About you

We are seeking a specialist technician who is keen to extend our digital practice in technical areas by developing workshops across LCF.

You will live and breathe technology, pick up new tech applications quickly and be able to create new opportunities in the area to develop and enhance the student experience. Key skills may include but not be limited to areas of 3D software (McNeel Rhino, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds max), Virtual Reality (Unity 3D), Augmented Reality, Physical Computing (Ardunio, Raspberry Pi), 3D Printing (FDM and acrylic resin) and Digital Design.

We are seeking a candidate who is able to work simultaneously across multiple projects and sites to help us build a network of technologies, technicians, experiments and ideas for students, staff and research fellows to interact with from within the Lab.

You will relish the opportunity to see students get to grips with a new technology and push it forward, you will be a confident presenter, able to inspire with your dictionary of technology experience, and you will question and work with our academic community to make the seemingly digitally impossible a reality for fashion.

Our remit is broad, and whilst we are seeking a candidate who specialises in one or more areas, we are searching for a hybrid technician who is excited about the possibilities of working in an experimental, and futures facing technical role for fashion.
