Our partner is a leader in semiconductor metrology through the use of wavefront phase imaging, a technique derived from research in adaptive optics for astronomy. With a multidisciplinary team, and a flagship product, the company is revolutionizing semiconductor metrology with the highest lateral resolution and fastest measurement technique for in-line factory measurements. They're looking for a Engineering Manager for out to lead their System Engineering function as they scale. You'll manage a team of 5-10 engineers (junior/mid-level) working on complex metrology systems, balancing delivery execution with team development in a fast-paced scale-up environment. You'll report to the Head of Engineering and work closely with the System Architect to translate product roadmap and technical vision into executable delivery plans. Lead, coach, and develop 5-10 system engineers across integration, validation, performance optimization, and technology demonstration. Drive onboarding and skill development for junior and mid-level engineers. Manage quarterly planning, objectives, and execution commitments. Escalate capacity conflicts and blockers to Head of Engineering. Own and prioritize the System Engineering backlog in Jira based on capacity, risk, and system maturity. Balance incoming work from internal customers (software, mechanics, optics, applications) and demo requests against team capacity. Perform capacity planning and workload allocation across SE domains. Translate product roadmap into executable system engineering plans. Risk & Readiness Management Provide fact-based capacity assessments and delivery risk analysis. Provide technical guidance and mentorship in at least one domain (metrology, quality, optics, mechatronics). Review system behavior, test results, and failure modes. Participate in critical technical reviews and root-cause analyses. &##5-8 years
