Unleash your Potential

As the Hardware Applications Engineering Manager, you will lead and develops the Applications Engineering team across Mechanical, Electrical, and Vision disciplines, directing technical and operational execution of customer hardware solutions on Cohu platforms.

You will play an important role in:

Technical Expertise

•Ensure hardware application work complies with system architecture guidance set by Systems Architecture, applying sound engineering judgment within that framework across Mechanical, Electrical, and Vision disciplines.

•Lead and participate in Request for Proposal and design reviews to ensure engineering standards, reliability, and quality are met across hardware application programs.

•Own technical risk management for hardware programs, including retrofit, kit-upgrade, and customer-specific configurations.

•Ensure mechanical, electrical, and vision hardware subsystems come together reliably as a single, unified customer solution.

Execution and Delivery

•Own resource planning and engineering capacity management across Mechanical, Electrical, and Vision to meet PO-driven project commitments.

•Drive schedule adherence and execution oversight for hardware retrofit, kit, and customer-specific implementation programs.

•Own NPI and production readiness for hardware application programs, ensuring designs transition cleanly from development to deployment.

•Provide direct support for customer escalations, ensuring timely technical and operational resolution.

Communication and Collaboration

•Act as the primary interface between Applications Engineering and Product Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Sales, and Service.

•Represent Applications Engineering in customer-facing discussions, technical reviews, and program updates.

•Partner with Software Applications counterparts, at any level, to ensure hardware and software workstreams stay aligned on shared customer programs.

•Communicate program status, risks, and resource needs clearly to the Applications Engineering Manager and other stakeholders.

Leadership and Strategy

•Hire, mentor, and coach engineers across Mechanical, Electrical, and Vision hardware disciplines; build succession depth and organizational capability.

•Develop team skills and career paths for individual contributors (Engineer through Senior Staff Engineer) within Hardware Applications Engineering.

•Set direction and priorities for the hardware applications organization in alignment with business goals and the Applications Engineering Manager's strategy.

•Build a scalable organization structure and ways of working that support future growth and succession planning without adding management layers prematurely.

Continuous Improvement

•Drive continuous improvement of engineering standards, design rules, and processes across hardware disciplines.

•Lead root cause analysis and corrective action for hardware-related quality, delivery, and field issues.

•Champion design standardization and knowledge management to reduce rework and improve reuse across customer programs.

•Identify and implement process and tooling improvements that increase hardware engineering productivity and predictability.

To be successful in this role, you need to have:

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline; an advanced degree or technical program management credential (e.g., PMP) is a plus.
• 10+ years of engineering experience in semiconductor equipment, ATE, or industrial automation, with significant experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• 5+ years in an engineering management or technical leadership role, with a proven record of leading teams across more than one engineering discipline.
• Demonstrated experience in customer-facing execution, resource and capacity management, and cross-functional coordination across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain.
• Experience with PO-driven project delivery, NPI, and retrofit/kit-upgrade programs.
• Suitable backgrounds may include Applications Engineering Manager, Systems Engineering Manager, Engineering Manager, Product Engineering Manager, Technical Program Manager, or a Mechanical/Electrical Engineering Manager with demonstrated multidisciplinary leadership experience; depth of hands-on mechanical design expertise alone is not a substitute for cross-disciplinary leadership experience.
• Effective communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to operate as a solution owner for hardware ap-plication delivery.
• Willing to travel as required to support customer and program needs.
