TL;DR · Hardware Engineering Manager

Hardware Engineering Manager As part of the Equipment Intelligence and Sensor Engineering organization within the Deposition Product Group, you will lead a team focused on the mechanical architecture, integration, and deployment of advanced sensor systems into semiconductor capital equipment. You will manage the design of complex opto-mechanical and electro-mechanical assemblies while collaborating with electrical and firmware teams to ensure robust system-level performance. Your daily responsibilities include defining modular sensing platforms, overseeing CAD layouts and tolerance analyses, and driving DFx for production readiness. The role requires expertise in mechanical engineering, optical systems, and sensor integration to solve challenges in real-time visibility and process control. You will navigate a matrix structure to align cross-functional teams on hardware-firmware co-design, ensuring that sensing modules meet stringent reliability, thermal, and structural requirements while advancing the evolution of intelligent, sensor-rich equipment across the product portfolio.

What you'll do

  • Define and drive mechanical architectures for advanced sensor platforms, including imaging systems and optical assemblies.
  • Develop modular and scalable designs that can be deployed across multiple product lines and applications.
  • Oversee design quality by ensuring components meet functional, environmental, reliability, and safety requirements.
  • Manage the integration of electro-mechanical systems with electrical and firmware engineering teams.
  • Drive DFx initiatives to ensure products are manufacturable, serviceable, and cost-effective for production scale.
  • Lead a team of engineers through the full product development and new product introduction (NPI) lifecycle.
  • Coordinate hardware-firmware co-design to ensure seamless integration between mechanical packaging and sensor data pipelines.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering with 10+ years experience, Master's with 7+ years, or PhD with 5+ years.
  • Experience in engineering management or technical leadership roles.
  • Proven ability to lead and develop teams within a high-performance culture.
  • Strong background in designing complex electro-mechanical or opto-mechanical systems.
  • Experience leading engineering efforts through product development or NPI lifecycles.
  • Experience working in matrix organizations with cross-functional ownership across multiple disciplines.
  • Experience collaborating with Electrical and Firmware teams on integrated hardware systems.
  • Preferred experience in semiconductor capital equipment, optical systems, or sensor integration.
