Director of Engineering — Confidential Search
Orlando, FL (on-site; relocation supported)
EXO Talent Partners is conducting a confidential, retained search for a Director of Engineering on behalf of an established high-reliability microelectronics manufacturer in the greater Orlando, FL area. This is a hands-on leadership seat at a lean, fast-moving operation where engineering decisions visibly move the business. It is not a manage-from-the-office role. The right leader is technically deep, comfortable on the floor, and energized by building and mentoring a team across disciplines.
What you'll own
- Technical leadership across process, packaging, and test engineering for hi-rel microelectronic assemblies (wire bond, die attach, hybrid packaging, environmental screening), plus drafting, component engineering, and failure analysis.
- Hands-on support to the team on complex problems, from package design and electrical considerations through failure analysis.
- Developing engineers and building a cross-trained, high-ownership team.
- Partnering across operations, quality, and program management to deliver reliable hardware built on stable processes.
What we're looking for
- Degree in Electrical Engineering strongly preferred. Strong Mechanical Engineers with electromechanical, thermal, packaging, or hybrid microelectronics experience will be considered.
- Engineering leadership experience in hi-rel, hybrid microelectronics, semiconductor, or defense electronics manufacturing.
- Genuine hands-on depth. Someone who still likes to get into the weeds and earn the team's respect technically.
- Breadth across disciplines valued over deep specialization in one area.
- Must be a US person (US citizen or Green Card holder) due to export-control requirements.
Why it's worth a look
- A rare seat with real ownership and cross-disciplinary scope, one step from site leadership.
- Lean, modern operation with strong growth and investment behind it.
- Cross-training culture and the chance to become broadly expert across die and packaging.
- Orlando, FL: no state income tax, strong quality of life, relocation supported.
- Title flexibility for a strong candidate ready to step up.
