Principal Customer Services Program Manager

What You'll Be Doing

Lead end-to-end execution of large-scale service programs, coordinating compute platforms driven by GPUs and advanced networking technologies across production data centers.

Support in-field service operations, including incident management, handling blocking issues, warranty delivery, and scalable hardware replacement strategies for customer field replaceable units.

Plan and coordinate support for infrastructure upgrades and retrofit programs across AI deployments, including system refreshes, field hardware swaps, firmware rollouts, and architecture changes.

Collaborate with hyperscale customers to align service strategies with real-world data center operations, including rack-level deployment, cluster expansion, and failure domain development.

Collaborate across NPI - Product Engineering, Hardware, and Networking teams to embed Serviceability principles into products.

Support NPI-to-production transition planning, ensuring operational readiness across spares, repair workflows, tooling, and global logistics.

When applicable, act as a main point of contact for hyperscale customers, handling field blocking issues, strengthening partnerships, and driving continuous service improvements.

Apply data and operational insights to drive efficiency and service delivery across deployed systems.

Enable global field and regional teams through clear runbooks, training, tools, and standardized processes for compute and network infrastructure support.

Build trusted relationships with customers through onsite and remote engagement, proactively improving service delivery, optimizing retrofit programs, and driving measurable operational success.
