Chef De Projet Digital jobs in France

CAMECA is a world leading supplier of microanalytical and metrology instrumentation for research and process control. Our instruments measure elemental and isotopic composition in materials down to atomic resolution and equip government and university labs as well as high-tech industrial companies around the world.

Reporting to the Director of Operational Excellence, the Industrialization Project Manager is responsible for managing and coordinating the industrialization of our products and sub-assemblies, ensuring a smooth transition between R&D, engineering, methods, and production.

You will be accountable for industrial feasibility, quality, cost, and delivery (QCD). The role involves transversal collaboration with Project Managers and R&D, Methods, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to ensure industrial control and a seamless transition from development to production.

You will oversee and report on industrialization activities and continuously improve the process to increase the reliability of our instruments for customers.

Responsibilities :

The Industrialization Project Manager will :

Design and Implementation of the Industrialization Process Serve as the process owner for industrialization within the CAMECA Product Life Cycle Management (PLCM) framework.

Design, structure, and continuously improve industrialization processes to ensure robustness and repeatability.

Coordinate the industrialization of product design : participate in design reviews to ensure manufacturability (DFM – Design for Manufacturing / DFA – Design for Assembly).

Lead the implementation and validation of industrial equipment (internal and supplier-based).

Collaborate with Procurement and Quality to qualify new suppliers and equipment.

Ensure regulatory and normative requirements are integrated into process design from the outset.

Planning and Management of Industrialization Projects – From Kick-off to Serial Life

Manage all phases of industrialization projects : scoping, planning, execution, validation, ramp-up, and transition to full-scale production.

Support the launch of initial parts or batches through to final industrial validation (e.g., PPAP, initial samples, process capability studies).

Coordinate internal teams (engineering, methods, quality, production, supply chain) and external partners.

Identify technical and organizational constraints early and implement corrective action plans.

Establish project milestones and ensure tracking through structured governance (project reviews, technical committees).

Lead industrialization projects with internal and external suppliers (production sites, partners, subcontractors). Propose global development plans or alternate scenarios when adjustments are needed.

Supervise qualification and / or validation tests.

Ensure adherence to deadlines, budgets, quality standards, and applicable references.

Contribute to component obsolescence management.

Lead dual sourcing projects.

Manage project risks (technical, logistical, scheduling) and define mitigation strategies.

Continuous Improvement : Quality, Cost, and Lead Time Participate in technical design reviews (mechanical, electronic) to improve manufacturability and maintainability.

Identify cost optimization levers (standardization, design-to-cost, process simplification) for production and service activities.

Drive corrective action plans addressing non-conformities, deviations, and quality issues (e.g., QRQC, 8D, DMAIC), in close collaboration with the Quality team.

Lead projects to reduce industrialization lead time and improve overall performance (efficiency, cycle time, etc.).

Promote Lean Manufacturing principles (5S, VSM, SMED, Kaizen) in continuous improvement initiatives.

Participate in technology watch on processes, tools, and innovative industrial methods.

Technical Documentation and Knowledge Management Coordinate the creation and maintenance of industrialization deliverables : PFMEA / DFMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis)

Control plans

SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures)

Production support documentation In collaboration with the Methods team, ensure documents are accessible and up to date in the electronic document management system (EDM).

Capitalize on lessons learned to enrich internal industrial best practices.

Communication & Reporting Ensure smooth and effective communication among project stakeholders.

Provide regular reports to management on progress, risks, alerts, and decisions needed.

Propose key decisions and trade-offs during steering committees.

Represent the Industrialization function in cross-functional meetings.
