Dear Engineers,
I recently accepted a job offer of Engineer position and I am starting in a week. Due to some family conditions, I have to go back to my country for two weeks (atleast) to take care of some family stuff. I live in California and my country is on the other side of the world. Now, I am thinking how to ask the manager about the vacation only one week after the start date of the job. How bad would this look? What would you think about all this If you were my manager and I asked you for two weeks vacation only one week after the start date?

Regardless, talk to your hiring manager now and explain you have a family situation and need to delay your start by what ever time you think you need.
This is not unheard of and a good company/manager will understand.

Maybe they have orientation/training scheduled that week for 5 new employees including you, and it is better to get through that and then be gone for 2 the weeks. Most likely its still easier for everyone if you delay the start, but you don't know unless you ask.
