Licroelectronics is a crucial area of activity in our modern society. It is used in a wide range of electronic devices, from smartphones and laptops to cars and medical devices. Yet the microelectronics sector is often considered a male-dominated environment, where women are under-represented.
Women have always played an essential role in the history of technology, but their contribution is often overlooked or underestimated. However, things are changing fast: more and more women are entering the microelectronics sector and contributing their expertise to the design, manufacture and marketing of electronic products.

First of all, it’s important to emphasize that gender inclusion and equality are not only issues of social justice, but also have economic benefits. Companies with a gender-balanced workforce are more successful, more innovative and more profitable. Women bring unique perspectives and skills that enrich the whole company. Companies that are open to diversity are better able to adapt to market challenges and meet their customers’ needs.
At Microtest, we are fortunate to work with talented and committed women who contribute to the success of our company.
Sylvie Olivier, executive assistant, is an example of a woman who has managed to make her mark in a predominantly male professional environment. She is in charge of coordinating the company’s administrative activities and logistical support. His work is essential to the smooth running of the Microtest teams.
Marie-Hélène Beddelem, newly recruited project manager at Microtest, is also a source of inspiration. She brings cutting-edge technical expertise and a fresh perspective to new product development processes. His arrival at the company has strengthened the development team and enhanced the quality of Microtest’s products.
And we know we can always count on our accountant Brigitte Bouaud.
These three examples perfectly illustrate the importance of inclusion and gender equality in the microelectronics sector. However, recruiting talented women is not the only way to achieve this goal. Companies must also implement policies that promote gender equality in all aspects of the business, from hiring and promotion to training and working conditions.
At Microtest, we are committed to gender equality and inclusion, and are proud to work with talented and motivated women who contribute to our success.
Finally, it’s important to remember that inclusion is not just an issue for companies, but for society as a whole. By promoting inclusion and gender equality, we are helping to build a fairer, more equitable society for all.
