Digital Simulation Project Manager (M/F)

PX Group comprises around ten companies specialised in the manufacture of high-quality customised semi-finished products for watchmaking, industry, medical, and cutting tools. We offer unique expertise. With a strong family identity, we encourage autonomy and innovation in a dynamic environment.

To expand our Methods & Industrialisation teams at PX Précinox and PX Précimet, each composed of 7 people on each site, we are looking for a digital simulation project manager.

You are autonomous, curious, and have good communication skills to work with multidisciplinary teams. You have a proactive attitude and are a source of proposals.

Digital Simulation Project Manager (M/F)

Your impact:

• Carry out digital simulations on Coldform in close collaboration with industry experts to reduce the time and costs of developing new products in production
• Verify the consistency of simulation results with production reality (filling, defects, tool durability, etc.), analyse and understand discrepancies to better address them (impact of various external factors on simulation results and reality: friction/lubrication, mechanical properties of the deformed material and those of the tools, etc.).
• Ensure reliability and optimise rolling or drawing sequences as part of cost reduction (Lean manufacturing)
• Optimise tool lifespan through optimisation of the shape of blanks and sequences (work hardening per pass)
• Write a simulation guide intended for industry experts
• Train industry experts in simulation

You make a difference if:

• You hold a scientific degree at Bachelor/Master level in materials science
• You have initial experience in an academic or professional environment in the field of plastic deformation (cold deformation is an asset)
• You master numerical simulation of deformation processes (ideally with Coldform software or other comparable deformation simulation software)
• You have a good understanding of phenomena induced by plastic deformation (cold deformation is an asset) and heat treatments at the mechanical and metallurgical level for steels (titanium-, nickel-, cobalt- and gold-based alloys are an asset)
• You are proficient in French and English, both spoken and written
