• design tooling, machining clamps, positioning, assembly, polishing, etc., and take over the files;
• analyse drawings, sketches, concepts from the creation and product marketing departments by integrating technical, functional (feasibility, dimensional, etc.) and aesthetic constraints (respect for rendering and perceived quality);
• are responsible for the 3D design (CAD) of the Watch product and its associated casing components up to the production of drawings;
• are in charge of the entire technical file;
• present design reviews and justify your choices;
• manage and monitor the production of prototypes and support the industrialisation of watches from prototyping to pre-series and series, planning and respecting business milestones according to the project, anticipating and alerting to deviations;
• are a driving force in the continuous improvement of the design of new watches and their manufacturing by ensuring the updating of plans and technical data, and creating new models according to needs.
