Director - Factory Integration & AI Enablement

The Problem You Will Solve:

Legacy sewing factories are islands—manual, opaque, and immune to traditional digitization. At Resonance, we’ve built the MetaOne and CreateOne systems to express design intent in precise, machine-readable code. But for that intelligence to loop and learn, the real world must speak back.

Your role is to turn legacy factory analog chaos into a feedback-rich digtial execution layer—so every stitch, deviation, and defect becomes structured data that trains our AI operating system, CreateOne to get smarter with every run.

You’ll transform cut-and-sew operations into “compute nodes”: certified factories that interpret digital instructions, execute them reliably, and stream back telemetry. You’ll design onboarding protocols, diagnose operational friction, and shape experiments that allow our systems to learn—not just from patterns, but from people and machines in motion.

This is AI-first manufacturing—but AI can’t learn from noise. It needs your structure. Your discipline. Your translation of tacit knowledge into deterministic inputs.

You’re not just solving production breakdowns. You’re constructing the interface where human craft and machine intelligence co-evolve.You are writing the Rosetta Stone of physical execution.

One factory at a time. One stitch at a time.

Resonance is building the AI Operating System for Clothing

We’re solving one of the world’s most complex industrial problems: how to turn creative intent into real products, on demand, with no inventory, no waste, and no compromise. Our mission isn’t to move fashion faster—it’s to re-architect how an entire industry works.

Our platform, CreateOne, is a fully integrated, intelligent system that transforms pixels into physical clothing—coordinating design, decision-making, and manufacturing across a dynamic global network. It’s not a point solution. It’s an entirely new model for how products can be created, made, and sold in the 21st century.

This is the future of enterprise technology—intelligent, dynamic systems that learn, adapt, and orchestrate every node of a value chain, from design to delivery. With over 14,000 brands onboarded and 400,000 garments produced, we’ve proven what’s possible when software, data, and manufacturing are no longer siloed.

If you're driven to solve problems that matter, and to build what no one else has dared to attempt, Resonance is where you belong.

About You

You understand that the fashion industry, as you know it, is dead. You realize that everything you know, every experience you have lived, is valuable, but only if you have the courage and are ready and willing to break it all apart and reassemble it using new tools and technology to build something 100 times more powerful and exciting.

You are a factory whisperer—an ops leader who has modernized brown‑field plants before, loves structured problem‑solving, and possesses the steadiness and detail orientation that perfectly offsets a high‑octane leadership culture.

• Bridge the analog and digital worlds of garment production.
• Help define the protocol that lets any factory become a CreateOne node.
• Turn human process understanding into machine-executable knowledge.
• Be the operational force that transforms global apparel execution.

Responsibilities

Factory Capability Mapping

• Conduct capability audits and document factory setups (machine mix, folder attachments, operator skills).
• Translate floor constraints into structured inputs for MetaOne (e.g., capability matrices).

SOP & Onboarding Protocols

• Create step-by-step integration playbooks tailored to each factory’s level of digital maturity.
• Develop training kits (video guides, templates, readiness checklists) to ensure smooth adoption.

QA & Defect Management Enablement

• Align factory practices with CreateOne’s defect taxonomies and inspection protocols.
• Guide QC personnel in adopting AI-assisted vision tools and defect capture.

Stakeholder Management

• Build trusted relationships with factory owners and line leaders.
• Serve as a liaison between factory needs and the AI/engineering teams.

Continuous Problem-Solving

• Maintain a backlog of real-world pain-points and work with engineers to test targeted solutions.
• Run structured pilot tests and document learnings for future factory enablement.

Success Metrics (First 6 Months)

• 10+ partner factories integrated with CreateOne, producing <1.5% defect rate.
• 3-week median integration timeline per node.
• Live barcode/QC telemetry from every new certified line.

Requirements

Apparel & Industrial Engineering

• 7–15 years in cut-and-sew operations across multiple factory types.
• Fluent in AQL, SMV, folder setup, and operator training.

Digital Transformation Familiarity

• Experience deploying or collaborating on ERP/MES/QC tool rollouts.
• Knows how to communicate with engineers but doesn't need to code.

Systems Communication

• Adept at translating floor-level constraints into structured inputs or digital specs.
• Strong documentation habits; clear, instructional communication.

Change Leadership

• Has driven SOP standardization, pilot adoption, or process innovation in brownfield sites.

Benefits

Yes—we offer great benefits: medical, dental, vision. Yes—we’ll pay you well: in both cash and equity based on what you’ve done, but more importantly, what you build here.

But that’s not the point.

The point is this: you’ll be part of writing the next industrial playbook—the one powered by real AI, not chatbots or dashboards, but systems that fundamentally change how things are made.

Resonance is building the operating system for the next generation of physical enterprise. And we’re doing it from the fabric up. If you join us, you won’t be handed a roadmap. You’ll be helping draw it—in code, in process, in manufacturing logic, and in data feedback loops that learn faster than any human team ever could.

We don’t hire passengers. We don’t copy what’s already been done.

We’re writing the protocol for how intelligence flows through atoms.

If that sounds abstract—it won’t after your first month.

If that sounds massive—it is.

This is your chance to help build something that redefines how the world works.

And if you’ve got the fire, you’ll own a part of it.
