Manager, Cloud Hardware Development, Cloud compute/gpu/storage server team

Vision & Architecture

Set the technical vision and multi-generational roadmap for storage or accelerator (AI/ML/GPU-based) server platforms.
Make architectural bets that differentiate AWS — anticipating customer needs and industry shifts before they become obvious.
Manage a team of hardware architects in defining server platform architectures that optimize for performance, reliability, cost, and speed of customer adoption.
Translate deep understanding of customer workloads (storage, AI/ML training, inference) into hardware design decisions.
Influence the broader AWS hardware strategy through data, conviction, and results.

Design, Build & Test

Own server platform development from architecture through detailed design, prototype, build, and qualification.
Manage a team of engineers responsible for design, build and launch of systems.
Lead ODM/JDM and design partner relationships, ensuring our requirements for performance, quality, testability, and diagnostics are met.
Drive design verification, system validation, and qualification — ensuring platforms meet reliability, performance, and cost targets before deployment.
Ensure systems are designed for operational excellence from day one — testability, diagnosability, and serviceability are built in, not bolted on.

Deploy, Launch & Fleet Health

Own deployment to the data center, launch readiness, and successful ramp into production.
Drive qualification and readiness milestones, removing technical and organizational blockers to get servers into the fleet.
Own fleet health beyond launch — your responsibility never ends.
Monitor quality, reliability, and customer experience for the life of the platform.
Build predictive failure detection capabilities using telemetry, error trending, and log correlation.
Establish and track fleet health metrics (failure rates, MTTD, MTTR, first-time fix rate, predictive accuracy).

Team Leadership & Development

Manage and grow a diverse team spanning hardware engineering, systems development, and technical program management.
Hire, develop, and retain top talent across multiple engineering disciplines.
Create an environment where engineers with fundamentally different expertise (hardware, firmware, software, program management) collaborate effectively and challenge each other.
Set clear goals, remove obstacles, and hold the team to high standards on delivery and quality.
Coach and develop senior technical leaders — help architects think bigger and help execution-focused engineers see the strategic picture.

Cross-Organization Collaboration

Partner with AWS service teams to ensure server platforms meet data path and control path requirements and drive fast adoption.
Work with supply chain, manufacturing, and datacenter operations teams to deliver at scale.
Influence peer teams and senior leadership on technical direction, investment priorities, and trade-offs.
Represent your team's work and roadmap to VP-level and above.
