• Establish structured design methodologies and implement efficient product development processes.
• Support the implementation of the new ERP system, particularly in aspects related to technical data and design integration.
• Work closely with the parent company (CSG) to ensure alignment on product innovation strategies and report progress in English.
• Develop and implement a Quality Department if required, defining procedures, inspection criteria, and quality assurance processes.
• Ensure compliance with relevant standards and regulations in the firearms industry.

Requirements

• Degree in mechanical engineering, industrial design, or related technical fields.
• At least 5-7 years of experience in R&D roles, ideally in mechanical industries involving precision machining or handcrafted assembly.
• Proven experience in designing new products and enhancing existing ones.
• Strong technical skills with CAD software and other design tools.
• Experience in supporting production teams by providing technical solutions and resolving design-related issues.
• Experience in establishing or managing a Quality Department would be considered a plus.
• Strong leadership skills, with the ability to mentor and develop team members.
• Strong English skills (written and spoken) to manage communication with the parent company.
• Proactive mindset, strong problem-solving abilities, and a goal-oriented attitude.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to lead innovation in a historic and prestigious company.
• A key role in shaping the future product strategy for a renowned luxury brand.
• A dynamic and collaborative work environment with strong international exposure.
