that are less wasteful, harmful, inflexible and more collaborative, open and inspiring, we are creating a movement that challenges the conventional norms of the industry – encouraging you to think differently about textiles and inviting you to be part of something bigger.
