•Providing expert technical support to Contract Manufacturers during production and test phases, ensuring rapid resolution of manufacturing-related failures.

•Supporting Field Service Engineers in investigating and resolving failures observed at customer sites, including analysis of returned units and in-field issues.

•Collaborating closely with R&D teams to root-cause prototype and pre-production issues, contributing to enhanced design robustness and validation.

•Performing hands-on failure analysis, including hardware manipulation, measurement, mounting/demounting, and rework of assemblies.

•Utilizing laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies) to characterize failures and confirm hypotheses.

•Leveraging Linux-based environments and developing/maintaining Tcl scripts to automate tests, extract data, reproduce failures, and support diagnostics.

•Documenting analysis results, root causes, and corrective actions clearly and thoroughly.

•Interfacing with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Field Service) to drive timely and aligned issue resolution.

•Identifying recurring failure patterns and proposing continuous improvements to design, process, or test methodologies.

•Ensuring compliance with internal procedures, quality requirements, and relevant industrial standards.

The Impact You Will Have:

•Directly contributing to the robustness and reliability of Synopsys HAV products by ensuring rapid and effective failure resolution.

•Enhancing customer satisfaction by supporting swift troubleshooting and providing actionable insights to field and manufacturing teams.

•Driving continuous improvement by identifying systemic issues and advocating for design, process, or test enhancements.

•Enabling seamless collaboration across multidisciplinary teams, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and technical excellence.

•Supporting product lifecycle management through meticulous documentation and structured root-cause analysis.

•Reducing time-to-resolution for critical failures, minimizing downtime for customers and manufacturing partners.

•Improving internal processes and reinforcing compliance with quality and industry standards.

What You’ll Need:

•Engineering degree in Electronics (mandatory).

•Minimum 5 years of experience in failure analysis, hardware debugging, electronics design, manufacturing support, or related technical role.

•Deep expertise in complex electronic assemblies, including mixed-signal, digital, analog, and power electronics.

•Strong system-level understanding of mechanical integration, power management, and thermal impacts on electronics reliability.

•Hands-on proficiency with laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, logic analyzers, power supplies).

•Solid experience working in Linux environments for analysis, data extraction, and debugging.

•Proven ability to develop and deploy Tcl scripts for test automation and diagnostics.

•Fluency in both French and English (spoken and written); German language skills are a plus.

Who You Are:

•Analytical thinker with a structured, methodical approach to root-cause investigations.

•Excellent problem-solver, especially in multidisciplinary technical contexts.

•Autonomous and proactive, but highly collaborative when engaging with cross-functional teams.

•Clear, concise communicator—both in writing and verbally.

•Capable of managing multiple investigations simultaneously while maintaining quality and focus.

•Curious, rigorous, and persistent in pursuing solutions to challenging technical issues.
