Machinist

Within a machining workshop experiencing strong growth and continuous development, you will work in a dynamic environment combining rapid prototyping for the design office, design iterations, and production ramp-up. You will be involved in manufacturing technical, often complex parts, contributing to process optimization and continuous improvement of industrial performance. This position requires versatility, precision, and adaptability in a demanding and innovative environment.

Tasks & missions

• Read and interpret manufacturing drawings in order to produce mechanical parts, including complex components.

• Develop machining process plans and create CAM programs for CNC machining.

• Identify and procure the required cutting tools.

• Design, manufacture, and adjust machining fixtures and tooling (setups, clamping devices).

• Prepare, set up, and fine-tune machines prior to production launch.

• Launch production and monitor the proper execution of machining operations.

• Optimize machining parameters to improve quality, lead times, and productivity.

• Perform visual and dimensional inspections to ensure compliance of manufactured parts.

• Carry out first-level maintenance of machines and equipment.

• Participate in new product development in collaboration with manufacturing engineering.

• Propose technical improvements and manufacturing process optimizations.

• Communicate instructions and share technical know-how within the team.

• Report any anomalies and ensure compliance with safety instructions and quality procedures.

• Prepare and follow manufacturing documentation files.
