Technical Sales and Field Application engineer specializing in advanced semiconductor test solutions and customer-focused probe technologies.
FranceWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Field Application Engineer and Technical Sales professional focused on turning customer testing requirements into high-performance probe card solutions. Since Feb. 2025, as Principal Field Application Engineer & Technical Sales at Form Factor, I provide expert pre/post-sales support for advanced probe card products, including MEMS-based and high-frequency solutions.
I collaborate directly with semiconductor customers to define device testing needs, translate device data into optimized probe card designs, and align with design and manufacturing teams. I also run product and application training seminars, represent the company at trade shows, and act as a technical liaison between customers, sales, and engineering to resolve complex application challenges and drive product improvements.
Previously at Teradyne (Sept. 2022 – Jan. 2025), I owned end-to-end test fixtures (Probe card, Load Board)—from cost calculation and planning to architecture specification—and built business development strategies for key European accounts. Earlier, at STMicroelectronics and Schneider Electric, I strengthened my foundation in semiconductor design and test/validation work through schematic simulation in Eldo (Cadence), DRC/LVS/DFM and physical verification, and lab-based EMC/electrical validation, so I can support customers from both application and engineering perspectives.
