Allegro MicroSystems

Lab Technician

Annecy, France Full time

The Allegro team is united by a clear purpose—advancing technologies that make the world safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. With over 30 years of experience in semiconductor innovation, we bring that purpose to life across every part of the business—from breakthrough product development and customer success to how we show up for each other and the communities we serve.

The Opportunity 

We are seeking a highly motivated, high‑performing R&D Laboratory Technician to join our Greenhouse Innovation Team. This is a unique opportunity for a curious, hands‑on professional who wants to go beyond standard testing to truly understand the silicon and systems you validate. You will be a key partner in the rapid prototyping and validation of next‑generation Allegro technologies, contributing to innovation by translating rapid experiments into clear, data‑driven insights that shape design decisions. This role is ideal for someone with an engineering mindset who thrives in fast‑moving environments, with room to deepen your technical skills and broaden your impact over time.

What You Will Do

  • Partner with engineers on initial hardware bring-up and debug; go beyond standard test execution by investigating device performance and identifying the “why” behind results.

  • Support fast-moving, diverse projects by providing hands-on microelectronics assembly, board bring-up, and test execution.

  • Perform precision soldering and assembly of custom evaluation boards, load boards, and interface circuitry for test and product validation.

  • Assist in PCB and interface-circuit design; use coding/scripting (Python or MATLAB) to automate data collection and improve characterization efficiency while collaborating with engineers as needed.

  • Take ownership of the lab environment, ensuring benches, equipment, and storage areas are organized and meet Allegro’s high standards for safety and efficiency; collaborate with the on-site technician to manage calibration, maintenance schedules, and EHS compliance to sustain a safe, world-class R&D environment.

What You Will Need

  • Education: Associate’s degree in Electronics, Engineering Technology, or Microelectronics (or equivalent, e.g., BAC+2 minimum). Bachelor’s is a plus.

  • PCB design experience: Hands‑on experience creating schematics and simple-to-moderate test/fixture PCBs, part selection, and bring-up.

  • Programming proficiency: Comfortable scripting in Python or MATLAB to automate measurements, control instruments, process data, and generate reports. Able to build repeatable test scripts.

  • Lab expertise: Proven hands-on use of oscilloscopes, source measure units, power supplies, and spectrum/network analyzers; fine‑pitch SMD soldering/rework.

  • Learning mindset: self‑motivated, technically curious, organized and committed to continuous improvement.

  • Tools and documentation: Strong math and computer skills; clear documentation and communication of setups, procedures, and results.

  • Preferred: 3+ years of hands-on experience in an electronics R&D or test environment. Semiconductor industry experience is a strong plus.

  • Language: French C1 (professional working proficiency) required; English B2+ (spoken and written) for cross‑site collaboration and documentation.
