Program series and prototypes which you will then have to set up on 3 and 5-axis CNC machining centers for the manufacture of watch movement components, ensuring dimensional conformity, micrometric tolerances, and production rates.

Responsibilities

• Program using Alphacam software.
• Set up CNC machines with Heidenhain, Fanuc, and Beckhoff controls (axis settings, tool corrections, feed rates, cutting parameters) and launch production series independently.
• Perform dimensional and qualitative self-checks (calipers, comparators, three-dimensional machines) and correct drifts in real time.
• Ensure level 1 maintenance (tool changes, cleaning, lubrication) and report breakdowns to maintenance technicians.
• Optimize cycle times and contribute to the continuous improvement of machining processes in collaboration with programmers and methods.
• Guarantee production traceability (ranges, tracking sheets, quality records).

Profile sought

• Proven experience in programming on Alphacam.
• Expertise in setting up and operating 3 and 5-axis CNC milling machines on movement components (small series, prototype, high precision).
• In-depth knowledge of machining centers, with a plus for Willemin Macodel, Bumotec, and GF HSM (settings, setups, quick changes).
• CFC diploma in polymechanic, micromecanic or equivalent, with 3-5 years of experience in watchmaking CNC programming.
• Meticulous, rigorous, and capable of working independently within a technical team, with a strong sense of responsibility.
• Excellent mastery of reading and understanding technical watchmaking drawings, including fine tolerances and functional specifications.
• Marked interest in luxury watchmaking, with motivation for technical excellence and process optimization.
