--- base: meta-keywords: meta-viewport: width=device-width, title: Constructeur mouvement (H/F/X) --- Movement Constructor (M/F/X) ============================== WHYNESS DVLP-RH-Services Sàrl, is a recruitment firm active in French-speaking Switzerland. We support companies in the recruitment and selection of executives and specialists, while offering candidates personalized support in their career developments and transitions. Our approach is distinguished by a high level of requirement, a relationship of trust, and absolute confidentiality, both for the companies and the talents we accompany. Our interventions are mainly within the watchmaking, industry, and service sectors, for key and/or responsible functions. In this context, we are currently looking for a / an: Watch Movement Constructor (M/F/X) CDI | Watchmaking| La Chaux-de-Fonds Designing a movement means imagining what does not yet exist. Do you like starting from specifications, searching for a mechanical solution, designing it in 3D, confronting it with industrial constraints, and then seeing it come to life in the workshops? For a watch manufacture recognized for its know-how and the technicality of its developments, we are looking for a Watch Movement Constructor with solid experience in the design and development of watch mechanisms. A position for those who love to design as much as they love to understand, search, improve, and concretize. Your mission: Integrated into the Movement Development team, you participate in the design of new movements and mechanisms as well as the evolution of existing products. You intervene in the entire development process, from the first technical reflections to the validation of pre-series and production launch. Design and develop: * Design and build watch movements and mechanisms from specifications. * Integrate technical and industrial constraints as well as quality, cost, and deadline objectives from the design stage. * Participate in establishing back-schedules with project managers. * Collaborate closely with industrialization, manufacturing, quality, assembly, and after-sales service. * Accompany developments in the workshops and participate in the technical validation of pre-series. Research and innovate: * Imagine new mechanisms and propose solutions to improve products. * Analyze the state of the art, patents, and existing solutions. * Actively participate in development meetings. * Ensure technological monitoring and contribute to the evolution of construction standards. * Be a source of proposals when facing technical problems encountered. Guarantee construction quality * Control and validate plans produced by designers. * Verify the consistency of dimensioning, tolerances, and adjustments. * Validate technical modification requests. * Ensure the updating of plans and the follow-up of their various indices. * Guarantee the availability of reliable technical documentation for the different services. Evolve existing movements You also participate in the life of calibers already in production by proposing, developing, and validating modifications that allow for improved reliability, performance, or industrialization. You may also bring your technical expertise during the elaboration of certain commercial offers. Your profile: You hold a higher technical education ET/ES, HES, or equivalent, ideally in watchmaking design, microtechnology, or mechanical engineering. You have at least 3 years of experience in a similar function, with good knowledge of the development and construction of watch movements. A more global knowledge of watch casing constitutes an asset. Your technical skills You possess: * An excellent capacity for 3D mechanical representation and design. * A good mastery of a CAD software such as SolidWorks or Inventor. * Good knowledge of dimensioning, tolerancing, and adjustment principles. * Knowledge of numerical simulation, notably ANSYS, constitutes an advantage. * Knowledge of PDM technical data management environments. * A good understanding of the constraints related to the manufacturing and industrialization of watch components. And above all, your way of working We are looking for a person who does not settle for merely executing a design. You are technically curious, autonomous, and capable of proposing alternatives when a solution reaches its limits. You also appreciate leaving your screen to go into the workshops, exchanging with production, and confronting your technical choices with the reality of manufacturing. Rigor, confidentiality, team spirit, and the ability to share your knowledge will be essential to succeed in this function. Why join this manufacture? You will join an environment in which watch construction is at the heart of product development. You will have the opportunity to: * Participate in the development of new movements and mechanisms. * Follow your designs through to pre-series and their industrialization. * Work in close proximity to the different trades of the manufacture. * Intervene both on new developments and on the improvement of existing calibers. * Have real technical autonomy and be a source of proposals. * Evolve in an environment where expertise, innovation, and watchmaking know-how meet. Do you recognize yourself? You have already acquired experience in the construction of watch movements and wish today to participate in developments where your expertise
