What You’ll Be Doing:

•    Diagnosing and analyzing functional failures in highly complex electronic assemblies throughout the product lifecycle.

•    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.
