The same document about mechanically welded aluminium alloy joints that will compose a Variable Immersion Base.

The same as 'responsable SEM.'
Any idea about 'SEM.'?

Thank you.

SEM supervisor/coordinator

Explanation:
"Pilote" is often coordinator or supervisor in these contexts.

SEM could well be the name of the company, or an acronym for something like "securité, électricité, maintenance" etc.

Notes to answerer

Asker: It is surely not the name of the company. I think you are right with Soudure Entretien Montage! Thank you.

SEM operator

Explanation:
Définitely looking like Scanning Electron Microscopy to me (Note that the french acronym is actually MEB : Microcopie électronique à balayage)

The "pilote" would be the one operating the microscope which I can tell you from experience is not a trivial task.

And given that your context is about microtechnology, SEM is definitely not the name of the company
