French term or phrase: metteur au point mécanique
This is from an article about a company that has adjusted its production line to meet the size requirements of a new automobile model.

Durant 8 mois, de nuit et sans arrêt d'usine, une équipe de 5 roboticiens, 5 automaticiens, 4 metteurs au point mécanique, 4 chefs de chantier et jusqu'à 50 compagnons a oeuvré à la transformation de 4 îlots de production et 38 robots.

agree  Andrea R: It's something along these lines. In the foundry where I worked, the 'metteurs au point' were based in the design office and helped devise and set up equipment for the shopfloor workers
