Product Development:
1. Collaborate with designers to translate concepts into technical specifications and prototypes.
2. Develop detailed tech packs, including materials, construction methods, dimensions, and quality standards.
3. Oversee the creation of prototypes and samples, ensuring they align with design and functional requirements.

Costing and Budget Management:
4. Work with suppliers and manufacturers to negotiate costs and ensure alignment with budget targets.
5. Identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising product quality or design integrity.

Quality Assurance (QA):
6. Establish and enforce quality standards for materials, construction, and finished products.
7. Conduct thorough testing of materials and prototypes for durability, performance, and compliance with industry standards.
8. Perform fit and quality testing on samples and provide feedback to manufacturers for improvements.
9. Inspect production batches to ensure consistency and adherence to quality standards.

Material Sourcing and Testing:
10. Research and source materials (e.g., fabrics, trims, hardware) that meet design, cost, and quality requirements.
11. Test materials for quality, durability, and compliance with safety and regulatory standards.

Production Support:
12. Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure products are produced according to specifications.
13. Monitor production timelines and address any issues that arise during manufacturing.

Documentation and Reporting:
14. Maintain accurate records of product development processes, including costing, materials, and QA results.
15. Track and report on product performance post-launch, including customer feedback and returns.
