With a product portfolio of more than 120 optical glasses, materials, and special components, we master the entire value chain: from the development of custom glasses to the very high-quality finished product, as well as metrology. Machining Process Engineer (M/F/D)* Your contribution You work in close collaboration with the production teams in order to achieve continuous improvement objectives in terms of quality, productivity, and flow performance. You analyze the capacities of existing equipment and are proactive in proposing ways to optimize their use, improve their reliability, and develop new processes. You drive the continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, from the analysis phase to the implementation of robust standards, relying on recognized methodologies (Six Sigma, DMAIC, etc.). You write, structure, and deploy work instructions according to TWI standards, ensuring their adoption by the operational teams. You collaborate with the different departments (production, quality, methods, R&D, sales) in order to meet customer requirements and project needs. You take charge of the complete development of new machining processes, notably within the framework of prototype projects or small series with high added value. You program and optimize CNC machines for the machining of technical materials (notably sapphire), guaranteeing industrial feasibility, repeatability, and part quality. You define machining strategies, process parameters, tooling, and manufacturing methods adapted to customer requirements. You are responsible for the development of processes, from the first trials to industrial validation. You drive process development projects from A to Z: analysis of needs, feasibility study, trials, validation, industrialization. You are the main technical interlocutor on prototype projects and ensure coordination between internal and external stakeholders. You provide concrete and innovative solutions allowing for the meeting of the high technical requirements of our customers. As a process expert, you perform and drive feasibility and industrialization studies on specific or custom products. You actively contribute to the resolution of complex problems in production (quality, capability, process drifts, etc.).
