Cloud Hardware Development Manager, AWS Gen AI & ML Servers
Technical Leadership & Strategy
You will lead hardware engineers who define the platforms running the world's largest AI workloads. You will set technical strategy for your team's hardware portfolio working alongside product and leadership teams, making trade-offs between schedule, cost, reliability, and performance.
People Leadership & Development
You will hire, develop, and retain a team of hardware and system software engineers; build a high-performing team culture focused on engineering excellence and customer obsession. You will set clear goals, provide regular feedback, and actively coach engineers through career growth as part of 1:1s. You will perform calibrations and promotion assessments; ensure your team's technical bar remains high. You will create an inclusive team environment where engineers can do their best work.
Program Delivery & ODM Management
You will drive hardware programs from concept through manufacturing and fleet deployment, ensuring milestones are met across NPI phases (Program Initiation, Design, Qualification, Pilot, Post-GA). You will lead ODM and silicon supplier partnerships: establish technical standards, drive design reviews, manage EVT/DVT/PVT builds, and hold partners accountable for quality and schedule. You will identify program risks early, escalate with data and proposed mitigations, and unblock cross-functional dependencies.
Fleet Operations & Quality
You will own operational metrics for your team's server platforms: annualized failure rates, system availability, manufacturing escape rates. You will drive root cause analysis of fleet-wide failures and ensure corrective actions flow back into design requirements and qualification criteria for future platforms. You will establish closed-loop feedback systems connecting field failure data to upstream design and manufacturing improvements.
Cross-Functional Alignment
You will align with EC2 architecture teams on instance requirements, workload characterization, and platform roadmaps. You will partner with firmware, software, test automation, and datacenter operations teams to ensure hardware is debuggable, serviceable, and automation-ready. You will communicate technical strategy, program status, and risk posture to senior leadership. You may require occasional (
