Process Machining Engineer (M/F/D)*



Your contribution

  • You work closely with production teams to achieve continuous improvement objectives in terms of quality, productivity and flow performance.
  • You analyse the capabilities of existing equipment and propose optimisations to improve their utilisation, enhance reliability and develop new processes.
  • You lead the continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, from the analysis phase to the implementation of robust standards, relying on recognised methodologies (Six Sigma, DMAIC, etc.).
  • You write, structure and deploy work instructions according to TWI standards, ensuring their adoption by operational teams.
  • You collaborate with various departments (production, quality, methods, R&D, sales) to meet customer requirements and project needs.
  • You take charge of the complete development of new machining processes, particularly within prototype projects or small series with high added value.
  • You programme and optimise CNC machines for machining technical materials (notably sapphire), ensuring industrial feasibility, repeatability and part quality.
  • You define machining strategies, process parameters, tooling and manufacturing methods adapted to customer requirements.
  • You are responsible for process development, from initial trials to industrial validation.
  • You manage process development projects from A to Z: needs analysis, feasibility study, testing, validation, industrialisation.
  • You are the main technical contact for prototype projects and coordinate between internal and external stakeholders.
  • You provide concrete and innovative solutions to meet the high technical demands of our clients.
  • As a process expert, you conduct and lead feasibility and industrialisation studies on specific or customised products.
  • You actively contribute to solving complex production issues (quality, capability, process drifts, etc.).

Your qualifications

  • Engineering degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent qualification
  • Initial technical training in machining
  • Proven experience in managing industrial projects and continuous improvement of production processes
