About the role

Onto Innovation seeks a seasoned Hardware Engineering Manager in the United States to lead mechatronics and motion-control initiatives for advanced metrology instruments. You will define architectures, select motors, sensors, and drive components while guiding cross-functional teams to deliver robust, production-ready systems. The role requires a strong background in vibration analysis, servo tuning, and achieving micron to nanometer accuracy, with global travel expected.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
