Job Description

Gymreapers is looking for a Product Developer & Designer to own performance gear and accessories from first sketch through bulk production. This onsite role in Nampa, ID brings together product design, technical development, sampling, testing and compliance, and packaging and launch readiness across multiple categories. You will partner with domestic and overseas vendors and help move concepts into production-ready items that support strength, fitness, and performance.

What you’ll own

Turn market, competitor, and athlete insights into product concepts, sketches, and clear design direction across belts, straps, wraps, grips, bags, recovery, and training equipment.
Design with performance, durability, fit, aesthetics, and brand alignment in mind while identifying innovation opportunities in both new and existing categories.
Support product ideation and roadmap development, including category expansion.
Run competitive teardowns to locate design gaps and failure points.
Create and maintain production-ready tech packs, including construction details, points of measure, BOMs, materials, hardware, branding placement, packaging requirements, and compliance needs.
Produce CAD files, technical drawings, and pattern-ready files that communicate dimensions, tolerances, and construction intent.
Select materials and hardware (webbing, nylon, neoprene, foam, leather, plastics, metals, buckles, trims) with both cost and manufacturability in mind.
Apply design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly thinking to protect cost, quality, and scalability.
Manage day-to-day development and sampling, including sample rounds, fit sessions, and prototype reviews with the factory and vendor partners.
Provide specific sample feedback and drive revisions toward approval.
Negotiate cost, MOQs, and timelines directly with factories, with focus on margin and target IMU.
Approve pre-production submissions (materials, components, molds, tooling, packaging) and support bulk production approval.
Plan and review wear, load, and functional testing to set performance and durability benchmarks.
Enforce quality standards on samples and production units, working with vendors to resolve construction or workmanship issues.
Manage vendor testing requirements, assess risk for new materials, constructions, tooling, and suppliers, and support packaging development that balances protection, cost, retail readiness, and brand presentation.
Own the calendar from concept to production handoff, including milestones, prototype rounds, material lead times, and approvals, and keep launch schedules current across multiple projects and seasons.
Maintain accuracy in PLM and Jira for SKUs, costing, specs, revisions, and approvals, and keep vendor files organized in shared folders.
Support launch readiness with Merchandising, Marketing, and Creative, including packaging reviews and sample approvals.

What you bring

3+ years in product development and design for performance gear, sporting goods, accessories, bags, tactical gear, or consumer products (hard goods, softgoods, or both).
Experience personally owning both design and development of products brought to market, from concept sketch through production, with a portfolio or track record.
Production-ready tech pack skills and strong knowledge of materials, hardware, and construction methods, including sewn-product construction.
Hands-on experience running sample rounds and working directly with overseas factories on cost, MOQs, and timelines.
Proficiency in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, plus Excel for BOMs and cost breakdowns.
Experience owning a development calendar and managing multiple projects across multiple seasons.
Strong organization, follow-through, and communication, with a habit of flagging risks early.
Genuine passion for strength, fitness, and performance gear.
